How I Make $2K/Month with Amazon Reviews

James Pelton here today. I am with Kyle from profitable product videos. Uh, again, had him on last week, have him on again this week. So he has been one of my most profitable passive income plays, which has been my done for you, Amazon review program. So we're going to talk through today, uh, how that's done for me. What exactly that is. Uh, we'll go through the info. If that's something you should consider as a income stream for yourself. Um, and then we'll talk about possible ways to fund it. So if you don't have a lot of capital sitting around, but you want to be involved in some of these things, we'll talk about ways, uh, for you to get involved in something like this, even if you don't have a lot of capital. Sitting on hand. So excited to do an update with Kyle, what I need from you in the audience. First thing, please hit the like button, the currency of YouTubers. Some people want dollars, but YouTubers just want likes. So please, uh, please do that. We've already got Keith on here. Need to speak to you soon, Kyle. So that's a, that's a good way to start off the video is, uh, already got some meetings set up. So it looks like my work's done here. So, uh, maybe we'll, uh, we'll just pop off now, now, but no, we'll, uh, please hit like, and if you have questions about these programs, please ask now. There's no such thing as dumb questions. The only bad questions are ones that aren't asked. If you have a question, probably other people do as well. Um, I feel like I'm repeating my teachers in school. Like that's all the things that they said. And, uh, that's, uh, we've gone full circle. So love it. Um, we got Keith here. We got Dane here. We got Jacques. I didn't pronounce that right, but we'll just say Jacques. I think I'm right about that. So good to see you guys. Um, let's go ahead and start. We'll do very quick intro. We've had you on many times. I think you're in my top five for most, most appearances on the channel. Um, but let's do quick intro. How did you end up here? And what's kind of your mission behind what you're looking to do? Uh, yeah. So thanks for having me back on. I know it hasn't been too long, but, um, yeah, so I've always known I wanted to do my own thing. Um, I, uh, got a degree in marketing, um, but then got into the Amazon game and about probably beginning of 2016. Um, just buying stuff in retail stores and then flipping it on Amazon for more. Um, and then just have bought and sold multiple Amazon businesses since then, and just got hooked, got my own, I had my own marketing agency. Uh, and then I've acquired a couple of other businesses since then as well. So just kind of serial entrepreneur, always looking for something good, something that, you know, can make passive income, something that to help other people, you know, make passive income too, and, and reach their goals as well. So, um, yeah, I just love helping people and love showing them a way forward. So, yeah, no, I love, and I love that about you, that you don't just keep, um, things to yourself, like when you come up with these ideas or you find these things that are working for you, um, you're always bringing them to me and saying, Hey, I've been doing this. It's been working really well. Just want to share with others. Do you want to talk for just a minute about what kind of motivates you on the, in the teaching direction? Why do you want to get other people involved? You just want to talk a little bit about your, your motivation behind that. Uh, yeah, I guess it's, it's always kind of been my dream to help others reach their, their goals. Right. And then help others kind of break out of the nine to five slavery is what I call it. And it's just the grind we all have to go through to pay the bills, right? Like there's so much more to life. There's there's financial freedom. There's time freedom. Like there's so much more to life, but you, you got to find the right people. You got to find people you can trust and you got to know what to do to get there. So, um, yeah, I've just always wanted to find that for myself, but also wanted to share it with others because it's a lot more fun when, when other people can join you, you know, you don't want to just be on an Island all by yourself. You want to, you want to have a big party and enjoy, enjoy the time together. Yeah, absolutely. There, there's a thrill when you get an income stream set up for yourself. Um, but there's an even bigger thrill when you're able to get as income stream set up for someone else. Um, that's what I found. Um, that's really the motivation. You know, I was, uh, kind of independently wealthy if you say, um, just through my, you know, my app I created and, but I created the YouTube channel because there's this whole new feeling of helping other people reach their goals. And I know you've