The Amazon Influencer Program is the closest thing to guaranteed money online that I’ve found. The floor seems to be about $1/month per video, but many creators make closer to $3/video. It depends on the products you review and, to some extent, the quality of your reviews.
The TikTok affiliate program has “home run” potential. One video can make enough to buy a nice car. These are rare, but the thrill of that potentially being there is motivating.
The big difference between the two programs, though, is that TikTok affiliates need to be more talented on camera than Amazon influencers do. Amazon influencers just need to talk about a product for 60 seconds and hit publish. TikTok affiliates have to create clever video ideas, bring a decent amount of on air charisma and have decent editing skills.
The good news is there is no rule saying you can’t do both. I’m doing both. Many products overlap on the TikTok shop and Amazon, so you can absolutely create videos that work for both platforms and “double dip,” on commissions.
