Amazon is the world’s largest marketplace and with so many offerings, it might be difficult to find exactly what you’re looking for. Especially if you don’t know it exists!
One great way to find new and exciting things to improve your life is by following Amazon’s influencers. They range from experts to celebrities, and even everyday people like you and me that have knowledge of the products they are describing.
It’s actually a pretty smart marketing play by Amazon to jump on the word-of-mouth / mini-celebrity play. It expands their audience and the ability for them to win a potential buyer over if someone they know like and trusts is pitching a product they are thinking about buying.

To find Amazon influencer storefronts through Amazon, go to the Amazon homepage and click on the main navigation icon located in the top left corner.
Then scroll down and click on “See All.”
Next, click on the hashtag #FoundItOnAmazon to find a list of aggregated photos that have been tagged from influencer collections and favorite products.
Finally, select specific product categories to narrow your search.

How do YOU join the Amazon Influencer Program?
Joining the Amazon Influencer Program is easy! You just have to have a few things in place.
- Killer social media – Amazon wants you to have a Youtube, Facebook, or Instagram account all setup and rolling
- The more the merrier – To get an official “influencer” account, you have to have a decent following on your platforms. Though no solid numbers have been released up to this point, 20k is the speculated number.
- Give and take – Amazon wants to see decent engagement between you and your audience. How else are you going to get those clicks!?
If all those are in place, you can head over to their Influencer portal and sign up!
You’d have to submit some info, profile pics, a bio, and the URLs to your social media profiles, but that’s to be expected.
Once that’s done, you’ll be asked to choose your platform of choice (HINT: the one with the biggest and most engaged following wins!).
Then if accepted, set up your storefront and start sharing your favorite products with your audience!