discovered that. And so we're on the same page with that. Um, let's see, believe rental says, is this different from the Amazon store? How's the Amazon store doing? Yes, this is completely different from, uh, fulfilled by Amazon store. I'm doing that with motive automation that is doing very well. Um, that's a little tricky because you need a big credit line, um, to buy inventory for that one. So that's been a challenge is keeping my cards with enough balance on them. Um, but this is completely different. This is with Amazon reviews. So maybe Kyle, do you just want to walk us through, it's been a while since we've walked through, but just walk through kind of the business model that you have going, that's been working for you. Yeah. So it was probably 24 months, maybe more, maybe 30 months ago, I learned about a new Amazon program, um, that, so instead of selling physical products, you can just do product review videos and earn commissions when people watch the video and then buy within 24 hours. Um, and then when we saw how well it was doing, where I was like, you know, I can really help a lot of people with this and we have a pretty good system and process together to do it. So that's when I came to you and really I've only launched it to you and your community, uh, and it's kept us as busy or busier than we wanted to be. So, so I kind of, it's just kind of an inside thing with me and James, where this is, this is just something where we help your community find passive income, and this is something that's, that's worked for the past. Uh, I think you've done it since January of last year. So 18 months. Um, but yeah, it's, it's been going strong for, for people even before I started it. So it's, it's a little trickier than it used to be, but we're, we're finding more ways to, to make the numbers work and still, still make it make sense. Yeah. No love that. Do you want to maybe just kind of share a numbers wise, how it's going? Um, what challenges you've kind of run into and what, what kind of the future outlook looks like? I, that's a lot of questions in one, but, uh, I'll just throw that question grenade out there and then let you talk from it. Um, yeah, let me, let's see. Let me share my screen. That might be the easiest way. Present. We love visuals. Okay. I click all these buttons. Yeah. Right. Make sure you click the right one for the wrong screen. That would be embarrassing. Well, we got, uh, Andrew here. He says my wife and I signed up with Kyle about 18 months ago after your first video together now doing in the seven to eight pay a month range. So that's amazing. Doing, doing better than I am. So amazing, Andrew. I'm glad. Um, and I'm sure that, you know, that's life changing money for, for people. Um, so congrats. Yeah, that is awesome. I love, I love to see that. Love that. Um, um, can you see my screen? Yes. Maybe. Okay. So I just updated this. We had this, we probably made this like last December when we were, um, sharing with, with, uh, with the community back, you know, six months ago or so, seven months ago, um, but here's just a handful of people that started basically when James started, uh, 18 months ago when we first launched it. Um, so we can't share the official screenshots. Amazon, if they got wind of that, they would, they would not be happy. So, um, take that for what you will. Um, you know, if you want to see on, on a call, if you want to jump on a call and you want to see, you know, uh, dive into one of the accounts and just show you that the numbers are legit, we can, we can definitely do that, but account one is actually James's account. As long as he's okay with me sharing that, which I already did. I guess that's fine. No, no, no. So total you're at 34,967. Uh, and that's from basically it started earning last April. Um, and then it's just every month. It just keeps, keeps, uh, keeps paying out and we haven't, you know, we've kind of used up the budget that we had. We haven't uploaded videos probably since December, I would say maybe November. So it's been six, seven months. Um, but for November you made 4,500 December, you made 3,000. January was 2,000. February was 1,800. March is 2,000, April, 2,000, May 2,200. Uh, and June was 1,914. Um, so it just, it just keeps cranking, um, month after month. Uh, and as you can see, some accounts are doing better than James. Uh, some accounts are doing a little worse. Some are, you know, a little bit further behind that, but they, they just keep producing. That's, that's what makes it so passive. That's after we've kind of built the machine and got everything, uh, up and running smooth, like, yeah, it just, it just goes and then you add more videos and you, you can continue to, to keep, keep things, uh, growing. So, so that's kind of a little bit of results, not a ton, but didn't want to bore you with, you