Full write-up & sources
More detail: Instead of building a big social following, she filmed simple one-minute product reviews on her phone, with no editing, and uploaded them to Amazon, where they can show up on product pages. She posted 225 videos in her first two months, mostly home products, including items at an Airbnb and in a family member's new house.
Results: She ended 2023 at $67,000. Business Insider says it viewed her commission payout records. She has since posted 898 videos and now also sells a course on the program.
Worth knowing: Volume is the lever, and income swings with seasons and Amazon's own changes.
