Step 1: Go to the Official Application Page


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.
