Amazon’s marketing strategy relies heavily on influencers, and Prime Day is no exception.
The company used social media stars, such as fashion and beauty creator Alix Earle and comedy creator Leenda Dong, to livestream on TikTok, post about deals, and share buying guides on YouTube and Instagram during the annual two-day sales event on July 11 and 12.
As part of the company’s influencer program, Amazon has a network of fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and technology creators who sell products. The program provides influencers with a suite of tools and features that allow them to earn money by promoting products via content formats such as livestreams or product review videos.
In addition to set commission rates, the company frequently offers paid incentives to influencers, such as increased rates, additional payouts, and gift cards, to boost product promotion, particularly around Prime Day.
According to the company, Amazon influencers earned 21.6 times more per day on average during this year’s Prime Day compared to their daily average in 2023.

- Crest 3D Whitestrips, professional effects
- Yeti Rambler 12 oz. Colster for slim hard seltzer cans

Many fashion and lifestyle bloggers make the majority of their money through affiliate links. Amazon is a popular network for these creators to earn money by sharing unique product links.
“As consumers, we want that personal curation from creators,” Lindsey Gamble, Mavrck’s associate director of influencer innovation, told Insider. “We want to know not only what products they are using, but also how it looks, and creators have a way of providing a more personalized shopping experience.”
