How Does the Amazon Influencer Program Application Work?

Dark Mode

This post is part of our ongoing blog series on the Amazon Influencer Program.

You’ve done your research, built your audience, and now you’re ready to apply to the Amazon Influencer Program—but what exactly does the process look like?

Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough of the Amazon Influencer Program application process, so you know exactly what to expect.

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.

Bonus: Already in Amazon Associates?

If you’re part of Amazon Associates already, you can use the same login—but the application process is still required to unlock Influencer Program features (like storefronts and on-site video placement).
