    1. Oh, I had a question on the KDP side, my low content books once approved & go live aren’t displaying the splits of front & back cover. Amazon told me low content books it won’t and I would need an ISBN. When you did the full tutorial on the “recipe” book you had put the copy of one internal page of the book on your back cover did yours have the split showing once it went live? Or is this something new you know of?

    2. @ddisblessed6761Just another income stream to add to your portfolio! Yes, this is something they seem to have changed for low content books. I’m not sure if it’s a change because of them wanting to show the ISBN for medium and high content, and not needing to for low content, but I’m seeing the same thing. Being only for low content books, I haven’t been worrying about it on this end.

    3. ​@GregGottfriedQuick question. If someone clicks on mulitple videos and then buys the product, who gets the commission?

  2. As someone who cannot afford your Affiliate Master Class at the moment, I was happy to see this pop up in my subscription feed.

    1. Glad to hear that! The Masterclass focuses more on the long form review videos too. These shorts and on-site review videos are ‘easier’ to do in comparison. As always, any questions just let me know 👍👍

    2. @GregGottfriedOh, this is about the influencer program? I actually joined that from another program I bought a while back, from someone I know from years ago. Haven’t been approved for on site commissions yet though, as life got busy.

    3. @ShaunRFYou’ll see both associates and influencer program explained in this tutorial so you can still do the associates strategies with the long/short videos if you’re not in the influencer program. Video should help explain 👍👍

    4. @ShaunRFThe Masterclass uses the associates program because everyone gets accepted to it straight away.

    5. @GregGottfriedWould you say the master class still has value for someone with some experience with Amazon affiliate and content creation/youtube experience? Or is more valuable for complete beginners?

  3. Thanks for the advice Greg. I’m new to the channel and have subscribed!

  4. I was just accepted into the Amazon Influencer Program today. I was so excited and then immediately overwhelmed. This video quieted all the overwhelm. Thank you for the step by step, easy to understand video than makes this look so do-able.

  5. Thanks so much for this video. Its been very helpful in getting me started. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

  6. Hi Greg I first came across your channel back in 2020 and it gave me an interest in Affiliate Marketing but I could not do anything that time. But now I came across your video again and I started Affiliate Marketing last month and I made 4 sales in a month and a small Commission, I haven’t had my first payout yet but seeing how this works and seeing the result has given me hope, I have decided to keep pushing and I believe in a year I will be in a better place than now, Thank you for inspiring and guiding people like me.

  7. I just got accepted into the influencers program and this video has been supper helpful that I just subscribed to you. I feel less overwhelmed, but I’m still confused on how to put my amazon storefront on my TikTok page and how to create the idea list.

  8. Thanks for the information the video really cleared up almost all of my questions.

  9. This looks like a fantastic starting point for beginners! Focusing on practical tips can really help those eager to dive into affiliate marketing. Wishing everyone success on their journey!