know, all that stuff. So just, that's just kind of what people have done since starting the program 18 months ago. Okay. Love that. Um, Keith wants to know why such a difference from account one to account eight, do you want to kind of talk about the factors that might go into profitability? So if you remember back eight, well, most people probably didn't see the first one we did, but when we first pitched it, we sold, uh, one of the done for you was 25,000, which is what James, uh, his account was. And one, and some of them were for 40,000. Um, so we had two different levels, uh, which just got you more videos, right? So some of the higher numbers, those typically are the, the higher accounts, the 40,000, they paid a higher investment, they got more videos. So they're seeing higher earnings per month. Okay. Nope. That makes a lot of sense. Um, let's see. Odin's blade says, if you have an approved Amazon associate account, would that be quicker transition transition to a done for you store? I wish, but it, so with the influencer program, it's separate from the Amazon associate. So when you get approved for the influencer, Amazon influencer program, it creates a brand new store and a brand new Amazon associate account. Um, so it actually can't be linked to it and it doesn't actually help. I wish it did. I wish it could speed it up, but the only thing that really can speed it up is if you already have like a TikTok account or Facebook or a YouTube account, also Instagram, those are the four that they accept. If you have an account that has at least a few hundred followers, we could potentially use that account to get in faster than us starting from scratch and growing it. Okay. Nope. I hope, hopefully that makes sense. Yeah. And Odin's blade. If you have any other questions, please let us know. We'll bring those up. Um, let's see, do you want to talk a little bit about what, uh, what challenges you're running into right now? What's kind of your outlook on this going forward? Do you feel pretty good about it? Do you feel good about these numbers? Do you think there'll be lower? Um, what's, uh, what's kind of your take on things? Yeah. So, so good question. So I'm feeling like it's definitely not as easy. It's more saturated than it was 18 months ago. We're like, just, just with that, everything and anything. Right. And we had big plans for, for TikTok, but they've, they kind of shut down the way we were doing things. We had a workaround method to get in and, and we're seeing good results, but they've kind of, they said, Oh, now you need 5,000 followers to get in. And you got to follow this, this specific, uh, way to do it. Uh, so it just became a lot less feasible and didn't make as much sense. Um, but we still have Amazon that once you get it built up, like it's, it's just going to be passive. Um, and, and when they do incentives every couple months, it seems like sometimes every six months, every year, they'll do a big incentive. Uh, and one last year, I don't know if you remember James, where we did the, this or that videos, but they paid. It was something like $25 a video. Um, and we made over 500 videos. I think for now we made 250 videos for most of our clients. Um, so I think most of them got like four to $5,000 just from the incentive, um, that Amazon does. So we're hoping they, they launched a couple more of those prime days, always a big bump. So we're hoping to see a nice bump over the next couple of days. Um, but the biggest thing is we've found a way to cut costs on our end so that we can make more videos, um, with the same budget, so we're able to do more with, with the same amount. Um, and just more, more videos should, you know, as long as Amazon shows the videos, like we plan and things go as planned, that should, you know, ramp up the numbers to where we think they can be and put you in a pretty good spot at, you know, 3000 a month or somewhere in that range. Okay. Awesome. I love that. Um, do you want to talk about, um, so you used to have a training course and then a done with you program and done for you program, do you want to talk about how those programs have changed and what's available for, for people who are watching right now, they're not involved, they're wanting to get involved, what's available right now? Yeah. So just for now, um, we're doing the done for you, uh, the done with you. We've, we've, you know, people, people come to us, we have the trainings, we'll, we'll help them out. Um, but it, it's not, uh, something we promote and we continue to run, but it's something where when you're a part of the program, if you ever have questions, you come to us, we support you and we help you get it built up on your own. Um, it just takes a bigger budget than most people, um, plan on to, to really get going once you kind of film everything in your house that makes