Full write-up & sources
More detail: He joined Amazon Associates, then the Amazon Influencer Program for a storefront, and later began going live on Amazon once or twice a week. He sticks to home, kitchen and tech.
Results: He said 80% of his six-figure yearly creator income comes from Amazon commissions (about 1% to 20% per sale, depending on the product) and the rest from brand deals. Business Insider says it checked his revenue documents. That income let him quit his job as a senior director in early 2023.
Worth knowing: His own advice is to use products before recommending them and to watch Amazon's reports to see what sells.
