As I tell you about the Oink Influencer Tool Kit and why I think it is so valuable let me tell you what it has done for my productivity. I have been an Amazon Associate since 2008 and Amazon Influencer since 2021 the amount of content I have done is has exceeded 10,000+ videos and over 12k products covered within this time frame. I have been tracking everything in Google Sheets and/or Excel Spreadsheets 1 line item at a time for over a decade. Every product, product page, video created and link to it…etc. Everything, this amount of tracking was necessary for me to quickly find any piece of content I covered for any product in case I needed it.

When Amazon release Creator Connections it was one of the best programs to come out of Amazon and with over 200,000+ campaigns now listed on Creator Connections and hundreds of brands I was able to take advantage of this program to leverage previous content, recut/repost and update/refresh so that I would have new content for the campaigns…etc.

This was extremely tedious for me as I would have to search brand by brand or ASIN by ASIN across hundreds or thousands of products every week as new campaigns get added all the time, manually accept them, then go into each campaign, find and upload the content link again for all the products covered. I lost probably 4-5 hours a week of productivity that I was able to carve to this activity alone on a Saturday or Sunday to do this. Which is time not spent creating content but just finding and matching previous content so that I could try to gain extra earnings. The sales still had to be made in the campaign windows so just accepting and submitting to the campaigns didn’t increase earnings but only had potential too if you were selling those items.

I came across Oink for Influencers when I saw another influencer promoting it and decided to give it a try, I have experimented with more stuff before. I will tell you the have a free plan (slower speeds at scanning, more limited features) which I recommend you try, especially if you have less than 100 Amazon videos or content on your influencer profile or are just starting out. But when you reach having 1000+ or thousands of content pieces published on Amazon across videos, photos, idea lists…etc. Then this is where the Chrome extension offers maximum value.

Now I will say I have spoken to the creator of the plugin a few times directly on Facebook and he is extremely responsive, in fact since I first purchased the extension there have been so many new features added in less than 3 weeks that the extension has tripled the value I originally got from it.

First and foremost let me start how it is leveraged by me, after you sign up for the Oink for Influncers

You will always want to use a separate Chrome or Edge Browser window dedicated to this extension, you will want that window to be open and able to run at all times as this extension does most of it’s work by having to run in real time in your browser window.

After installing the Extension you would go to your Amazon Store front and click Store Front Fetch.

Select to include Idea Lists and Shoppable Pics if you also create that type of content. Depending on how much content you have published in your Storefront it can be quick to several hours. What this does is built a list of all the content you have created and ASIN’s (Products) that you have covered.

It took around 2 hours to scan and index all 12333 ASIN’s and content I had published over the past years since the program first existed.

You can also do a Storefront Health Check which shares which content you created that leads to no products listed for that content anymore like the product page is no longer available for your video…etc. You can use this to help find content that no longer links to a product and see if a new product page or ASIN is available to help retagging if you are able to for that product or possibly just culling the video if you no longer need it because it isn’t tagging anything.

The collaboration tracker is more like a browser spreadsheet you use to help track your own working relationships, this was a new feature only recently added and I don’t leverage it as I have my spreadsheets for doing collaboration tracking but this may be of value if you aren’t doing any tracking separately yourself.

I won’t cover Content Gap or Prime Day much as these are specific features to Prime Day only and won’t last long but they help find out which products you have covered that will be on Prime Day Deal. This requires you have had access to the Prime Day deals list that Amazon shares with influencers to do a comparison which I wont’ show more on this as it is not publicly sharable info.

Copyright Audit has some value, what this does is scans Amazon Product pages on the products/content you covered and attempt to find if there is a matching video found this is a common practice where influencers or sellers will steal influencer videos and upload as their own, this content theft is a systemic problem and until Amazon offers influncers a copyright content check system to YouTube influencers have to be vigilant at finding people stealing our videos and file copyright complaints one at a time against them.

