The Amazon Associates Program lets you link to Amazon products and earn money using affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is a referral program: A user is paid a commission when someone clicks on the item they’re linking to.

The Amazon Influencer Program lets you make a storefront on Amazon where you list items you recommend to your followers. You get a commission when people buy items. You can also use affiliate links with this program.

Not sure which program to choose…

Amazon says: “As a member of the Amazon Influencer Program, you are a content creator who provides recommendations to inspire your audience via social media. If you are a media company or a brand and want to drive traffic to Amazon, you should apply to the Amazon Associates Program instead.”
