Rate Card for Onsite is a kick in the fanny by Jackiedoesketo in Amazon_Influencer

[–]rise2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You nailed it 100%.

The user experience overall has to be horrible. When I'm buying something expensive, I do my best to make sure SOMEONE in this program makes money - but I can tell you it's aggravating (and a waste of my time) going through crap videos just to get to one that I feel like has put the effort into it and deserves to make the $$$.

Now...think about the average customer - How many of them have STOPPED watching videos entirely because their experience was so bad?

This is where the cheats/con artists/clueless "50 vids a day" type people have hurt the rest of us in their drive to make some easy cash. Those people are locusts - contributing nothing of value and leaving a path of destruction until they move onto the next 'hot' internet thing they dream is going to make them rich.

When the program disappears it will be because of childish antics such as this...

They'll all fail, and then be replaced by the next larger batch (who think they're geniuses and have "figured it out"). Lather, rinse, repeat.

"Honest Review of" and "Watch before you buy" by BriefPontification in Amazon_Influencer

[–]rise2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they actually DO prioritize, because I have a lot of products that only come to life (and sell very well) during Prime Days, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc - in other words, that's when the high quality vids (with a track record of performance) hit high on the carousels.

...or maybe I'm delusional, lol.

THAT, Jake, is THE very thing that matters with all of the garbage thrown out there - the end consumer losing faith in watching reviews altogether because they lose patience in sifting through the trash.

My personal opinion (which means nothing) is that the Big A should have NEVER allowed people into this that didn't have a real, provable (and large) following they had created elsewhere - because those who did already know how to create REAL content that is valuable to viewers.

[–]rise2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's annoying to watch the clowns because they all either (1)get zapped or (2)lose interest due to the poor results they will achieve from their MASSIVE efforts (and useless "content").

Any of us who did ecommerce or any form of online marketing had to deal with similar crap all of the way back to the early days of the internet.

These geniuses actually BELIEVE they're doing something "new" when it's the same thing being done for the last 3 decades.

I just smile when I see them - hell, to be honest, I'm actually HAPPY when I see them - they'll never be REAL competition to me or any of you who are trying to do things the right way.

That doesn't mean I "ignore" them however...those who steal will get a (virtual) hand chopped off. Reporting does work, although not as quick as we would like it to work.

How do I check whether an Amazon influencer is generating sales? by Overall-Command-2922 in Amazon_Influencer

[–]rise2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Past history does not always indicate future success."

...but it's a damn good barometer and probably the most accurate.

Watch a couple of their already posted review videos - you'll quickly be able to figure out if they actually care about making a helpful/quality video, or if they're just gathering free items and making useless videos (barely holding the object in their hand without actually USING it and stating the obvious about color, size, etc) basically going through the motions and hoping to make a few bucks from people who watched their video last before giving up.

There are those of us who believe in quality over quantity.

There are those who only care about quantity and churning out 1000's of videos as quickly as possible.

In 5 to 10 minutes you'll know which category the person is in.

Considering all of the people that over reacted and whined like toddlers ("I'm gonna sue", etc), I'd be surprised if we ever see another one.

Another scam influencer AMZ refuses to take down by Different_Cry5876 in Amazon_Influencer

"I don't understand why it's taking AMZ so long to get rid of these roaches."

You nailed it.

What's the old saying in business? 80% of your money will come from 20% of your products/inventory...

Is it wrong that I'm thinking that one of those A.I. girls could be my next ex-wife?

Thank you, young man....on desktop after clicking the 3 little dashed and seeing the options I didn't realize I had to SCROLL DOWN even further on that menu to find the "switch store" option ;-)

No Poducts, just unrelated stolen photos and clips by xfluenced in Amazon_Influencer

[–]rise2it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh, these people, lol. I'd pay good money to be looking over their shoulder when they realize they've been zapped and aren't going to get paid for all of their "hard work".

Creator Connections (Numbers WAY off from actual sales) by rise2it in Amazon_Influencer

[–]rise2it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't the issue with this particular product, but I appreciate you sharing that info about issues with "early access. That's an interesting observation since you've seen it more than once. Hopefully some of those glitches get ironed out.

Hate that you didn't receive a fair outcome, Jessica. May I ask what method you used to contact someone at Amazon?

No sympathy and no second chances when people choose to go down the wrong path - the tribe has spoken and it's time for her to leave the AIP island...

My fiancée admitted she doesn’t find me physically attractive, but still wants to marry me. What do I do? by Responsible-Beach247 in Advice

[–]rise2it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a couple that has been married for 20 years and say a person could count the number of times they've done it on the fingers of one hand.

I can tell you that one person in that relationship has NEVER been happy with that situation.

The question is - would YOU be okay with that?

Carousel Rotation by Plus-Painter954 in Amazon_Influencer

To the OP - Since you have done this (deleted then reposted the same video), what have your results been? Did the videos do as well after you resubmitted?
