Are you trying to join the online retail space? Amazon, the largest online marketplace should be your first port of call. If you have toyed with the idea of selling…

Use Amazon’s Product Opportunity Explorer to investigate niche demand and customer needs; use ZonBase to build and check a product and keyword shortlist. They can complement each other, but a niche search figure and a single-product sales estimate measure different things and cannot predict your own sales.

Use ZonBase’s Zon Grading to narrow a supplier price list; use SellerAmp for a detailed check of an individual product, including offers, eligibility alerts and price history. Compare the tools on the same small supplier sample before choosing a subscription.

Most creators earn their first $100 month with 30 to 60 Amazon review videos live on products that have real page traffic, usually between month two and month four. Creators who review random household items often need 100 or more videos to reach the same $100, because most of those products get too few views to sell.

The highest-paying Amazon categories for video creators are Luxury Beauty at 10%, Amazon Games at 20% but with few reviewable products, then Physical Books, Kitchen and Automotive at 4.5%, Apparel, Jewelry, Luggage and Watches at 4%, and Home, Furniture, Toys, Pets, Sports, Tools and Beauty at 3%.

For a beginner with no audience, the Amazon Influencer Program pays more, because its onsite videos earn commissions from shoppers already on Amazon product pages.

Yes. Amazon product videos can become a real side income in 2026 for people who publish consistently and choose products with demand. A realistic path is $0 to $100 a month in the first two months, $500 to $1,500 a month by month six with 100 to 200 videos live, and $1,500 to $3,000 a month by the end of year one.

Most people who review Amazon products through the Amazon Influencer Program earn between $0 and $100 in their first month, $300 to $1,500 a month once they have 100 to 200 videos live, and $1,500 to $3,000 or more a month with 400 to 500 videos on products with real demand.

Creators get paid for Amazon product review videos through commissions, not per view. When a shopper watches your video on an Amazon product page or storefront and buys the featured product, Amazon pays you a percentage of the sale, typically 1% to 5% for onsite videos.