This works, but it uses the exact “duration” of the video to attempt to match, and when you do a lot of content like me there can be a lot of false positives. Some valid findings too, so not everything it says is a duplicate is really a duplicate, example if you did a 49 second video on a product, it will flag any other video that is 49 seconds on the same product page for you to look at and see if it is just a duplicate of yours. Helpful but not foolproof, if someone edited your video and shaved off even a second or two and uploaded it wouldn’t find it, but most are very lazy and just re-upload exact same video so it has value.

The REAL and Most Value from Oink for Influencers

Okay now on the the most value you get from this Amazing Influencers Oink for Influencers Extension, this is the Creator Connections benefit. So as mentioned at the time of this publication you can see there are 233,680 Creator Connection campaigns to choose from.

Without this extension I would have to use filters and search brand by brand, product by product manually to see what I have already covered. With this extension you can simply click on the “Creator Connections Check” again after you scanned your storefront first and this extension will check one by one every product you covered and auto accept the campaign for you. As you can see by my most recent scan it auto found and accepted 9 campaign, but don’t let this fool you as I had it accept over 129 campaigns 1 week and I run this scan every night and it finds 5-20 new per day usually for me.

Now once you have it find and accept campaigns you click on your “Active” tab then click on the “Add Links to Campaigns button and this will auto open up each campaign accepted and add your Amazon Video link, Shoppable Photo Link or Idea List to that campaign so that you meet the criteria of having content posted to that campaign you accepted.

I will tell you that within 3 weeks of purchasing this plugin, my Creator Connections income increased by over $500 as a direct result of the campaigns it found, accepted and submitted content for. This is just the direct income it brought me, if you then account for the say (12 hours of time/labor) low estimate I spent managing creator connections, and I say my hourly rate was $50 per hour that I would charge for doing content creation then this would be another $600 in time/labor savings. Even if you were to value your time at $25 per hour it would be $300 in value/labor savings.

There is even more features too like it can save brand messages for reaching out to brands on Creator Connections trying to request content, to even more tracking and as I said new features and functionality are being added so quickly you get incredible value.

The one feature it doesn’t have that I want it to eventually get is for the ability to manually input off-Amazon content created like Blog Posts and YouTube videos that you can match to an ASIN so that it can auto accept/publish to campaigns as right now it relies only on the content you publish on your Amazon Storefront. So if you are pretty much only an off-Amazon influencer and post only to social media channels, then this extension won’t have as much benefit with the Creator Connections find/accept/submit as it can’t scan off-line content or build an index of it for you yet.

But being that it can do even Idea Lists and Shoppable Photos which you can leverage on your influencer storefront without even having the product on-hand for those category of content pieces, everyone can benefit from this extension if you are an Amazon Influencer with a storefront. On top of that this extension also shows you the parent ASIN of products on product pages so you can take advantage of doing parent ASIN tagging on the content.

Get the Oink for Influencers Extension now and see how it helps increase your earnings from Amazon Creator Connections.

Disclosure: I became an affiliate for this extension after using it, I decided it provided enough value to be worth promoting. I would not be promoting this extension if I didn’t also use it and believe it was worth spending money on as I know spending money on marketing, expenses is difficult for many and you really need to ensure what you spend on brings back value to justify the spend. If you subscribe to this extension through my link I will earn some commission from it. But this is one extension that I have seen nobody say they get no value from it and if you use Creator Connections or have been wanting to, this will be of value to you.

My whole intended purpose when getting a Meta Quest 3 was always more about trying to incorporate VR fitness into my daily routine. I started out with Beat Saber and Synth Riders as my primary form of working out, but after half a year of running both programs often in the same night I started realizing the new track drops weren’t frequent enough and though I loved churning through the same tunes every day, the patterns became too routine as I moved through medium, hard and then expert in some of the tracks.

Then my fitness routine ramped up to 1000 when I was introduced to Supernatural VR ironically through a Facebook recommend. This is a subscription based workout app that is about $9.99 per month and I decided to do the free trial first, and within 2 days purchased the annual plan.

