The Amazon Affiliates Nightmare Every Seller Faces (And How I'm Fixing It)

Hey there,

Remember when working with affiliates to promote your Amazon products was easy? Me neither!!!

Working with influencers and creators as an Amazon FBA seller has always been time-consuming and messy.

Let me tell you what I discovered from my experience and after chatting with other Amazon sellers.

The 6-Step Amazon Affiliate Hell Loop

Working with affiliates as an Amazon seller is ridiculously manual and time-consuming.

Beyond finding the right influencers and creators, you're stuck doing these tasks over and over:

1. Sending them samples 📦
Coordinating shipping. Tracking packages. Following up on delivery.

2. Creating Amazon attribution links 🔗
Manually generating tracking links for each affiliate. Copy-pasting. Hoping you don't mess up.

3. Checking their posts 👀
Scrolling through Instagram. Hunting for your product mentions. Screenshots everywhere.

4. Monitoring traffic and sales 📊
Jumping between Amazon dashboards. Trying to connect dots. Guessing which affiliate drove what.

5. Giving them visibility 🧐
Creating manual reports. Screenshots of Amazon data. Explaining numbers via DMs.

6. Paying affiliate fees 💸
Calculating percentages. Processing payments. Keeping track of who earned what.

Sound familiar?

Why Amazon FBA Sellers Are Drowning

The problem isn't that Amazon Attribution doesn't work.

It's that managing Amazon external traffic from multiple affiliates is a nightmare.

You're spending more time on admin work than growing your business.

And your affiliates? They're frustrated too.

They have zero visibility into the Amazon seller data they're generating for you.

So they move on to working with non-Amazon brands that make their lives easier.

The Real Cost of Manual Affiliate Management

I've talked to Amazon sellers losing $10k+ monthly because:

  • Good affiliates quit (no transparency) 😢
  • Attribution links break (human error) 💔
  • Sales go untracked (missed payments) 💸
  • Time gets wasted (manual processes) ⏳

This week an Amazon seller friend told me:

"My influencers said she doesn't want to work with us anymore because it was too complicated for her and she dreaed the idea of trying to recruit other tier 2 affiliates"

This is broken.

Amazon FBA seller reports their influencer quit because the system was too complicated

What Amazon Sellers Actually Need

I've been selling on Amazon for 7 years so I know a lot of fellow sellers. After interviewing several Amazon FBA sellers, here's what they want:

  • Simple affiliate onboarding (no more manual generation of links)
  • Full Control (decide what % each affiliate gets for each product)
  • Amazon Attribution reliable tracking (see sales as they happen)
  • Creator dashboards (let them see their own performance)
  • Automatic payments (calculate and pay commissions instantly)
  • External traffic insights (know which content drives sales)

Basically, they want affiliate management that doesn't suck 😂

I'm Building the Solution

That's why I'm creating a tool that automates the entire Amazon affiliates workflow.

Want Early Access?

I am 1-2 weeks away from launching a beta version of my software, and I would love you to try it.

I need users to try it and let me know what they like and what they don't like. Ultimately, I'm building this not just to use in my brands, but to make it a valuable tool for all Amazon brands and creators out there.

If you're an Amazon seller working with (or wanting to work with) affiliates, I'd love to show you what I'm building.
