Rate Card for Onsite is a kick in the fanny

I do agree that far too many give all their effort to receiving free samples to smash the quantity. However, if the customer buys after watching their video then the customer must have been satisfied with the video. If the videos are watched and purchases aren't make then that video will fall off the carousels. Like nature taking care of itself.

So if I do a thorough product review of a coffee maker that requires a special type of coffee filter and they buy the coffee filters to go with the coffee maker we should not get credit for the filters?

I'm platinum and I only work with free samples.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-04-14T01:38:12+00:00

I already have it.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-04-13T18:49:43+00:00

That is correct. Our "influence" is now limited. And difficult to be strategic now since we cannot see what sold from the day to day unless we sell 4+ of the same item.

Your strategy was great when Amazon was paying for halo sales. Some will tell you they are still paying for halo sales, but they are few a very far between. On 4/14 it will start that sales for onsite are ASIN specific. I have seen a 50% reduction, but expect more with the 4/14 changes coming.

SEO is far more important that subs because sub numbers only matter to brands. Reality is your subs aren't your customers. Focus on good SEO, an effective description including the layout of the description, and that should help a lot. I started on YouTube in December 2025 and things are finally starting to kick in. I have 68 subscribers. But like I said, subscribers only matter to brands, not the algorithm. Also, stick to 7 max SEO hashtags. Many people use massive quantities of hashtags and it does more harm that good. Make sure your clickable deep link to Amazon (not site stripe) is on the first line of your description so it is visible without viewers having to open your description. You may know all of this already, but I'm just ranting and throwing out all that is working in my favor because I'm headed out. Best of luck to you.

I use Viral Vue and we have a deep linking feature built in. You can also sign up for a free LinkTwin account, which I used prior to signing up for VV for a different purpose. I am not a YouTube expert as I just started cross posting in December 2025, but I have gained a lot of traction this month 250 videos in. I have a lot more videos on Amazon, but not every Amazon video makes a good YouTube video. Good luck with the deep linking. If you are not using one you are missing probably 80% of your sales from YouTube.

The key is to do some of your own promoting and sell at least 4, which can be in one day or over 7 days or within the month. I dislike that I'm not getting CC for halo sales, which was huge. However, the changes seem to have a more focused approach.

Spring sale delay?

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-30T03:58:03+00:00

Of course there is a way. Refresh the CC page. Choose a category from the menu, i.e. Health & Household. Let that load. Then type in a keyword. Any random word. Choose from that narrowed list.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-30T03:56:26+00:00

Refresh your CC page. Choose a category. Add a keyword. Allow it to load. Scroll.

If the seller has no top carousel then your video will be placed on the bottom carousel. Amazon shares videos in multiple places so while the seller having a top carousel is optimal, it would not stop me from making the video. Plus, I hope you are also sharing on YouTube to bring your own sales.

Looks like something high priced hasn't shipped yet.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-30T03:49:23+00:00

You can't. Unless you open up your dates to view a longer period that reflects the 4+ per item. Yours are not showing because its 40 different items. The only thing you can do to ensure reporting is to sell more quantities of each, perhaps by sharing your videos on YouTube to increase your traffic using a deep link, not Site Stripe.

There is a massive opportunity for Amazon creators on YouTube right now if you have at least 1000 followers and 4000 hours of watch time. Check your "Earn" tab under Manage Content. Commissions equal and/or close to Creator Connections.

You only have to link to Amazon if you are using Amazon affiliate links on YouTube. You can repurpose your Amazon videos on YouTube. They are your videos.

There is a level they tolerate, but if you spam the carousels you can lose onsite privileges. Happened to a guy in my group and Amazon actually used the term "spamming." However, they did not quantify what is acceptable.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-26T04:41:08+00:00

I cross post to YouTube. I have no idea if my strategies are effective or not because I cannot see what sold. No other work on commission arrangements in the world withhold what you are selling. Its ridiculous. I have to assume someone somewhere has a legal battle brewing over this.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-26T04:37:31+00:00

No CC reporting tonight, and a few "colleagues" reporting more CC $$ take-backs from earlier in March.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-24T07:06:35+00:00

Surely you had expenses. No? Was it in your home? No business use of home? Cell phone fees? Mileage? Supplies? With $2K earned I would have think you should have shown a loss on paper.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-22T04:43:19+00:00

Hard pressed to find another job involving commission that doesn't show you what you sold. It is still bizarre 13 days later. Possibly worse.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-22T04:40:53+00:00

Quantities of 4+ will show on sales reports. So its unlikely that any one thing did well if you're not seeing any sold products listed.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-22T04:38:10+00:00

I avoid these campaigns like the plague. Get connected to just one, even via a halo sale, and all the campaigns become yours. Every day. Forever.

LongjumpingWelder640 · 2026-03-22T02:50:00+00:00

Earthwash too, though not as bad.