What makes Supernatural VR a great value is that the amount of new content and content variety vastly blow away Beat Saber and other VR Fitness games. You get more new content for that $9.99 per month than you do buying DLC packs on Synth Riders or Beat Saber. You also get a variety of workouts from boxing to flow, to meditations. They incorporate movements, knee strikes and are adding new forms into songs on a regular basis. The newest mode superspeed has me totally hooked and has dramatically increased the intensity of my workouts maximizing my calorie burn in less time spent.

You can pair the Meta Quest 3 app with the Supernatural app on your phone and if you have a smart watch you can track your heart rate as well, so that way you can get updates after each song on your min/max heart rate and track your flow. I do recommend you stay on top of your heart rate as you want to keep it within target zones and also take pauses if you get it too high.

So while the game supports up to 4 profiles on a single Meta Quest headset if you want to play with someone you know each person will have to have their own subscriptions, like if you and your partner want to both play at the same time together, need 2 headsets and 2 subscriptions but if you take turns on the same headset you don’t need separate subscriptions.

I continue to push and see how far I can go with it with my latest run being about 533 minutes over 7 days and scoring 22325 points. But don’t let the points fool you, the most intense workouts are boxing and you get lower points for boxing than for flow because there are less targets in the boxing workouts but they are far more intense and get your heart rate up. So what I like to do is start my workout with a boxing which immediately ramps my heart rate, and then I work into a few flow workouts after, and then finish with another boxing workout to keep a steady higher heart rate through the whole workout session.

I set my goal for 5 days a week, but have done 7 days a week for 10 straight weeks without breaking my streak so far.

I work out sometimes outside but I notice that in the sunlight my Meta Quest 3 can sometimes lose track of my virtual bats in the middle of a workout causing me to miss targets, it doesn’t seem to happen indoors with a lamp light however. Not sure if this is a Meta Quest 3 tracking issue or with the app itself when using it outside and it is sunny.

When I am outside I always set it to AR Mode where I can see my environment around me all the time, instead of VR mode, even indoors I workout in AR mode cause I was bumping into the couch so much as I don’t have a huge VR workout space.

Without any diet modifications at all, i lost about 11lb between January 2025 and the end of March 2025, and I know I could have dropped quite a bit more if I cut back on my calorie intake and modified my diet more than I do but hey I love food what can I say. Regardless of the slower weight loss, I have however noticed substantial stamina increase and faster reflexes. I can now do Beat Saber on Expert mode and Hard feels too slow for me as a result of working my way up in Supernatural VR. In addition my stamina is improved I can do the longer 40+ minute tracks non-stop with no breaks in between, and am able to do 80-95 minute sessions straight with only a quick drink between workouts to replenish my fluids. When I first started I would be winded in 15 minutes and couldn’t even go fast enough to get gold or platinum in the high workouts, now I am consistently Double Platinum or better in all Pro workouts, sometimes getting a Triple or a Diamond which you need like a 100/98 (accuracy/power) or 99/99 or 100/100 to get a diamond. Boxing though I still have a hard time getting my speed over 90 with hard mode.

I even added wrist weights periodically to up the impact even more but I should have started with 1/2lb or 1lb weights because the 2lb ones left my shoulders very sore when using them for 30 minutes

For when I workout I tend to listen to music very loud, it keeps me focused and amplifies my intensity but sometimes the speaker on the Meta Quest 3 is too loud for the family, so I found that the PRISMXR Vega T1 earbuds are fantastic because they use a USB C dongle they have 0 latency unlike Bluetooth earbuds which you can’t really use with Supernatural VR because the delay in the Bluetooth causes your target strikes to be out of sync with the sound of the targets being hit.

I also recommend the BOBOVR S3 Pro Battery Headset Strap which also has a more comfortable headband and a little fan that helps cool your head while working out, it is somewhat effective too.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we interact with technology. From chatbots to recommendation systems, AI models are now an integral part of our daily lives. But how do we ensure that these models generate accurate, relevant, and coherent responses? The answer lies in prompt engineering.

What Is Prompt Engineering?

