In today's video I'm going to talk about a new passive income stream that I'm working on. It is called the Amazon Influencer Program! I have been making some steady passive income with this new stream. Watch the video to find out if I can make $5,000 per month passively and how you can do it too?

James Pelton and guest Kyle discuss leveraging the Amazon Influencer program to generate passive income through product review videos. They present three distinct entry paths: a high-end managed service, a coaching program, and a crowdsourced NFT model, all aimed at helping individuals escape the traditional nine-to-five grind by earning commissions on product sales.
Hey, James Pelton here.
I hope you had a wonderful week.
We are on at Friday, which I remember, you know, when you work
a nine-to-five Friday is like, yeah, it's the end of the week
ready for the weekend.
But I will say when you're able to quit your nine-to-five,
you're able to get passive income or other things side
hustles, whatever the case might be to replace your nine-to-five.
You don't have that attitude anymore.
You're each day kind of Saturday is about the same for me as
any other day.
Sunday is a little different because I go to church and stuff
like that, but it's not the weekend.
I look forward to I kind of most of the time depending on how
the markets are doing.
I look forward to each and every day.
So that's what we're wanting for people.
That's one of the big passions.
I have for my channel.
This is Kyle.
I've had Kyle on before to talk about the Amazon reviews program,
or so we're going to walk through that just a little bit and
sneak peek.
I do want to let you guys know.
I did spin up an NFT collection for this one.
So I know I hope you're not getting overwhelmed with NFT
collections.
My plan is I just want to have a bunch of options out there for
people who want to make passive income and hopefully they're
ones that have done well for me personally, so I can kind of
vouch for him.
Say, hey, this is making me I can vouch for this one.
It's been making me $1,000 a month so far.
And again, I think we'll continue to ramp up, but we'll talk
through how all this works.
If you want an NFT, if you have feedback on, you know, what
what you'd like to see in the in the NFT and things like that.
We'll talk through all of that here today.
Please hit the like button as we're going if you have any
comments questions, whatever the case might be.
Let me know.
I'll bring those comments up one further thing before I bring
on Kyle here and we'll start talking through this.
We're going to we rework the last NFT collection.
We did was for the Amazon Empires, which is basically funding
an Amazon store for a friend of mine.
We're going to rework the numbers on that a little bit.
I think the numbers were too low for people to be that excited
because we are coming from kind of a DeFi crypto degen space.
I understand that you can't offer, you know, 20% a year and
get people super excited.
So we're going to rework the numbers a little bit.
See what we can come up with for that.
So, but let's go ahead and talk about this Kyle.
Welcome to the channel.
Glad to have you back.
Could you start us out quick introduction of yourself and maybe
a little bit how you found your way to this and then we'll talk
through what the Amazon influencer reviews thing is.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Well, it's great to be back.
Good to be chatting with you again James.
And yeah, just to give you a little bit about myself.
I've been selling on Amazon for I guess it was March of 2016.
So over seven years now, it's been a while and I've just I've
done a little bit of everything.
I've done retail arbitrage where you like go to Walmart, you
find stuff priced low there and you sell it high on Amazon.
You make the difference.
I've done wholesale.
I've done private label where I, you know, you create your own
brand and sell your own products, stick your own brand on a
product.
So I've dabbled in a little bit of everything and learned some
of the tips and the tricks over the years.
But about nine, probably nine to ten months ago.
I learned about the influencer program.
So it's a fairly new Amazon program where instead of selling
physical products, you can make product review videos and from
those when people watch your video and then they buy within
24 hours, you earn the commission.
So once I saw that and saw the potential of it, then I knew
that I wanted to teach other people how to do it, how to show
other people be successful with it and then also do it for
clients of ours as well.
Okay, very cool.
Yeah, and it's been again.
I've been in it for I'll just show you guys my numbers that
that we've been getting so far.
So and again, this is the type of thing that has to ramp up
over time because basically what the process I went through
was I didn't use my YouTube account because you could just
come as an influencer and start that way.
But I did the done for you program with Kyle.
He started me with a fresh tick-tock account.
I had zero followers zero.
I didn't even have an account and he created the account.
He started putting up some inspirational videos and thing,
you know, inspirational tick-tocks and things like that started
getting followers and eventually we got to the point where we
could be accepted on Amazon as an influencer and then his team
has gone through and it wasn't on my end.
It really wasn't that much work to get started way less work
than when I do my have done my done for you Amazon stores.
That's been a much more tedious longer process.
This was pretty painless is mainly just coordinating emails
and passwords and things like that.
But then his team started recording reviews for these different
videos and I think how many have you guys recorded for me so
far?
It's been a lot, right?
Yeah, I think we're close.
I think we're around 200 maybe a little over 200 now.
Okay.
