What To Ask For From Amazon Influencers
Savvy brands have been working with Amazon Influencers since the beginning of the Amazon Associates Program in 1996.
Even though Amazon Influencer Marketing has been around close to 30 years, working with Amazon Influencers is still new to many.
From getting included on YouTube videos and blog posts recommending top products to Amazon Live videos, this is how to work with Amazon Influencers to drive sales.
The term “influencer” conjures up imagery of Instagrammers and TikTokers holding up products in front of the camera.
The truth is, “Amazon Influencer” is an entirely different thing.
Amazon Influencers who are part of the Amazon Associates Program are responsible for over 37% of Amazons’ traffic and are sophisticated selling machines.
Amazon Influencers produce content that specifically targets customers who are ready to make a purchase and need a suggestion.
That said, knowing what type of content would do the best job at driving sales for your products is critical to a successful Amazon Influencer Marketing Campaign.
As a top-rated Amazon Consultant, I can tell you that these are the EXACT types of content and promotions to drive Amazon sales with Amazon Influencers.
Inclusion on Existing or Upcoming Articles
Get Featured on Amazon Influencer Blog Posts
Get featured on upcoming or existing Amazon Influencers Blog Posts like:
- Top Lists
- Best Lists
- Favorite Lists
- Idea Lists
- Must-Have Lists
- Gift Idea Lists
- Guides
- Checklists
- How-To Articles
- Tips & Tricks Articles
When thinking about how to evaluate an Amazon Influencer, you want to confirm they make content like this.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: First, these articles get found & read online. They show up on Flipboard, Apple News, Google News & other popular blog aggregators. Even better? This type of content is generally the last stop before a purchasing decision. This content does a remarkable job of driving external traffic to Amazon, which you need for Amazon SEO.
Inclusion on Upcoming YouTube Videos
Get Featured On Evergreen Amazon Influencer YouTube Videos
Get featured on upcoming videos like:
- Top Lists
- Best Lists
- Favorite Lists
- Idea Lists
- Must-Have Lists
- Gift Idea Lists
- Guides
- Checklists
- How-To Videos
- Tips & Tricks Videos
- Hauls
- Unboxings
One of our tips in How To Find Amazon Influencers is to search Referazon for this type of content in the YouTube Search.
This way, you know your Amazon Influencer creates this type of content.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: First, these types of videos get found and get watched. They dominate both search results and YouTube suggested videos. These types of list videos are generally the last stop before a purchasing decision. This content also does a remarkable job of driving external traffic to Amazon, which you need for Amazon SEO.
Op-Ed Style Reviews
Op-Ed Style Reviews & Unboxings With Catchy Titles Using Your Keywords (Video and/or Blog Article):
When asking for product reviews, request an Op-Ed style where you can help dictate the narrative.
Some example headlines include:
- The $30 Kitchen Gadget That Changed My Life
- This $25 Amazon Find Transformed How I Garden
- Suffer From Insomnia? You NEED This Supplement
- The Internet Is Obsessing Over This Coffee, Here’s Why
What’s more, you can leverage this type of content with any size Amazon Influencer.
Should you work with a nano-influencer with a small following, you can amplify the content through native advertising to reach as large of an audience as if you were working with a mega-influencer.
So, when you’re thinking about how to negotiate with an Amazon Influencer, keep in mind that you can still get the benefits of a mega-influencer from nano or micro-influencers.
Know What To Pay Amazon Influencers.
Get a proven process that’s worked for over 20 years.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: What sounds better? “Your Brand – Garden Tool Review” or “This Ingenious $20 Garden Tool On Amazon Saved Me Immeasurable HOURS”? Boring article & video titles never see the light of day. Plus, they don’t sell. You want your review to sound like the influencer just found the best solution to the problem ever. This is called pre-staging. If you are introduced as the best solution to the problem, that’s what your customer will believe.
Amazon Influencer Storefronts Idealists
Get Featured on Amazon Influencer Storefronts
Amazon Influencer Storefronts divide their product recommendations into “Idea Lists”.
These idealists are topical.
You will want to check out the idealists of the Amazon Influencers that you are partnering with and recommend which one you’d like to be included on.
You can see these in action over at Amazon Influencer Examples, but let’s say you sell jewelry. You’d want to be included on idealists with titles such as: “My Favorite Earrings”, “Must Have Jewelry Accessories”, “My Wardrobe Staples”.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: Amazon Influencer Storefronts have been a powerhouse for driving sales and awareness for some time now. What’s more, they boost SEO and are an evergreen way to get your products recommended to your Amazon Influencers’ highly engaged audience base. Simply stated, they are an easy way for the audience of your Amazon Influencer to buy their favorite things they see from that Amazon Influencer. Again, although this isn’t driving external traffic to your listing, it still drives conversions and boosts SEO in other ways.
Amazon Live Streams
Get Featured on Amazon Live Stream Videos
Some of the most effective Live Streams at driving sales are topical, top, or favorite products based streams.
For example, if you sell an avocado pitting tool, you would love to be included in an upcoming live stream titled: “Kitchen Gadget Time Savers” or “My Must Have Kitchen Gadgets”.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: Not only will this drive sales and boost SEO, but it immediately increases the perceived value of your products. Amazon Live Streams are growing with no signs of slowing down and with a proven technique akin to QVC or HSN, it’s no surprise why this sales mechanism works. Amazon Live Influencers do a great job of bringing people onto Amazon to learn about new products to try, then closing the deal once they’re there. Although this isn’t driving external traffic to your listing, it still drives conversions and boosts SEO in other ways.
Promo Code Distribution
Promoting Monthly Coupon Code Promotions To Their Social, Email, Blog & Video Audiences
Create promo codes monthly, quarterly or seasonally just for that particular Influencers audience.
This will keep the relationship going with your Amazon Influencer plus a steady flow of external traffic coming to your Amazon product listings.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: These types of promotional code blasts to blog posts, emails & social drive sales because they are value & benefit-driven from a source the customer knows, likes & trusts. After you’ve built the relationship with the influencer, don’t let it die on the vine, keep things going by rewarding their audience with regular coupon codes. This will keep your sales velocity going on Amazon which significantly improves your Amazon SEO, decreases your PPC costs and even better? Customers who use discount codes tend to leave more reviews.
Giveaways To Their Audience
Regular Giveaways To Their Audience
Giveaways have always been a powerful way to grow brand awareness and your following at the same time.
You can set criteria for giveaway entrants that require them to join your email list, follow you on social media and other brand-friendly actions.
This allows you to grow your own audience by leveraging their existing audience.
WHY YOU WANT THIS: Not only these drive demand and drive brand awareness, but they also can grow your following, expanding your reach of potential customers. There are lots of creative ways influencers can have people enter their giveaways that involve massive opportunity for you to grow your followings, fill up your Facebook Pixel & Google Analytics data & much more.
