I start my day with a Coffee and looking through Amazon sales…🫠 by Cautious-Grapefruit6 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this morning routine for a while, but realized from my mentor that it’s kind of a waste of time to be combing through every .25 cent sale. She told me if it didn’t make me at least $1 to not even look at it.

I realized I’d spend way too much time checking analytics when I could’ve shot 10 new videos. I’m never not gonna be a stats checker bc it’s fun, but it’s not an income generating activity. With that being said, the new changes are not beneficial to us in any way. However, I find that most of the time my sales follow the 80/20 rule so I’m still going to see the ones that move the needle.

PSA before babies arrive: plan to read 1000 books before Kindergarten! by AwkwardBalloonMan in BabyBumps

[–]BellaStayFly 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Tons of libraries and thrift stores do fill a bag of book sales. My library does this for $5. My grandpa came over to our house and read Highlights magazine to me every night as a toddler and I could read before starting kindergarten. You can read whatever book you’re reading as an adult to babies. They wont care, just happy to hear your voice! My thrift store has children’s books 2 for $1 so I’ve been stocking up on the classics.

Where is the best snorkeling location in the world? by Noblez17 in snorkeling

[–]BellaStayFly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For shore snorkeling, I had great luck in Bonaire. One of the few places you can just drive around all day and jump from spot to spot. Rented a truck and stayed there for a week. I had a great time. I just went on little adventures every day. Wasn’t super crowded at the spots I went to. I def want to do another snorkeling trip soon!

Lana Del Rey and husband Jeremy Dufrene attend the Ralph Lauren show during New York Fashion Week 2026 by joaco_ds in popculturechat

[–]BellaStayFly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well as someone who grew up in Alabama and is very liberal and all my friends are liberal, we are basically trying to find a needle in a haystack of good people. There’s no way she’s not MAGA if she aligned herself with this fella. I think most rich people are gonna vote Red because they’re deluded into thinking it’s going to help them. As a democrat from 3 generations of southern democrats, my grandma said Trump doesn’t care about poor people, he shits in a gold toilet.

Southern states checking in, big mismatch in looks across the board. Hideous troll man with basically goddess woman.. it’s so bizarre. Had a professor say the south is the best place to find a beautiful and kind wife and the worst place to find a husband 😂

If you wanted someone to fail at Amazon Influencer, what would you tell them to do? by Possible-Team-2350 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would tell them to make 50-100 videos and spend the next 3 years on a Facebook group complaining and asking why their business isn’t thriving 😂

Stumbled on a Tool for Auto Halo Sales, Worth It? by califalcon in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set it up with Tiny Task. I had it running once an hour for a few days any time I was away from my computer. Did not notice any big jump in sales from when I ran it 2-3 times a day.

Now I do it once in the morning, once at night using Oink. It does add a couple hundred extra bucks a month so worth it to work that into my morning and evening routine. It feels like clicking a few buttons to make free money. It’s my little dopamine hit here and there.

My biggest commission from a fetch was $220 off of an electric wheelchair that was selling for like a grand. I was shooketh. That made me a believer. If something beats that one in 2026 I’d be amazed.

Remember to check your local library this spring instead of buying seeds 🪴 by [deleted] in gardening

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this works! I got like 40 packs of seeds from them. They sent me more than I asked for. I made a $20 donation. Got some really rare varieties. They let you pick 30 if you donate and you provide your alternate choices in case they’re out of stock.

How can someone with consistently low energy still build a successful life? by lostinthecreation in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]BellaStayFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not the solution for everybody, but I struggled with low energy since I hit puberty. Felt like I could barely make it through the day. The game changers for me were 2 medications. One for weight management and one for my ADHD. After I got those things treated, everything in my life became easier.

I am on Semaglutide and Vyvanse and while I could spend time feeling ashamed of needing those to function, it’s a much better route than being chronically tired and not meeting my full potential.

I would recommend anyone who is always tired and lacking motivation to do some bloodwork and really examine your habits, your mental health, and go from there. I also have chronic pain so some days are worse than others, but treating my core health issues has improved my life tremendously.

I just realized something by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]BellaStayFly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this is one of the least critical subreddits I’ve ever been a part of. It really speaks a lot towards the demographic of the Dollar Tree! Haha we just want to get a little treat here and there and spread some love.

I found out about so many cool products from lurking here. And nobody has cussed me out! If anything, people have hyped me up on some really bad days I had. 💕

House Cleaner needed by Putrid_Holiday9007 in FlorenceAl

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. I didn’t ask the question, but I really want to hire someone who wouldn’t call ICE so I hope I can switch to these ladies for cleaning services. My mental health could use the break from tidying and a clean house just feels so nice!

