How To Stay On The Top Carousel For Amazon Influencer Program

About this video

The creator explains how to stay longer in the top carousel in the Amazon Influencer Program, where influencers get a storefront, upload product review videos to Amazon listings, and earn commission when a viewer watches and buys. With many products accumulating — he frames it as having 100-500 videos leading to daily sales adding up — placement matters. A video may appear only in the lower part of a listing, or in the upper photo carousel, and Amazon rotates influencer videos in and out when there are more videos than slots, so a video can sell for a month, disappear, and sell again months later. Competition, thumbnail, video quality, and title affect ranking. Using a water bottle example and a tool he calls Fluencer Fruit (his affiliate link is in the description), he shows how to check how many influencer videos are in the upper carousel, the BSR, ratings, and a product score. His ideal find has only a brand video in the upper carousel and zero competing influencer videos, decent sales velocity, and a score around 70 or above — an example insulated water bottle had 167 reviews at 4.6 stars and a BSR of 6,570 in Kitchen and Dining with no influencer competition. He says research can be done manually, which he recommends for beginners learning the process, but the tool saves time sorting products by score and review count.

Key takeaways

• Amazon rotates influencer videos in and out of the top carousel when videos exceed available slots, so sales for a product can pause and resume months later
• The fewer competing influencer videos on a listing, the longer your video can stay in the top carousel and the more sales it can capture — zero competition is the ideal
• Thumbnail, video quality, and title all factor into ranking when many influencers compete on the same listing
• The creator uses Fluencer Fruit to check upper-carousel video count, BSR, ratings, and score, targeting scores of about 70 and above
• Manual searching is presented as a valid way for beginners to learn, while the paid tool is framed as a time-saver once you understand the research