Prompt engineering is the process of crafting effective queries or instructions for AI models. It bridges the gap between raw input and meaningful output. Whether you’re communicating with a language model, training a chatbot, or fine-tuning a generative AI system, prompt engineering plays a pivotal role in shaping the quality of responses.

Why Should You Learn Prompt Engineering?

1. Optimized Outputs with Minimal Effort

The primary benefit of prompt engineering is the ability to achieve optimized outputs with minimal post-generation effort. Generative AI models often produce mixed-quality results, requiring skilled practitioners to review and revise. By mastering prompt engineering, you can significantly reduce the need for manual editing, saving time and resources.

2. Control and Interpretability

Prompt engineering gives users full control and interpretability over AI-generated content. Clear, concise prompts guide the model, reducing potential biases in data collection and analyses. As a prompt engineer, you’ll learn to create specific prompts that align with your desired outcomes.

3. Improved Model Performance

Well-structured prompts lead to more accurate and relevant responses. Effective prompt engineering ensures that AI models understand not only the language but also the nuance and intent behind queries. As a result, you’ll witness improved model performance and better user experiences.

4. Career Opportunities and Upcoming Requirements

Learning prompt engineering can open up new career opportunities. Companies increasingly seek candidates with AI experience, and prompt engineering is a valuable skill in the AI ecosystem. Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, or content creator, understanding prompt engineering enhances your professional toolkit.  It will not be long where having the ability to augment your regular skills with some AI prompt engineering will be a requirement of job function.  Where AI engines still have gaps, hallucinations and make mistakes there is absolutely a dramatic shift for industries to start leveraging AI and those who know how to maximize its potential and leverage it will be more employable than those who do not.  

How Does Prompt Engineering Work?

Generative AI models, built on transformer architectures, process vast amounts of data through neural networks. Prompt engineering molds the model’s output, ensuring meaningful and coherent responses. Techniques like tokenization, model parameter tuning, and top-k sampling contribute to effective prompt engineering.

Some Places to Start with Learning Prompt Engineering

1. LearnPrompting.org

A fantastic introductory resource with a well-structured curriculum covering both the basics and advanced prompt engineering techniques. It’s designed to be beginner-friendly and easy to follow.

In Conclusion

Prompt engineering empowers us to communicate effectively with AI systems, unlocking their full potential. Whether you’re a curious learner or a seasoned professional, understanding prompt engineering is a step toward harnessing the capabilities of AI. So dive in, experiment, and discover the art of crafting prompts that shape the future of technology! 🚀

I also highly encourage you to test out multiple chatbots like Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT see how they respond and react using the same prompts, you will find that one may provide better and more clear context, others do better with formatting and Copilot and Gemini are able to access the web in real time (at the time of this article) where ChatGPT is locked only having access to data up until April 2023 (as of May 2024). 

Again one note is to make sure you vet responses if you are asking for information or publishing content output from chatbots, there is still a high degree of inaccuracy or can be not factual even though presented as especially if you are requesting hyperlinks or links to sources.  You have to not 100% rely on these tools to produce the information without review, I would always take the time and use them as tools to assist you they still have a degree of error or mistakes that I wouldn’t rely on the output 100% as trusted.

Meta will be pausing its US Reels Play bonus, a program that paid creators a monthly sum for accumulating views on their Reels.

With META shutting down their Reels Play bonus which was leveraged by many influencers to get monthly payments on high performing videos based on plays, this now leaves them scrambling to find alternative sources of income to compensate for this revenue stream loss. One channel that is available to Amazon Associates and Influencers who were leveraging Instagram and Facebook reels is to pivot to signing up for Logie.AI to get fast track approval to onboard to the platform.

Logie is a cutting-edge platform that connects influencers with Amazon brands and sellers, offering you the opportunity to earn bonus commissions on sales in addition to your regular Amazon affiliate earnings. With our Opportunity Marketplace, you can choose the products you want to promote and earn extra income from, giving you the flexibility to align your promotions with your personal brand and values.

