My Amazon Influencer Program Application Was Rejected—Now What?

Rejections are common—and often fixable. Here’s what to do next.

Step 1: Take a Deep Breath (and Don’t Reapply Immediately)


It’s tempting to reapply right away, but that usually doesn’t work. Amazon likely flagged something in your application that needs time to improve.

Wait at least 2–4 weeks before trying again—and only after making changes.

Step 2: Review the Basics


Go back to the essentials. Make sure your account:

  • Is public (not private)

  • Has recent, high-quality content

  • Clearly targets a niche or audience (not just random posts)

  • Shows engagement—comments, likes, views, etc.

Step 3: Pick the Right Platform Next Time


If you applied with Instagram and got rejected, consider whether your TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook Page is stronger.

Amazon only reviews one platform per application, so choose the one with the best content and metrics.

Step 4: Boost Your Profile


In the meantime, focus on:

  • Posting consistently (weekly or more)

  • Creating valuable, niche-specific content

  • Interacting with your audience

  • Cleaning up your bio, pinned posts, and overall aesthetic

The stronger your account looks, the better your chances next time.

Step 5: Apply Again—Strategically


Once you’ve made improvements and given it some time, try again through the official portal: Amazon Influencer Program Application

Don’t give up—many successful creators were rejected the first time too.