So again, if this was something I was going to do on my own,
It would take a significant amount of effort and time to get this
set up and even you know, the research of which products should
you do all those types of things are things that I just I wouldn't
know off the top of my head.
So I'd have to go figure that out somehow.
It's something his team all takes care of.
So they have uploaded these videos and then I've been making you
know, like 35 40 25 75 some days, you know, 67 that day 61 that
day.
So it's it's varied.
Let's see.
Can I do just all time?
So I think I started in mid-April was when it kind of started and
then you can see it kind of takes a while to ramp up as you get
more review videos put out there and things like that.
That's been my earning so far.
So it may made about 965 June.
I've made 185 already and then I we kind of anticipated continuing
to ramp up.
Is that you kind of see like a plateau point or how long do you
think it'll ramp up to what the max it'll be or tell us what you
kind of seen as the the future of a store like mine.
Yeah, it typically takes around, you know, once we're actually
approved and go and it typically takes about six months, but it
really depends account to account right different products have
different shelf lives, but especially once we get into fourth
quarter, that's going to be a nice nice bump.
So definitely looking forward to around Christmas time, you know,
with everything we built up and and growing we should see really
good really strong numbers once we get there.
Okay, very good.
Yeah, I've been really really happy with it again.
I get pitched a lot of different things and I get into a lot of
different things and it's pretty rare for something to just kind
of go as was advertised.
Honestly, it's sad to say that but it's kind of gone as advertised
and again, I have 2300 bucks so far that have come just from this
and it hasn't been passive on my side.
So when we talk about options for getting people getting started
again, just correct me if I'm wrong.
I like having you here in case I mess up or say something that's
not actually true, but really the the options that you have is
they offer a done with you program.
So that's kind of a training course slash coaching where they'll
walk you through.
Hey, here's how you find.
Here's how you get your stuff set up.
Here's how you get your your TikTok accounts, you know, to the
point it needs to be.
Here's how you get your Amazon stuff started.
Here's how you find the products.
Here's the best type of videos to upload things like that.
So it's going to be a significant time.
How much time would you say someone on average would need to invest
and if they're willing to do more time, is that going to see are
you going to see better results from that or kind of talk about
the time commitment on the done with you option?
Yeah, it depends person to person because you know one person
who's very like perfectionist will will take like an hour to create
a really nice video and another person will just like create a
assembly line and they'll just have the products lined up and
they can get 510 done in an hour.
So it depends person to person.
But if you can do five an hour, you can you can you can do it in
an hour a day and then grow up and then scale things pretty pretty
well.
So it doesn't have to take a lot of time, but the learning curve,
you know, it does take a few weeks to to to get that learning
curve to figure out all the information and to get things rolling.
But really it's it's just a skill once you learn it then then
there's a lot you can do with it to you can you can turn it into
all sorts of different income streams as well.
But but yeah, it it it averages probably an hour to two a day
and what's become more important the longer we've been doing it
is making sure you're picking the right products like you were
saying earlier and that's kind of the main thing we focus on and
and something we specialize in we've actually just created a
software called Fluencer Pro that we give free to our done with
you clients so that they can save themselves a ton of time as far
as the product research product selection goes.
Okay, very cool.
I love that.
I love that you're developing tools to help this, you know, go
even better because I think this is an area there's a ton of done
for you Amazon stores and things like that.
I've not seen a ton of these that done for you.
So I'm sure eventually this might get more saturated over time,
you know, as more people get in.
I don't do you have a thought on the future of it or how long you
think before that'll start to happen or I know we've seen Amazon
already make changes trying kind of tweaking the program things
like that.
What are your thoughts on the longevity and the future of this
program?
So the one thing that definitely makes us think that it's it's
definitely long-term plans for Amazon is and and other companies
is Walmart.
They're just doing their beta program.
That's the exact same thing and then targets opening theirs.
So there's a lot more opportunities on other marketplaces as well.
Once you have like a big list of videos, once you're approved,
once they fully launch their programs, you can just dump all your
videos on these other platforms and and you know, grow multiple
income streams that way.
So that's one reason I see it trending up but it like what they
ever anything it does get more saturated and that's where product
selection and and kind of no one what to look for and what to focus
on is going to set people apart moving forward.
Okay, very good.
We got a couple people Davis.
I think has signed up with you guys loving Kyle and team a little slow
to start with you have that ramp up and that startup is always the kind
of the pain point, but they're uploading videos and slowly and
steadily building my passive income.
So good to hear that from Davis and RX Rob.
I signed up for this about two to three weeks ago got approval from
Amazon super excited that we are ramping up.
So it's cool to see some of my other done for you programs.
I've been in I've not had the best result with the best results from
my from my audience and from my community.
