Welcome back to the If You Know, You Know podcast! In this episode, I’m breaking down the crucial differences between earning as an Amazon Influencer and generating income through UGC (User Generated Content) brand deals.
People ask me all the time, “Wait… you get paid by Amazon and by brands?” Yes, I do. But they’re completely different income streams. They pay differently, they scale differently, and understanding the difference is how you stop chasing random opportunities and start building real stability.

You’ll learn:
- How the Amazon Influencer Program works and why it’s not “traditional influencing”
- The nuts and bolts of UGC brand deals, from briefs to deliverables to direct payments
- Why combining both models can help you build scalable, reliable online income
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your social selling game, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic choices for your business and lifestyle.
Key Takeaways:
- Amazon Influencer is Asset-Based & Scalable: As an Amazon Influencer, I earn commissions when buyers purchase after watching my short product videos hosted directly on Amazon.
- UGC Brings Immediate Cash Flow: With UGC, I create content directly for brands based on briefs and I get paid upfront per deliverable.
- Combine Both for True Stability & Freedom: When I leverage Amazon Influencer and UGC brand deals together, it creates a balanced, resilient business.
