How To Find Amazon Influencers [GUIDE]
Driving Amazon Sales is challenging and it’s only getting more difficult.
What with algorithm updates now prioritizing driving external traffic to Amazon product listings.
Luckily, Amazon Influencers are one of the most effective Amazon external traffic sources.
In fact, did you know that most Amazon Sales for best-selling products don’t originate on Amazon?
If you run most best-selling products on Amazon through a tool like Sellzone, you will see most of their sales originate off Amazon as referrals from blogs, YouTube & more.
Take a look…
Where Do Amazon Influencers Promote Brands?
To find Amazon Influencers, you’ll want to know where they promote brands.
When you think of the term ‘influencer” it may conjure thoughts of Instagram, but the truth is they promote everywhere.
Going back to 1996 when Amazon launched the Amazon Associates Program, savvy brands have been partnering with Amazon Influencers on message boards, emails and blog posts.
Now, there are far more options and Amazon Influencers are promoting anywhere they have a platform.
In other words, anywhere they have “influence” over their audience.
So when you’re thinking about where to find Amazon Influencers you head to the most popular and powerful channels where you can find Amazon Influencers promoting brands:
Amazon Influencer Promotional Channels:
- YouTube
- Blogs
- Twitch
- TikTok
- Facebook Groups
- Amazon Live
- Amazon Storefronts
- Email List Subscribers
- Podcasts (Show Notes & Description)
- Quora
- Medium
- Industry-Specific Message Boards
You can likely see the throughline.
Anywhere you can easily share links and give recommendations.
If you’re looking for examples of each, I’d encourage you to check out our Amazon Influencer Examples post.
Now that you know where they are, you can likely see why it’s hard to find Amazon Influencers.
In a sea of affiliate programs where Influencers can promote any product they choose, you can imagine it’s difficult finding the ones promoting products on Amazon.
What’s more? Those are the ones Amazon wants Amazon Sellers to partner with.
So, how do you find Amazon Influencers?

How To Find Amazon Influencers Manually
Instead of using simple software to find Amazon Influencers, you could search each platform for them individually.
The trick is, not everyone is an Amazon Influencer.
So asking where to find Amazon Influencers isn’t as simple as anyone on Google, YouTube, or Social Media channels.
In other words, if you sell camping gear and you have a few favorite camping Instagram Influencers that you like, they may not be part of the Amazon Influencer Program.
The key is finding Influencers who are partnered with Amazon.
