Current Challenges:

Low Engagement Numbers: Despite increased video output, earnings have declined.
Frustration: Despite posting more videos, earnings haven’t matched the effort, leading to frustration.

Potential Reasons for Decline

Increased Competition:

More AIP influencers in the market, leading to saturation.
Amazon’s changes in video carousel placement have reduced visibility.

Product Relevance:

Many reviewed products, particularly from Chinese suppliers, are new and unproven, leading to lower sales.
Previously reviewed household items, which are popular and well-reviewed, tend to perform better.

Video Quantity vs. Product Quality:

High video count doesn’t always equate to higher earnings, especially if the products are not in demand.

Strategies to Improve Earnings

Diversify Income Streams:

Selling Free Products: Leveraging free products received from suppliers by selling them on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or eBay.
Paid Video Reviews: Negotiating payment for video reviews, even if commissions are low.
Licensing Content to Brands: Potentially earning $500 or more by licensing video content to brands for a limited period.

Creator Connections:

Get more free products and better deals.

Advice for New AIP Participants

Getting Started:

TikTok as a Gateway: TikTok is currently the most reliable platform for gaining entry into AIP.
Avoid Common Pitfalls:

Don’t mention Amazon directly in videos to avoid rejection.
Focus on engagement rather than follower count.

Three-Video Requirement:

After you get in for the first level, make sure to go here: https://www.amazon.com/creatorhub/.
You'll see that you'll need to upload 3 videos and that there's still a lock for on-site placement.
Once you upload the videos and they are approved, then you'll receive a welcome message and the lock will disappear.
Remember, if you get rejected, it may not be the videos. It could be your social media account.