sense, then you need to start branching out and you need to have some, some budget, you need to have some money to buy products, uh, and then make videos and then make, make money from that. So it makes sense, but it's, it just takes a little more budget than some people have. Um, but done for you, we still are offering that. Um, we have, there's actually only five spots left. Um, we don't want to take too, too many more on, but at least for this month and next month, we're going to have five more spots, um, and, um, and that way we can focus on, let's get them scaled up and ready for the holiday season, because that really is the biggest numbers and really like 10 X the volume of, of traffic and sales, just because that's when people go wild for the holidays. Okay. Yep. Got that. So for now, just the done for you program available. Um, and then, uh, I have the link to schedule a call there. I just put it in the chat. So you first, you schedule a call, get all your questions answered. Um, sometimes too, during the call, you might find out you're not a good fit for one reason or another. Um, so that that's, it's not a booking. A call does not mean you are committing to buying anything. Um, it's just to have a discussion, meet with Kyle, see if it's going to be a good fit for what you're doing. And what's the cost for that Kyle? So the cost for the done for you is 30,000. Um, so we've tried to not increase the price too much, but with the bigger budget, we can, we can do more and get more videos. So instead of a 25 and a 40, we just have the 30,000 and we, we, you know, max it out, scale it up as much as we can with this, as many videos as we're able to, to make within the budget. Okay. Yeah. So do you need any other funds beyond that 30 K what do you need? Because I know for our, like our, uh, done for you, Amazon store, um, it costs 30 K and you need 60 K in credit. Do you need anything beyond that 30 K for this? No. So the way that the contract works, if you, you know, for people that sign up, they have to sign a contract before they even pay. Um, so basically we work and we'll build the account up until we reach ROI. So until we reach 30,000, uh, in, in commissions earned for your account, we're going to do all the work. We're going to upload the videos. We're going to create the accounts. We're going to manage it and grow it and help it along for as long as it takes. If it takes 12 months. Awesome. And then it becomes like an 80 20 split, right? If it takes longer, it takes longer. If it takes less, it takes less, but typically it's anywhere between 12 and 18 months right now is what we're seeing for, you know, a good chunk of our clients, but, um, but the landscape changing, we're always looking for more ways to, to do it better and make, make, uh, the return faster, but it's somewhere in that range right now. Um, but, but yeah, it, it, uh, that's kind of where we're at. Okay. And then, uh, we, we talked about this. We did a video on this last week or a couple of weeks ago, but if people are wanting in and you think, oh, well, $30,000, I don't have two pennies to rub together right now. Um, you have an option to kind of help finance that. Do you want to just talk a little bit about that? Um, and then we'll, I'll leave a link to the full video too, that we did about that program, but you just want to talk a little bit about that option. Yeah, for sure. I know what was it a week, two weeks ago, we, we chatted about 0% funding to do passive income, uh, opportunities. Uh, but we didn't really go over this, you know, the program we do. So I wanted to go a little more in depth, but, but it is one of the options. So for 0% funding, we basically help you get 0% credit cards. Um, and it definitely helps. Well, you've got to be in the U S that's, that's kind of the main thing right now. It only works, uh, in the U S as far as getting the funding, but if you're out of the U S and you want to do the program and you have the funds, like we can, we can make it work for sure. Uh, but if you, if you want us to help you get, um, 0% funding, um, typically we charge $3,000 to get you anywhere between 50,000 and, uh, you know, up to 150,000, um, but if you are wanting to sign up for our program, we waive that fee and we just get you the funding, which then is used to, you know, by our program and then whatever else, if you have additional funds, you can use it for whatever as well, but, um, if you, if you sign up with us, you do the funding through us, then there's no additional fee. Okay. Amazing. So that could be a great option for people, um, again, and you can just schedule one call. You don't need to schedule the credit call. And then also the Amazon reviews, if it's something that you're interested in, you're like, Hey, I want to do this done for you, Amazon, you could potentially get it with 