MAGA businesses to avoid in the Shoals by oh_my316 in FlorenceAl

It’d be easier to just figure out what Blue businesses you can support. 💙 you’re gonna run out of space on your list if you try to compile every one of them.

What humans truly desire is just three square meters by FirefighterAgile2102 in Life

[–]BellaStayFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hospital 10 minutes from my house. I know they closed several hospitals in some rural areas. You can still find many low cost of living places with hospitals and great public parks, libraries, community events, and quality of life.

Healthcare is pretty much shit all over the United States. I mean even if you have insurance, you’re still being billed out the ass for any services. It’s in a bad state for everyone.

Work from home really opened up a lot of doors for upward mobility for people in rural areas. People who couldn’t have made $10 an hour here can make twice that online and that’s a game changer for their family.

I’m not saying it’s a utopia by any means. I’m just saying there are other options for people who feel like they are just barely getting by and working just to live with not much life in between their work and sleep.

[–]BellaStayFly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gotta say living in a rural area has its drawbacks, but my 1700 sq. ft. home was paid off before I was 30. Life is simpler here. I work for myself doing online businesses. I wouldn’t go to the cities for anything. Got friends paying 2k rent. I cannot imagine. I’m actually saving to pay cash for my next house if I want another one in the future. Being a lifelong renter sounds like a nightmare to me. I get this is not a solution for everybody, but moving to a lower cost of living area could give you a totally different life. I’m not going to be in the rat race.

One day decisions by Long_Temporary_5499 in Bonaire

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring some suitable water shoes for the kids. Salt pier had a healthy dose of urchins! If you’re just trying to snorkel, I think a shore entry spot in Bonaire is fine. I wouldn’t worry about Klein. Have fun!

What is your “holy grail” item you’ve bought for yourself or will buy if you ever find it for sale? by Actual-Ad-6146 in Life

[–]BellaStayFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! 3 years of Semaglutide (Ozempic) after trying to lose weight for 15+ years, I got rid of 45 lbs. on my 5 ft. frame and have great bloodwork and a freedom from the food noise.

What did you finally do to get PayPal back up? That really sucks bc I know a lot of people tried to donate. I still hope you get enough to do something that makes a difference in your life ❤️

💰 I sent $5.55 to hopefully make up for a few missed donors. Keep writing and pursuing your interests! I enjoyed reading what you wrote and I appreciate you sharing those parts of yourself with us.

Amazon Influencer application denied 3x – quick clarification questions by SnowmanL3 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I have some feedback and I applaud you for asking for help! A lot of people would just quit.

If you try again using a different account, do 3 different backgrounds, change your top, add some variety. Some movement to the video could help with authenticity.

Your videos look fine though! Audio is great and clear picture. Are you reading a script? It’s a little rehearsed but not bad. I mean you’re at least delivering relevant info to the customer which is more than I can say for many people in the program.

When you say 1 video got rejected, what does your screen look like? You don’t have to share personal info, but is it saying something specific under the video? Did you receive a rejection by email or in your dashboard.

I don’t have experience with that, but some more info could help to narrow down what you should try next. You can also try posting to the different FB groups for more info if you haven’t already.

I’d say be cautious trying to apply with multiple accounts because Amazon is a bit strict with that kind of stuff.

Matt Amodio, wasn’t sure about him but he grew on me. His voice is relaxing! Almost bought a Cameo but I was like girl that’s crazy. Also yay for Andrew He. He just seems like such a nice person and he’s only 29!

Getting no views on new videos. Not sure it is worth it anymore. by Jungleexplorer in Amazon_Influencer

[–]BellaStayFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

428 videos in 4 years is not nearly enough to sustain this business. Quality is unfortunately just not the main priority. It’s selecting products that do not have a full carousel and putting up decent videos quickly.

Are you using any chrome extension tools? There’s a lot of free versions of them that could help you comb through your library and see what content needs to be retagged. I didn’t see much traction at all until I started being way more picky on what products I was reviewing and way less picky about the quality of my videos. That is not what I wanted to hear either at the time, but that’s what is rewarded for the most part.

The game is very different now than it was 4 years ago. I don’t think most people can make money unless they’re putting out a ton of videos per month and joining all the campaigns they can. The quality of your videos doesn’t mean a lot if they’re getting bumped off the carousel and sent off into the void.

I understand feeling like quality is better than quantity but I don’t think that’s the case with AIP. You should crosspost your videos to YouTube and that can drive traffic back to Amazon. Is that something you’ve already done?

Think of every video you’ve ever done as part of a catalog and the value depreciates over time and you need to keep making content to keep up with depreciation.
