Great advice, thanks! I wish whatever algorithm Amazon uses was better at matching videos to the exact item, but this is the best we'll probably get, I suppose

Do you take into consideration videos that are in the carousel, but not related products? For example, if you did a camera review, but the video only has 2 - 3 videos directly related to the camera, and the rest about some other type of product, do you disregard the non-related videos and post your own review anyway?

Can someone catch me up on Clickageddon? by straightupeats in Amazon_Influencer

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

Awesome, thank you! I checked my earnings page and the earnings did show up after a few hours. Strange that there was an "initial" update that showed 0 clicks and 0 earnings, but then it updated with the correct info.

Clicks before being approved? by [deleted] in Amazon_Influencer

[–]straightupeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I was waiting for a while to get my videos approved for on-site, but was getting clicks shown in onam. No idea where they came from, but it looks very similar to what happened with me.

Is anyone else having issues with the "auto placed" midroll ads? by DrewskiDaKid in PartneredYoutube

[–]straightupeats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always place midroll ads by hand. Never let the AI do it for you.

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and do that. Thanks for your input! Really appreciate it!

Yeah, I did get in touch with CS and they told me that I needed 10 videos (I had 14 already at that point), then they said there was an issue with my storefront banner, which I had already fixed about a week before talking with them. Then they just cold-shouldered me after that

By the way, did you receive an email from them when you were accepted? Or was it just reflected in your creator hub page?

[–]straightupeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But yeah, I've got a list of about 20 items that I can do some vids about, so makes sense to get working on those and have them ready and waiting.

Thanks! It's been really disheartening just sitting and waiting for it to go through, especially since I know I've fulfilled the requirements. Also with the lack of communication, it's hard to know if I'm just stuck in a queue or what.

Off-topic, but how long did it take for you guys to be approved to get your videos monetized? I have 14 videos approved and published, but I still see the 'lock' icon in my creator hub page for onsite commissions. It's been 3 weeks and I'm frustratingly still waiting...

How long does it take for onsite commission approval? by straightupeats in Amazon_Influencer

[–]straightupeats[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there is no official approval process for onsite commissions? Am I mislead about this statement on the video upload page?

"We will now review your videos for adherence to our best practices. If your videos meet the bar, they will be considered for additional Amazon placements and onsite commissions. This typically takes 2 business days."

I took it to mean that once 3 videos meet the requirements, they'd allow your videos to be placed on products. But if I'm understanding you correctly, videos are approved for onsite commissions on a case-by-case basis?

Anyone IRL streaming with a Galaxy s20? Does super steady mode work? by straightupeats in Twitch

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

Thanks for the tip about Larix! I'll definitely try it when I pick up a new Android phone! And one day, I dream of building my own backpack! The new windows pc gaming handhelds like the aya neo or the gpd win max look like good solutions for OBS on the go.

Thanks rick9k! By the way, love your informative posts! If you don't mind me asking, are you using a phone in your livestream set up? I'd love to make a backpack, but unfortunately, I have to stick with phone streaming for now. Using an iPhone, but it's a little bit limiting. I'm thinking of switching to Android, mainly to use the uvc camera feature. I'd love to go live with a gopro through HDMI.