They come to me and say hey we sign up for this done for you and it's
not been a good experience for us.
So I'm glad to hear that my community so far has been having good
experience with you Kyle.
Everybody says they like you and like working with your team.
So that's amazing.
Yeah, there's some great people were working with so we're definitely
excited to work with people in your community.
They've been great people to work with awesome.
Well, thank you community for for not letting me down appreciate it.
How much is the done with you?
So the best way if you want to get started with the done with you again,
I'll talk about all the different options the done with you you can
schedule a call and I'll leave a link how much is the done with you
program again?
You'll have to remind me it's $4,000.
Okay, so 4,000 they give you a lot of support through it.
You can just schedule a call.
I posted that link and again, they want to talk with you and make sure
that everything's going to be a good fit and all that.
I actually appreciate that that they don't just send you straight to an
order form and just say yes, certainly it'll it'll work for you.
It's a good fit for you, but they want you to schedule this so that's
one option and then can you talk a little bit about the done for you
option?
Are you do you have any more?
I know you were kind of you're limited on number of spots that you can
do for that.
But that's that's what Mr.
Rain on is asking about right now.
How much to get in if they do all the work tell us a little bit about
the done for you program.
Yeah done for you.
We do have a few spots like three or four.
We can handle for the upcoming month.
Maybe maybe five but we do have a few openings but done for you is
$25,000 and our goal is to ramp up and get to $5,000 a month with
those accounts and that's what we focus on.
Okay, so 25k to do the done for you program.
And again, the goal is to ramp you up to 5k a month.
So again, I'm kind of on on the way there.
If you look at look at my numbers and so when me and Kyle were talking
we're talking about 25k and I understand most people if you're
watching this right now, most people do not just have 25k sitting
around where it's like, oh, this would be I've been looking for
something to do with $25,000.
Maybe this is it and so as you guys know what I've been doing with
some of these types of projects where it's like, hey, this could be
some great income for people, but they might not have the 25k to do
a full option like that.
That's where we've started some of these NFT collections.
So that immediately came to mind when I was talking to Kyle was like
what if we did one of these NFT collections where it's essentially
We're just crowdsourcing this 25k where you can get in at $500 a
piece and it's going to be the same as all my other mints.
It's going to be up on Polygon USDC.
You can kind of see there's the NFT Tyco.
Shout out to him for putting together the NFT.
I think he used mid journey.
We may add the option to mint with credit card.
I just kind of want to see how this initial mint goes.
See if you guys are interested.
I'm going to do a recorded video.
See if my general audience is interested.
I may add a mint with credit card, but I just kind of want to do this
test run and if it goes really well and how I plan to do this is we
would go ahead and mint out get it set up.
I'll do that setup worker or me or Tyco or somebody on my team will
get that initial setup and then we'll just airdrop a direct split of
how much is made each month.
So again, if we have if we end up minting, you know 50, then we would
just divide like this month.
I divide a thousand by 50 and just airdrop that out.
And if we get up to 5,000, then I would just airdrop out a hundred
bucks per wallet and we'd call it good.
So 500 bucks to get in basically just a way to crowdsource this whole
thing.
So again, I'll leave that link if anybody's interested in that or if
you're not interested, let me know to some of my NFT ideas.
People haven't been as interested in and it's good to get that feedback.
That's why we're kind of doing this initial launch and we'll kind of
see how it goes and then we'll kind of go from there.
Question from Malachi.
Does the done for you have a monthly maintenance cost?
So there is no maintenance cost.
But once we do get to the $5,000 a month and we maintain that for
three months from then, like once, once we basically broken even kind
of giving you a return on your investment, then we discuss what it
would look like to have us continue to manage it month to month from
there.
Okay.
Yeah.
And Kyle's team is I'll say Kyle very stand-up guy and very easy to
work with team.
And again, understand to that this whole business is kind of in its
infancy as well.
Like this is new and they're kind of working through.
Hey, what's the best way to structure this?
And what's the best way, you know, you got to make sure that you guys
make money and got to make sure that Kyle and his team make money as
well.
So, but yeah, I think that seems totally fair is there's no monthly
fee or anything until you kind of get to that break-even part where
it's like, okay, we got our 25k back.
Now, let's work out going forward how much you're going to want to do
going forward.
So I think that's very reasonable and I really appreciate that about
Kyle and his team.
Just Billy willing to work with people and make things happen.
So, all right, very, very exciting.
I'm also want to welcome every vlog.
Thank you for joining my community.
Appreciate it.
Again, really enjoy my community again.
I see Tim and RX Rob and Davis and funny turtle all part of my paid
community where we really dive into things like this and put together
ideas of like, hey, what would be a good idea to add to our portfolios?
Let's see.
The mint button is isn't showing up on the site says the connection
was reset.
