Step 1: Go to the Official Application Page
Start here: Amazon Influencer Program Application
This is where you’ll begin the process, whether you’re new to Amazon’s affiliate programs or already part of Amazon Associates.
Step 2: Choose Your Platform
You’ll be asked to connect one of your social media accounts:
Instagram
YouTube
TikTok
Facebook (Pages only—not personal profiles)
Amazon will evaluate this platform to determine your eligibility, so choose the one with the strongest mix of followers, engagement, and quality content.
Step 3: Sign in with Amazon
You’ll either sign in with your existing Amazon account or create a new one. (You can use a personal or business email—just make sure it’s the one you want tied to your earnings.)
Step 4: Connect and Authorize Your Account
Amazon will prompt you to connect and authorize the selected social platform. This gives them access to the public metrics they need to review your content and engagement.
Step 5: Wait for Approval
Once you complete the steps, you’ll either get:
Instant approval (usually for accounts that meet all the metrics)
“Under review” status, which can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days
Rejection, which can happen if your account is too new, inactive, or doesn’t meet Amazon’s requirements
We recommend checking your email and the application page regularly until you get a final decision.