0% financing. Now, again, you want to be cautious and careful and don't put yourself in a situation where you're really in big trouble. Um, so you just want to be cautious, but you could be set up in a position where the profits from the program end up paying your, uh, bills that you have to make for the financing. So it could be a really good fit for people. Um, so again, I'm going to not financial advice. I'm not going to say do this. This is a slam dunk. This is a home run. Everybody should do this. Make sure it makes sense in your situation. Please don't come to me later. Say, Hey, I took out a, a fifth mortgage on my house and now Amazon shut down the program. And now I'm, I'm homeless. Can I stay with you? Yeah, we've, we've had to turn people away. We'll, we'll let you know if it's not a good fit. We don't want to put you in a bad financial position for sure. So yeah. And, and love that about Kyle. He's not out to just grab money. Um, he is out to really help people and help people with what he has done himself, and I'm sure we're going to have Kyle many more times. He's bringing me stuff all the time. So I love that. And please keep it up, Kyle. So, um, I feel like that pretty much covers it. So we have done for you Amazon program. Um, it's been making people me again. We haven't even uploaded a video to my account for quite a while and I'm still making two K two and a half K a month. Um, we have other people. Um, I know Odin's Odin's blade or somebody, somebody in the comments was talking about how they've been recording their own videos. I think it was Andrew or something. Yeah. Andrew. Soco. Yep. And he's been making seven to eight K a month and he's been recording his own videos, putting them up in there. Um, so it's an, it's still an amazing program. It's. You know, anytime Amazon puts out a new program like this, there's always changes and there's hurdles and you have to work with what they're wanting to do. Um, but that's where you have Kyle. I haven't lifted a finger to keep track of what's going on or anything like that. Kyle's team has took care of all of it. Um, and again, if the up front financing is a problem for you, there is a potentially a solution for that as well. So love it to kill two birds with one stone when you give Kyle a call. So that's right. That's right. So just something to be aware of the credit score, 680 and above is really what's going to give us the best chance, but anywhere from 650 and above, we could probably get to the 30 K mark. Um, so, but if you're trying to get more than 30 K, then, then the higher the credit score, the more we can do with it. So, um, but yeah, anybody that wants to jump on a call, we're happy to discuss and see if it makes sense, see if it's something that, uh, you know, we want to do together. Yeah, absolutely. And even if, if you have a low credit score and maybe just want some help on, Hey, how can I get that credit score up? So maybe I can do this in six months. Um, you know, if you are, if you're, uh, structured in what you're doing, it doesn't take that long, um, to raise your credit score, there's some things you can do to raise that pretty quickly. So if you're sitting at six 30. And you need about a six 50 to get into this hop on the call. And there's some ways you can, you know, pay off this debt over here. And you know, I, there's different ways that you can get that up pretty quickly. So, um, got a buy-in says, why would you need more than 30 K it's just, if you would want to use it for something else, so you only need 30 K for this program. But, you know, if you have access to 50 K that is interest-free, um, maybe I'm not even going to suggest what you do with the extra 20 K that's, that's risky business, but maybe you want to just buy some bonds, uh, with those, we'll say that I feel safe saying that, um, maybe you want to buy some Bitcoin or maybe you want to buy some Shiba Inu or yeah, there's a, there's a lot of things you can do with 20 K, um, some trading bots, uh, maybe, or something like that, but yeah, you only need the 30 K for this program, but if you have access to more, I know there's a lot of people who would take more if they have access to it. Um, let's see what would happen if Amazon drops the program is the 30 K spent immediately or some kind of type of a partial refund. That's a good question. So in the contract, um, if we don't earn you at least a thousand dollars within 12 months, then there's an 80% refund. Um, but you know, we have no control of Amazon or the program or how it works, but we have other avenues. If Amazon does shut down, we've got TikTok, we've got a Fiverr where people will send you the free product, but also pay you to make a video. So, you know, we can, we can build things up on Fiverr. There's a bunch of communities where it's influencer content that these brands