  • Quality vs Quantity for Amazon Influencer Videos: Why More Uploads Don’t Always Make More Money

    Quality vs Quantity for Amazon Influencer Videos: Why More Uploads Don’t Always Make More Money
    Mar 29 2026
    In this episode, Mike & Ben break down one of the biggest debates in the Amazon Influencer Program: quality versus quantity.A lot of creators fall into one of two camps. Some believe the answer is to post as many videos as possible and play a volume game. Others take a more intentional approach, focusing on better products, stronger videos, & content that stays on carousels longer. In this conversation, Mike & Ben explain why both approaches can work, but why quality often leads to better long-term results, higher earnings per video, & less burnout.Ben shares how he started out posting around 100 Amazon Influencer videos a month before shifting toward a more quality-first strategy after seeing that longer, better-made videos were performing better and lasting longer. Mike also talks through why low earnings often come from videos falling off carousels quickly, why product selection matters so much, and why creators need to think beyond just pumping out content.The episode also covers choosing products with real sales history, being more selective with samples, building long-term brand relationships with flat fees, retagging videos as ASINs change, & cleaning up your storefront over time.Mike and Ben also talk about why YouTube needs a completely different strategy than Amazon. They explain why blindly automating YouTube uploads is usually the wrong move and why search intent, titles, keywords, thumbnails, A/B testing, & evergreen content matter much more on YouTube than they do on Amazon onsite.If you are an Amazon Influencer, content creator, or product reviewer trying to make better videos, earn more per upload, & build a smarter long-term strategy across Amazon & YouTube, this episode will help you think more clearly about what actually moves the needle.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, & honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator’s Leverage Guild was built for exactly that.Learn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator’s Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!⁠The AIP Master Guide⁠ - Stop guessing your way through AIP.

  • AI Jobs, and Side Hustles: Why Creators Need a Security Blanket Now

    AI Jobs, and Side Hustles: Why Creators Need a Security Blanket Now
    Mar 22 2026
    In this episode, Mike and Ben talk through how AI is rapidly changing work, creativity, job security, and the way people need to think about side hustles and long-term financial stability.What started as skepticism around tools like ChatGPT has now shifted into a much bigger conversation about how AI is already impacting jobs, business, and the future of work. Mike and Ben break down how they personally use AI for brainstorming, outlines, thumbnails, business analysis, and workflow support, while also talking about the downsides, including inaccuracy, over-reliance, and the loss of human connection in certain creative areas.A major theme in this episode is that traditional job security is changing fast. As automation and AI continue to grow, more people are realizing they need additional skills, extra income streams, and a better long-term plan than simply relying on one job and hoping retirement works itself out.Mike and Ben make the case for building side hustles, developing practical skills, lowering expenses, and creating some form of evergreen income through things like YouTube, Amazon, content creation, or other online businesses. The idea is not to panic, but to build a security blanket that gives you more options as the world keeps changing.They also talk about which types of skills may hold up better in an AI-driven world, why hands-on real-world experience still matters, and how creators and entrepreneurs can use AI as a tool without letting it replace the things that make them valuable.If you’ve been thinking about AI, layoffs, retirement, side hustles, or what the future of work looks like, this episode is a grounded conversation about how to adapt, stay useful, and keep building.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, and honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator’s Leverage Guild was built for exactly that.Learn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator’s Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!The AIP Master Guide - Stop guessing your way through AIP.

  • Amazon Influencer Changes: Is This Bad News or a Bigger Opportunity?

    Amazon Influencer Changes: Is This Bad News or a Bigger Opportunity?
    Mar 15 2026
    In this episode, Mike and Ben are joined by Rob, the creator of Oink, to break down the recent turmoil inside the Amazon Influencer Program, including reporting issues, messaging outages, confusion around Creator Connections reporting, and the removal of Halo sales.This conversation is centered around what these Amazon Influencer Program changes actually mean for creators and, more importantly, what you should be focusing on next. While many creators are frustrated by broken reports and shifting data, the core fundamentals of the program have not changed. Mike, Ben, and Rob talk through why creators need to stop obsessing over short-term reporting problems and get back to the things that still move the needle: product research, consistency, strategy, and making quality videos that answer real buyer questions.The episode also covers how the Amazon Influencer Program is continuing to evolve, including new opportunities around Creator Connections, sponsored clicks, offsite traffic, mobile app video carousels, Amazon Live, and Creator Rewards bonuses. Ben shares how shifting more of his focus toward YouTube, Creator Connections, and offsite traffic has helped improve results and create a more diversified income stream.Mike, Ben, and Rob also talk about why creators should be thinking beyond free samples and start building stronger brand relationships, using better content and data to negotiate smarter opportunities. They discuss why authenticity matters more than ever, why unboxing videos alone are not enough, and how better long-form content, buyer-focused videos, and stronger execution can help creators stay competitive even when the platform changes.If you are an Amazon Influencer trying to understand the latest reporting changes, Halo sales removal, Creator Connections updates, and what still works inside the Amazon Influencer Program, this episode will help you cut through the noise and refocus on the right things.____________________JOIN THE COMMUNITYIf you are looking for deeper strategy, accountability, and honest conversations with other serious content creators, the Creator’s Leverage Guild was built for exactly that.Learn more and join here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creator’s Leverage Guild⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________________WORK 1-ON-1 WITH MIKE AND BENGet personalized guidance on content strategy, monetization, brand deals, and scaling your creator business.• Book a 1-hour coaching call• Save with a 4-session coaching package⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign Me Up!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________________JOIN OUR FREE FACEBOOK COMMUNITYConnect with other Amazon Influencers and content creators, ask questions, and stay up to date on what is working right now.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Influencer Success Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_________________________CHECK OUT OUR 2 NEW EBOOKS THAT JUST LAUNCHED!⁠The AIP Master Guide⁠ - Stop guessing your way through AIP.
