Youāre not alone. In this episode of The Storefront Strategy Podcast with Claire & Nicole, weāre talking honestly about Prime Day results, carousel instability, Creator Connections changes, international storefront merging, and what weāre doing as we head deeper into Q4. Amazon still has real earning potential, but right now it feels harder to predict whatās going to work. So do you keep pushing the same strategy, adjust your approach, or start building additional income streams? We talk about: āØ Our very different Prime Day results āØ Why Amazon Influencer earnings feel so volatile right now āØ Whatās happening with video carousel placement āØ Whether Amazonās carousel testing may finally be settling down āØ International storefront merging and why weāre being cautious āØ Whether now is the time to pause, push harder, or adapt āØ Why Q4 is NOT necessarily the time to completely overhaul your strategy āØ Shorter videos vs higher-effort content right now āØ Why good content and product research should still matter long-term āØ Exploring Walmart, Tribe, TikTok Shop, Facebook affiliate links, YouTube, and other opportunities āØ Why spreading yourself across too many platforms can hurt your results āØ The biggest question to ask before starting a new social media account āØ Why problem-solving content is where social commerce is heading One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: your skills are transferable. If you know how to create useful product videos, research products, build workflows, and help people make buying decisions, there are a LOT of ways to monetize those skills. Amazon may be funky right now, but weāre definitely not jumping ship. Weāre adapting. How did Prime Day go for you? Did you see a big bump, barely any difference, or something in between? 00:00 Prime Day Results & Amazon Influencer Updates 02:45 Why Earnings Feel So Volatile 05:15 Amazon Video Carousel Changes 08:15 Are Carousels Finally Stabilizing? 10:00 Global Storefront Merge Concerns 13:00 Should You Pause International Storefronts? 15:15 Push Through, Pause, or Pivot? 18:00 Q4 Amazon Influencer Strategy 20:45 Shorter Videos vs High-Effort Content 23:15 When Amazon Feels Like a Grind 25:00 Other Creator Income Opportunities 27:15 Avoiding Shiny Object Syndrome 29:00 Building Multiple Income Streams 31:00 The Best Social Media Strategy 32:15 Become a Problem Solver, Not Just an Influencer 33:30 Final Thoughts #AmazonInfluencer #AmazonInfluencerProgram #CreatorConnections #SocialCommerce #StorefrontStrategy -------------------------- š³All My Courses, Links, Socials & Resources Here: https://linktr.ee/nicolervincent šµ Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vintx/ FTC Disclaimer: As an Amazon Influencer and affiliate for various websites and services, I may earn a commission on some products or services purchased through the links shared here.
