Amazon Influencers: Best Ones to Work With + 5 Easy Ways to Find them [2024]

Who is the oldest influencer in the history of the world?

According to a Quora thread, it’s a tie between Socrates and Buddha, who used their fame and wisdom to influence society.

The notion of influencers is not new. Influencers and their impact on consumer behavior have been around for a long, long time. Sure, back then, “consumerism” didn’t look like clicking some buttons and a "box too big to make sense for what you ordered" at your door 2 days later.

Today it does look like that, though. And Amazon has had a huge role to play in this: it has opened the doors for small and individual businesses to sell more, on demand. Moreover, it has opened the doors for a whole new niche of influencers too -- people who buy on Amazon and use their wide reach to help other people make better buying decisions.

Tapping into the power of Amazon influencers can be a complete game changer for you as a store owner. But if you feel overwhelmed by the propensity of options you have when you look up “Amazon influencers,” it’s totally understandable.

We’re here to help you out. In this article, we have gathered the top Amazon influencers in 2024 (and what makes them a great choice for your business.)

What is an Amazon influencer?

An Amazon influencer is a content creator, blogger, or social media influencer who is also a member of Amazon’s Influencer Program. They provide inspiration and recommendations to help shoppers find Amazon's best products and brands.

Amazon Influencers are able to set up a storefront where they feature products from different brands that sell on the platform. They earn commissions on purchases made through their Amazon storefronts.

Why should brands work with Amazon influencers?

Amazon influencers can help increase your sales by promoting your product to their audience, build trust with consumers, improve the buying journey, and reduce your ACOS. Think about it: one click on an Instagram story or TikTok video can bring your potential customer straight to your Amazon store.

Amazon has built a reputation as a trustworthy destination to find whatever you need. When your customers search for a product they do in-depth research of reviews. And Amazon is one of the first websites they check out when they are digging for reviews.

So because shoppers already trust Amazon, pairing up with an Amazon Influencer adds a layer of trust. It can also improve your Amazon Ads efforts.

According to Influencer Marketing Hub and HubSpot:

• 72% of Gen Z and Millennials follow influencers on social media. That’s a growing buying market with disposable income to come!
• 33% of Gen Z-ers have bought a product based on an influencer's recommendation in the past three months. Can you say that a third of your customers purchased products based on your personal recommendation? (ads don’t count).
• 50% of Millennials trust product recommendations from influencers. This drops to 38% for product recommendations from celebrities. Half of your Millennial customer base listens to influencers. That’s big!

And Amazon is one of the only marketplace among its competitors that has an established influencer program.

What kind of influencer campaigns can you do on amazon?

There are several ways you can maximize your Amazon Influencer Partnerships and capitalize on the Amazon Influencer program. For example:

• Product reviews
• Unboxing
• Featured on must-have lists
• Discount codes exclusive to Amazon shoppers

6 Mistakes companies make in hiring influencers

Before we dive into how to find the right Amazon Influencers, let’s talk about how to execute a great influencer campaign.

You may have tried to run influencer campaigns in the past (Amazon or otherwise) that brought you little to no results. That’s because influencer campaigns are not always as simple as “here’s my product, make me money”. Sometimes they are, but you still have to kiss quite a few frogs to get to that influencer princess.

OR you can follow our playbook and skip that part.

Many factors can negatively affect the performance of an influencer marketing campaign. Here are the main mistakes to avoid:

1. Selecting influencers who aren’t aligned with your brand, or wouldn’t normally use your product
2. Not evaluating the influencer’s target audience alignment before partnering up
3. Pushing a rigid script on the influencer, rather than collaborating on a creative approach they feel will resonate with their fans
4. Failing to set clear terms and timelines for your agreement
5. Publishing blatantly promotional, hard-selling content that turns off fans
6. Not setting up proper tracking, URLs, or landing pages beforehand

The fact is, when executed correctly, influencer marketing works for a wide range of companies—and it can work beautifully for your brand.

5 ways to find Amazon influencers and their storefronts

You can find anything on Amazon, even influencers. No, they don’t come to your door within 1-2 business days. No, not even with your Prime membership.

They can however help you sell more to your ideal target audience and they’re easy to find once you know what to look for.

Finding the right Amazon influencers can take some research, just like every other partnership does. Below are five fast and sure-fire ways to find the right amazon influencers for your brand.

1. Search for creators and influencers on Amazon

One way to find Amazon influencers is to see who is live streaming on Amazon Live. Influencers often stream live shows and interact with their audience. The good thing about this is that you can see how much real engagement they have in real-time so you can vet them on the spot.

Amazon features live events on its Amazon Live Homepage. Grab some popcorn, have a peek and see if any of them would fit your brand.

2. Use the #FoundItOnAmazon hashtag

Another way to find influencers on Amazon is to use the hashtag #founditonamazon to see a curated collection of influencer photos. You can select various product categories to narrow your search.

The hashtag #founditonamazon doesn’t stop on Amazon, though. It has 459k posts on Instagram and you can find the top creators that used it by filtering “top” posts.

If you want to take it a step further you can search for related hashtags on Instagram (and other platforms). For example, the hashtag #amazoninfluencer shows up in 326k posts on Instagram.

On TikTok, #founditonamazon has 4.7B views, #amazoninfluencer has 568M views, and #ifounditonamazon has 22M views.

Once you start searching for these hashtags, both of these platforms will populate a list of related hashtags. They’re worth exploring in search of the right partner.

3. Discover who your audience likes

A good influencer is one that has the same audience as you. So what better way to find out what your customer persona likes than going straight to the source?

An easy way to find the right Amazon influencers for your campaigns is to drill down into your ideal target audience and find out what they like + who they follow.

Pay careful attention to your social media analytics (most platforms offer great insights into your audience and their behaviors), and see which segment of your audience engages with you most. From there, take a look at who is following you and what influencers they follow.

I can’t stress this enough: your target audience and your influencer’s audience have to match. Don’t let yourself be charmed by the hundreds of thousands or millions of followers an influencer has. If they’re not followed by your ideal customers, they’re not a good match for you.

4. Use an influencer marketing tool or platform

Finding influencers doesn’t have to involve guesswork. If you like the fast and systemized way of doing things, there are dozens of great tools specifically designed for researching, vetting, and finding influencers.

Use influencer marketing tools for:

• Influencer discovery: many of these platforms list most (if not all) influencers on social profiles like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. They are waiting for you to find them!
• Get audience data: not every influencer will be the right fit and that’s ok. You can determine which ones are the right fit even before you start working with them, however. An influencer tool will help you gain performance data like engagement rate, real audience, % of the audience in your target location, demographics, and what their audience is talking about. All before you even interact with them.
• Access to influencers’ contact information: whether you’re running big or small campaigns, you’ll have to contact your ideal influencers. With social media restrictions and messages ending in the “other” inboxes, having their email information can speed up the process.
• Tracking and monitoring: many of these tools have great campaign tracking and monitoring in place for full campaign transparency, minimizing your risk of going into business with influencers that don’t have your best interest at heart.

5. Hire an Amazon marketing agency

This all sounds great but… If you like the idea of ramping up your influencer efforts but don’t want to dive into the project yourself you don’t have to.

There are many experts and agencies that have created great systems to do all of this for you. Many of these agencies have already established relationships with influencers that they trust and have shown results in previous campaigns. That means you can get a head start and free up your time to scale with this new revenue source.

One good bet to find the right team is to look into Mayple’s Amazon experts and micro-agencies. We have curated a list of the top Amazon agencies in 2024 that are vetted by Mayple’s internal team.
