# Amazon Onsite Video Commissions

> Earn affiliate commissions by uploading short product review videos directly to Amazon.

This side-hustle strategy uses the Amazon Influencer Program's onsite commissions feature. By uploading short review or demonstration videos of household items directly to product listings, you earn a commission whenever a buyer watches your video before purchasing.

## How it works

1. Find items you already own around your house (e.g., toys, kitchen items, tools, gadgets).
2. Search for each item on Amazon to ensure the listing is active, sells regularly, and features a video section.
3. Use your smartphone to film a 1-to-2 minute review or demonstration of how the product works (showing your face is optional).
4. Upload the video to your storefront through the Amazon Influencer Program so it can appear in the 'Videos for this product' carousel.
5. Earn an onsite commission whenever an Amazon shopper watches your review video and completes a purchase.

## What it is for

- Monetize everyday household items you already own
- Generate passive affiliate income without driving external traffic
- Produce product demonstration videos without showing your face

## Key points

- Audit household items to find matching active listings on Amazon
- Record 1 to 2 minute practical product demonstrations or reviews
- Upload video reviews to your Amazon storefront for onsite placement
- Display review videos inside the listing's 'Videos for this product' carousel
- Earn commissions automatically when shoppers watch the video and buy
