Amazon Influencer Program was first released for only a few selected big social media accounts. But later when the e-commerce giant saw the impact of influencers on their followers, they make it open for influencers with a small following. The aim of the Amazon Influencer Program is also to help creators, artists, publishers to earn a referral commission from Amazon.
Amazon has already paid hundreds of millions of dollars to its partners like influencers and bloggers (anyone who makes content whether in text or video format). To be eligible for Amazon Influencer Program is not that easy as it requires a minimum number of followers. If you are a blogger and you do not have enough followers on social media don't worry, There is Amazon affiliate Program for bloggers which I am using on Techsearchonline.com.
There may be a question in your mind "What are the Qualifications needed to become an Amazon Influencer Program partner?"
The answer to it varies with different social media accounts. Let me go briefly with each social media platforms that Amazon presently accepts applications and these are YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

- Youtube is the best as an influencer marketing platform. It has high conversion rates. But the hard part is that YouTube is not easy to maintain as other influencer marketing platforms. To create a video you need many pieces of equipment from a camera to light. Again there is a time requirement on editing and scripting videos. Only a few influencers survive on YouTube which means less competition and more chances of loyal genuine influencers. Amazon Influencer Program accepts your application as soon as you qualify the minimum number of subscribers.