By partnering with Logie, you can expand your reach and earn more income through promoting a wider range of products. Rather than relying solely on Amazon affiliate earnings, you can leverage your influence to drive sales for a diverse array of brands and products. This means more opportunities to earn commissions, build your audience, and establish yourself as a trusted influencer in your niche.

You can read my full blog post summary for using Logie for Extra Passive Income but I will summarize it up here as well.

You sign up for Logie (again use code dragons) in your request as it is invite only right now), and after you get approved you fill out your settings including all of your Amazon STOREID’s in the system. You will then install the Logie Chrome Extension, and you can start creating content with Logie. Pick brands and products in the “Opportunities” tab, and you can sort by which brands and products pay the highest commissions per sale.

Now how you promote these product is simple, and there are several ways to do it and some require spending no money at all.

Make Bonus Money For Free

Pick which products appeal to you and match what fit your content as a creator, then all you need to do is get the Amazon affiliate link for those products and promote them on your social media with the links you would normally share as an Amazon affiliate. As long as you are using the Logie Chrome extension it will automatically read in your sales of those specific products you promote and then you will start seeing your bonus earnings accrue in the bottom left of the Logie Dashboard. You will also see your payout statements in the Settings > Statements section.

I am not kidding when I tell you that you can augment your income by a few thousand extra dollars per month just by showcasing products. You can write blog posts, share on any social media and any authorized site in your Amazon Associates website list where you are allowed to share affiliate links can be leveraged to promote.

Make Even More Money – With Some Spend

Now, to make the most out of Logie you want to generate on-hand content, this requires you to spend a little, purchase some of the opportunity products and create video content for your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and whatever. Leverage your creative side here and get those clicks and watch your earnings grow, because not only are you making commission from Amazon, you are making extra commission from Logie and the Logie commissions exceed your Amazon % commissons per sale in most cases. Why make 2%-10% per product, when you can make an additional 10%-50% on top of every sale. This is basically getting commissions as high as digital services which often have the highest commission payouts from physical products and no other service offers some of these commission rates per sale.

Still Not Convinced Yet?

Logie has an impressive array of tools including thumbnail generators for YouTube Videos, product organization and tracking, and it even leverages AI that you can leverage to generate attractive titles and descriptions for your content to help save you time.

There is no reason not to use Logie AI if you are an Amazon Associate or influencer at this point, it is just leaving money on the table. Feel free to ask questions, and remember to sign up for the invite only program.

This was a year of great change for me, with my oldest son who is 19 having met his fiancé and married by the end of 2022 I wound up ending the year welcoming a daughter into the family.  This year had so much to reflect on and as I age I am finding time is becoming more and more valuable.  My youngest son meanwhile has also reached incredible milestones including getting his learners permit, learning to drive, getting accepted into a Fire Fighter Youth Explorer program, keeping his grades up even with very hard subjects like Physics and Algebra, and I am grateful and so proud of both my kids on their accomplishments.

My wife became full co-owner of DragonBlogger mid-2021 and last year was her first full year helping me moderate the live streams and assist the team while I was busy working my day job.  She helps interview new applications and creates content covering stuff in her specialty and we round out very well.  I really enjoy doing our Sunday co-hosting shows together, and having us be a “family business” so to speak and work together was a new dynamic to our long relationship that I think helped us become closer and work together.  Our different opinions and ideas mesh well to find compromise in our strategic goals for DragonBlogger.

Meanwhile, as an influencer and entrepreneur 2022 saw some amazing growth, in 2021 I was an influencer and growing, in 2022 DragonBlogger pretty much became a full influencer brand unto itself.  I find passion in working with brands and testing products and building relationships between my content creation team and the brands and stores we work with.  But I always take this very seriously, being an influencer means more than just trying to sell a product, it is about building relationships with your connections on all sides and establishing trust and ensuring you aren’t pitching or selling something that you don’t stand behind and endorse yourself or you could lose that trust.