Well, let me I'll take a look at that again.
My team just threw this together, but I'll make sure I'll make sure the
mint is working.
Okay, and make sure that you're on polygon and that you have some
It looks like it's working okay for me, but let's let's talk hop into
discord and we'll talk about this afterwards, but it looks like it's
working for me.
So, but I'll double check and see if we can figure out why yours might
not be working.
But if you're having trouble minting, yeah, hop in my telegram, hop in
my discord, shoot me an email.
We'll get you set up.
I'd like to at least get these initial 50 minted out so we can get one
batch of this going and then we can kind of see I can work with again
with Kyle and his team and see, hey, is this something we want to do?
You know, a batch a month or something like that.
I would love that for just just for it to be a part of people's portfolio
passive income.
Love the positive some game opportunities where everyone can make
money.
Yes.
Yep.
Absolutely me as well.
So awesome.
Well, hey, that's that's pretty much all that I have.
I just wanted to get people on to this Amazon reviews NFT Amazon reviews
nft.com again.
I hope you appreciate my engineer naming.
That's how I name things is just what is it Amazon review entity.
I'll make sure the mints working.
Okay, Kyle.
Do you have anything else that you want to add or include?
No, I think we covered most everything.
It's definitely not a rich quick or anything.
And like you've showed it's it's a steady slow and steady climb, but
Yeah, it's something that that there's lots of potential with and as we get
better and better at what we're doing on our end.
I think we can you can see better results going forward, but appreciate
your faith in us and all your community does to support us.
But yes, it's been positive.
It's it's everything's all all the people in your community that have
joined with us.
They're all on-site approved.
We haven't had issues getting people accepted into the program and making
money.
So yeah, it's it's been a good learning journey for everyone involved.
But yeah, I think it's a it's a great opportunity and if people want to
make passive income, it's a pretty low-cost play to to just start doing
a little bit of dabbling in that.
So yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And I think you're totally right.
I think even as you get more people on and you find more of the products
that are working well and things like that, I think your team will get even
better at it and be able to speed up the process of getting started and
things like that and be able to you know, get better get better products
that get more views and things like that.
So I anticipate that as time goes on you'll get even better at it.
So I'm really excited to see just the ramp up and like you said when we get
to the holidays, you know when there's crazy crazy time summers are really
the lowest times for e-commerce spending.
But yeah, I'm excited to see where things go.
So I'd love to be part of your journey as you're kind of building this
business up.
So thank you for letting me be a part of that.
Yeah.
Thanks.
And thanks for everybody listening and you have questions feel free to to
jump on a call.
We're happy to answer any questions you guys have awesome.
All right, so final calls to action again marketer like like calls to
action number one if you're interested if you don't want to do the nft
thing you're like, hey, I want to do this on my own done with you program
$4,000 done for you program $25,000 either way.
You will just schedule a call.
There's the link in the comments schedule a call and just talk with Kyle
again.
He'll make sure you know, are you sure you want to do this?
Here's the amount of work.
It's going to be on your end and work through that.
So this is a non non you're not agreeing by scheduling a call.
You're not saying I'm for sure going to buy anything.
Okay, that's what I'm trying to say a no pressure call just to get questions
answered and make sure it's going to be a good fit for you.
So that'd be number one you want done with you or done for you program
schedule a call if you want to do the nft it's Amazon reviews nft.com again
right when we're done here.
I'll make sure the mints working for everybody and everything like that.
And again, if you have questions hopping telegram discord shoot me an
email, but those are really the ways to get involved in it, you know, and
there's no rush to all keep you guys updated on my journey as it goes, you
know each month you see my monthly numbers and this will be a part of it.
So again, if you want to wait a couple months and just see okay, let's see
how July goes and let's see how August goes.
That's totally fine.
This is not a high pressure.
This is not like a lot of the, you know, a lot of the Ponzi crypto stuff.
We get into is getting early or else you don't get in at all and I'm I'm
wanting and I hope this is one of those that is not like that where this
is.
No, we can get in, you know, wait a year and it's still going strong after
that amount of time.
So awesome.
Well, hey, we'll wrap up there.
I think this is the shortest AMA ever, but I actually like that, you know,
when people actually gets more views when you have shorter videos people
don't want to watch hour-long things, but I want to thank audience.
Thank you guys for being here.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for putting up with me and all my crazy endeavors that I do really
appreciate you guys and your support and your feedback and all those
things and Kyle.
I want to thank you specifically for treating my community well and for
providing something that is right now providing some good money for people.
So thank you so much for that and coming on the channel and talking with
us about it.
Yeah, thanks for letting me hop on and chat with you guys today.
So everybody have a good happy 4th of July.
Yes, everyone be safe and we will talk to you later.