want. So they'll pay you for a video and also give you the product for free. So, so that's some ways where it wouldn't be taking a ton of the budget where we can put a lot more resources, resources to those, if we are denied with, you know, Amazon, or we run into issues where they're, they're changing the program. We do have other avenues where we can grow and scale up and get, still get into a similar range of, uh, monthly earnings if we need to. Okay. Very good. Yeah. Kyle's always got new ideas, um, for different things, uh, that are, that are going on, so I'm fairly confident. Kyle's not just going to leave you hanging. If you pay 30 K Amazon shuts the program, which I don't think they're going to do because it's actually been really successful for them. Um, it's just a matter of how exactly it's going to work and what changes need to be made. Um, that's, that's the challenging part is, you know, they raise, Oh, instead of a thousand subscribers on TikTok, your followers on TikTok, you need 2,500. And so it's just, okay, well, we got to change this, this and this. Um, Amazon's going to keep massaging the program until they get it exactly how they want it to work. And then it'll probably be a perfect program for a while. Then it'll probably get oversaturated. This is what we saw with FBA, uh, fulfilled by Amazon. So, um, but there's still quite a bit. I think of water to squeeze out of the sponge that is Amazon reviews. So good question though. Odin's appreciate it. All right. Well, Kyle, do we got anything else? Do you feel, uh, we talked about everything. I don't have anything else. This was a good video. Good update video. Give any inspiring words for us. You're an inspiring guy for us. No pressure. Um, just gotta, gotta build that life one brick at a time and, you know, find, find people you trust. And, uh, and you know, one day at a time, you'll, you'll, you'll reach the just kind of focus on that goal and, and, uh, take one step at a time. So that's kind of my thing. It's not a get rich quick as much as I love that. Um, I just haven't found any that are actually legit, you know, crypto has a lot of, a lot of those that look amazing. And then next thing you know, they're pulling the rug after a couple of months. So, yep. Yep. Sounds like we've been on the same, uh, same road for a bit. Um, but yeah, there's a lot of things we've learned. If you can't figure out where the revenue comes from, be wary. And this, the red, where the revenue comes from is very clear. Amazon makes $1.6 billion a day and they found, Hey, sales really increase with these review videos. We want to, we want to, uh, what do you call it? Now we want to incentivize, there's the word. I was like, oh no, uh, missing the word. We want to incentivize people to do that. It helps us as a business. So it's very clear where the revenue is coming from. That's one thing I like it's not get rich quick. We're not saying put in 30 K and you're going to make 30 K tomorrow. Um, that would be red flag. So we know what red flags to look for. And, uh, this is a good one again, that doesn't ensure that you're going to be successful longterm. We're not promising that you're going to make 200 K over the next five years or anything like that. Um, but I'm a part of this program and it's worked very well for me. It's helped me out a lot financially. Um, I've had some liquidity issues as different funds get locked up in different places. And this is one of the programs that's been providing cashflow for me, um, to help, help pay my bills. So really appreciate it, Kyle. Um, thank you audience. You guys are amazing. Appreciate you guys going on these journeys. I'm going to, I will say this, I've said this in a lot of videos, but I'm going to emphasize it. Proverbs 14, 23 hard work brings profit mere talk leads only to poverty. So whether you get involved in this or any of it, you know, I do a video similar to this, like almost every day, there's a lot of opportunities out there. So I just want to encourage you to find one that, Hey, this looks interesting to me, this aligns with me ethically and you know, where my passions are and it looks like a good deal and then start taking some action. If you take no action tomorrow, you will be in the exact same boat you're in today. Uh, when there's no action, nothing happens. Okay. So, um, take some action. Um, and step one might just be hopping on a call with Kyle. And again, you might talk with him and then, you know, get cold feet and say, actually, I don't, I don't want to do this. Thanks for your time. Um, now don't too many people do that. Um, Kyle's Kyle's fine with that. He's wanting to talk with you guys and help you out. So awesome. Thanks audience. Thank you, Kyle. Appreciate you. And we'll see you again here soon. Okay. Sounds good. Enjoy your summer. God bless everyone. Take care.