I found that my time to play games and decompress has greatly reduced in 2022 and I would like to try to find a way to make more time to decompress in the future, my game time was a good way to just relax and have fun.  I do still find time to watch shows and movies with the family when I can, and I have some great recommendations for the year including:

My Fav Shows I saw in 2022

• Wednesday – Netflix
• Jujitsu Kaisen Anime – Crunchyroll
• Chainsaw Man Anime – Hulu
• Rings of Power – Amazon
• Jack Reacher – Amazon
• The Insider – Hulu

My Fav Movies I Saw in 2022

• Avatar 2 – Loved this film so much
• Bullet Train – Fantastic action film with Brad Pitt
• Smile – One of the best Horrors I have seen in years
• The Black Phone – Another great suspense movie

As cliché as it sounds, one of my goals for 2023 is to improve my fitness and reduce weight.  As well as go back to cutting down on caffeine intake, I had let myself go back up to 14 cups of coffee per day again and it is too much. 

On my influencer front 2023 I plan on focusing a lot more in the video short form space, which is something I have neglected for far too long.  Landscape long-format videos were mostly what we produced, but we have to grow in short-form media where the trends are, and this is where I intend to focus most of my growth.

I also intend to continue to aid Logie in growing as a platform for influencers and sellers, and highly recommend if you are an Amazon affiliate to look into this program as well.  I predict great things for this platform in 2023 and you want to get involved early.

I hope everyone had a great 2022 and starts 2023 with a bang.

I have been an Amazon Associate for many years, since pre-2012 and have been leveraging every thing from multiple blogs, YouTube Channels, Facebook Pages, Groups, various other social networks all in gaining not quite true passive income but earnings that require merely doing some research and sharing and promoting the products that I have my team and I have personally reviewed, tested and endorse as anything I would be willing to promote I would have to be willing to stake my reputation on. As an influencer your reputation and ability to be trusted is your strongest and most important asset, you recommend the wrong product, or a flawed product and you lose that customer who won’t trust your recommendations anymore or associate you with a bad product or being untrustworthy. It takes years to establish trust and only a few minutes to lose it, so if you are going to use your connection with audience to promote, endorse and sell products make sure you put in the effort to stand behind it and back it up personally with your reputation.

With that being said there is a relatively new tool that is just gaining traction that is so big and I see becoming so valuable you need to jump on this opportunity right away. The best part is it doesn’t cost you anything to sign up as an associate or influencer and you can start making extra money within minutes of signing up, it is called Logie (Loh’Ghee) I pronounced it wrong a few times myself, so I phonetically spelled it out. What this service does it it connects brands and associates or influencers together without the influencer having to actually reach out to any brand at all. They leverage a combination of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to basically match and automate everything. This is the most advanced Amazon tool I have seen in the past 10+ years of working with Amazon as an associate and influencer and Logie gets even more powerful if you are an Amazon Live streamer, but you don’t have to be a live streamer you can just be an associate and benefit.

Now Logie has hundreds of features, so this article would be ten thousand words for me to cover it all, I will solely cover the best part.

How to make extra money above and beyond your Amazon associates commissions on products you sell.

Sign up for Logie at https://www.mylogie.com/signup. After you sign up and complete all the profile information stuff you are ready to roll. I have been using Logie for nearly a year, and I can tell you that the benefits and future potential coming will outweigh any concerns by a long shot here.

Now it is time to start earning those bonus commissions, and here is how. The first thing you need to know is Logie is still in BETA and they don’t have a large number of brands yet added, but this is changing and now is the time to jump in and take advantage to ride the wave. You are gonna want to log in and on the left hand menu expand the Manage section, then click on Products, here you should see the Opportunities tab.

Every product in the opportunities tab is paying a bonus commission on items sold, and as you can see at the time of this article there were 678 products you can earn bonus earnings from. Here is how you read this layout. At the top right is the bonus commission earning, example this product right here pays you 50% commissions on a single sale. This is above and beyond the % you earn from an Amazon commission.

At the top left you see if there are any active coupons for the product, at the bottom you see a Promote button which gives you the link with your associates tag (you setup in your profile) to get quick affiliate links.

