October was the month things started to snowball. I uploaded 124 new videos, clicks more than tripled again to 5,189, my videos drove $12,471.62 in sales, and income jumped to $299.14. That’s nearly four times what I made in September.
If you’re just catching up, here’s the month 1 income report and the month 2 income report so you can see where this started.
The Numbers
Total income hit $299.14 in October, up 276% from September’s $79.58. Here’s the full breakdown:
| Metric | Month 2 (Sept) | Month 3 (Oct) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clicks from onsite videos | 1,585 | 5,189 | +227% |
| Conversion rate | Not tracked | 8.09% | New |
| Shipped items | Not tracked | 420 | New |
| Returned items | Not tracked | 23 | New |
| Sales driven by my videos | $4,040.99 | $12,471.62 | +209% |
| Product sales commissions | $50.31 | $158.07 | +214% |
| Creator Connections | $29.27 | $141.07 | +382% |
| Bonus | $0.00 | $0.00 | No change |
| Total Income | $79.58 | $299.14 | +276% |
| Income per video | $0.66 | $1.23 | +86% |
Spread across the month, that’s about $9.65 a day. For context, my whole first month in August came in at $67.14, so October beat that total in about a week.
What Changed From Month 2
Creator Connections came roaring back. After dipping to $29.27 in September, it hit $141.07 in October, almost five times higher. Product commissions also tripled to $158.07, so this wasn’t one lucky campaign. Both income streams grew at the same time.
Last month I said I was watching earnings per click, which had slipped to about $0.05. It recovered a bit in October to about $0.06, even with three times the traffic. My income also worked out to roughly 2.4% of the sales I drove, up from about 2% in September.
Conversion came in at 8.09%. That’s lower than the 12.94% I saw in my tiny first month, but it’s on more than ten times the clicks, so I’m not worried. Returns were 23 out of 420 shipped items, about 5.5%, which feels reasonable.
What the Month Actually Looked Like
This was my biggest month of uploading by far. I created 124 videos in October, which more than doubled my library to 244 videos on Amazon. More videos means more product pages where shoppers can find me, and the click numbers show it.
The nice part is that each video is pulling more weight, not less. Income per video went from a paltry $0.66 in September to $1.23 in October. Every one of those videos keeps working on its product page long after I upload it.
ViralVue Is Paying for Itself
Two months ago I signed up for the ViralVue Pro plan, betting that month one would be close to my worst. That bet has paid off. ViralVue has been a big part of this growth, and at $299.14 in October, the membership is easily covering itself now.
Beyond Amazon: YouTube and a New Pinterest Test
I’ll be honest about YouTube: nothing has come in from it yet. I’m still cross posting because a channel takes time to build, but for now every dollar in this report came from Amazon.
So this month I tried a new angle and started a Pinterest account. Oink for Influencers released a tool that turns Amazon product URLs into Pinterest images, which made it easy to test whether visual pins can pull in some extra income. Pinterest users are often in planning and shopping mode, so it seems like a natural fit for product content. It’s too early for results, but I’ll report back next month.
Looking Ahead
Month three is in the books at $299.14, 5,189 clicks, 244 videos, and a brand new Pinterest experiment. November brings Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the biggest shopping stretch of the year, so I want to keep uploading at a strong pace, lean into holiday gift products, and grab every Creator Connections campaign that fits.
If you’re early in the Amazon Influencer Program, here’s my month three takeaway: the videos stack. Each one keeps earning after you post it, so the work you put in during a slow month is still paying you months later.