When you click on promote, you get a popup to create new or add to existing draft.

Now if you click Next, you will see which type of content you want to create. This can be adding a Shoppable Video or Live Show (Amazon Influencer) or a Product Post (Amazon Associate)

Logie then gives you the option to generate a suggested title and description for the product to help save you time and get you started with some info.

Click on Generate Title and you get a small list of titles to choose from as a template, you have to choose one to get to the description generation.

You can also retry if you don’t like any of the initial titles that were drafted, Logie uses AI to scrape information from the product page to come up with both the title and description leveraging data points on what makes the best phrases for the product. On the next page you generate the description, and again you can re-try if you don’t like the initial summary. It even includes hashtages for the brand, your influencer channel and the proper #ad disclosure for sharing an affiliate link. Now it includes the full product link but I still recommend you shorten all affiliate links with Bit.ly or use your own custom tracking service to shorten and make links a bit easier to click on and copy paste.

You check mark the selection, click next then set the date and time of your post creation.

You can also have Logie Generate a thumbnail (it has powerful thumbnail creation options) or you can upload a thumbnail

Now the product is added to your Logie Storefront which you can get from your profile “visit storefront” mine is https://www.mylogie.com/dragonbloggers for example. This storefront is basically listing everything you have ever covered and acts as your primary page to direct people to to showcase the products you covered on Amazon.

You can use the link however sell the product anywhere on any social media platform or blog you leverage as long as you use the required disclosure hashtags and make sure that social media network is added as one of your websites in your Amazon account. You want to add your mylogie.com storefront to your website sitelist too here on your Amazon account.

Finally, there is a quicker way to just get the link to the Opportunity Products as well by just clicking on the image of the product, this expands a window of information about the product, as well as gives you your affiliate URL which you can copy to clip board or click on. You can also click “Grab a Sample” which is the same thing as the Truck icon in the summary list and this request a 50% off coupon for you to buy the product at 1/2 price, so that you can create hands on content with the product to earn your bonus commissions.

Now, currently Logie takes a 1% commission for themselves out of the bonus commission you see listed on the product, so if a product is paying 20% commission you get 19%, if a product pays 50% you get 49%…etc. They can get away with taking such a low commission cut because there is no human beings having to manage a relationship between the brand and the influencer, nobody has to manually upload and validate sales reports, it is all automated. Brand contracts with Logie, and distributes payment to Logie based on all sales, Logie provides all signed influencers with their cut based on their sales. It automatically matches the ASIN to your Amazon affiliate/influencer storeid and tracks it all. They also track it daily in real time, so you can see summary of your earnings growing on a daily basis when promoting Logie opportunity products.

Amazon has announced its second sale of the year. This great sale catalog has a wide selection of discounted products and special deals for prime members. If we are early, you can save up to an extra 80% on select Amazon items when you sign up for a prime membership account.

Starting from the 11th at exactly midnight to the 12th of October, prime members from the Uk, Canada, Austria, China, Germany, France, Poland, Sweden, Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, and far wide across the globe will have access to the Early Access Sale involving exclusive access to top-shop holiday deals and discounts.  Members can start shopping for more than 200 Alexa-enabled devices, including Amazon Echo, Echo,o Dot, and many more with little to no prices on products from popular brands like Philips, Peloton, Murad, Sonicare, Caudalie, and more.

Amazon Prime members worldwide will be able to shop for holiday gifts in an avalanche of Spa day boxes, gift cards, commemorative gas, plaque, personalized ornament, and many more from Amazon’s new gift guides and find inspiration for special holiday sales, as well as Amazon’s Toys-We-Love list inclusively.

How do you get yourself prepared ahead of October?

1. Plan, and sign up: If you haven’t gotten a prime account, this is one of the most important things you can do for your Prime Day preparations, so make sure you have a prime membership account with a plan in place before the sale begins.

2. Create a list of items you want to buy: This is the best way to keep track of what you need and when you need it. When creating your list, think about how much time each item will take to fulfill, as well as what other items would go well with it. For example, if you’re buying an iPad Pro and pens, consider picking up some sharpies too!

Shoppers with prime membership who anticipate prime day deals create their deal list with Alexa. This avails them with 24-hour notification before each of these deals on items on their Cart or Wishlist goes live.

3. Stock up on items that are hard to find elsewhere: Some products sell out quickly during these kinds of sales so try not to buy products that are in high demand or are difficult to find elsewhere – especially if they’re only available through Amazon’s website or app (like routers).

4. Sign up for the newsletter and stay on top of deals: With this, you will get exclusive updates about early access sales – plus other great deals that we think you’ll love.

5. Check your notification settings: Make sure to set up notifications as well so you’ll never miss out on the early access sales.

What else is happening on that day?

During the inception of the event, Amazon announced it will also be unveiling its first-ever Top 100 list of exciting catalogs of deals from popular brands like KitchenAid, iRobot, Samsung, and many more.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a good reputation, always be your best, always deliver excellence in whatever you do. Never be known as the “person who wouldn’t do that” if you are not the right person, or don’t know how, be part of the solution that helps deliver what the requestor wants.

If you are a company or brand, reputation takes an incredibly long time to build up and can be ruined in seconds, sometimes never recovering other times costing enormous amounts of time and effort to recover.

Example: I frequently run across is brands/stores violating Amazon ToS in regards to influencers, trying to influencer reviewer ratings/demand 5 stars, high ratings, which not only is wrong and undermines the trust and reputation of the influencers you try to partner with, but also harms your brand reputation when it comes to light and can have severe financial repercussions for violating #Amazon ToS.

Amazon has strict seller policies and zero tolerance for review manipulation https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/GYRKB5RU3FS5TURN?language=en_US

If you are an influencer and brands contact you demanding 5 stars or trying to incentivize with refunds/gift cards or other monetization exchange for increasing report them.

If you are already an Amazon Prime member you may not be aware that you already now have access to Twitch Prime since Twitch is owned by Amazon.  Twitch Prime offers an array of other benefits for Amazon Prime members who happen to be gamers or simply want to support their favorite gamers on Twitch without coming out of pocket to subscribe to them.  With Twitch Prime you get access to free games, unlocks and skins for various games and more.  With your Twitch Prime linked to your Amazon prime you can now also give 1 free monthly sub to another Twitch Streamer which is basically like donating $4.99 to a Twitch streamer of your choice without paying anything, you are just using your free Twitch Prime sub that comes with Amazon Prime.

How to take advantage of Twitch Prime

You have to have as Twitch account at least created, even if you never plan on streaming yourself.  So the first thing you do is create an account on Twitch.

Then to get started, log into Twitch Prime if you are already signed into Amazon at this URL: https://twitch.amazon.com

You will see a button to Activate Prime Gaming near the top right side of the screen.
Then you will be asked to confirm your country and be taken to the screen which authorizes your Twitch account or asks you to sign in if you are not yet signed into Twitch.

After you authorized it you should get a confirmation from Amazon that you have leveled up with information on what you can now do with your Twitch Prime.

Now if you want to claim your free games and game content you can click on See Loot, if you want to use your Twitch Prime sub now to support your favorite streamers one month a time, you can click on the Subscribe Free button and just find your favorite streamers channel.  Example if you go to https://www.twitch.tv/dragonbloggers and click on the subscribe button at the top you will now see a way to use your Twitch Prime sub for free as an alternative to the $4.99 subscription.

You also get the Twitch Prime crown badge next to your profile on Twitch.  One reason why you should use your Twitch Prime sub for a streamer is that a streamer gets to keep 100% of the Twitch Prime sub revenue, the full $4.99 instead of only 50% if you pay for a subscription. This means to the streamer the Twitch Prime sub actually provides them more value as a sub when it comes to revenue.  This is why Twitch Prime subs are highly regarded and truly appreciated if you have one to spare and use to support your favorite streamers.
