How to Find the Most Profitable Products to Review in the Amazon Influencer Program

In the Amazon Influencer program, your earnings come down to one decision: which products you review. Most people get this wrong in one of two ways. They either buy new products just to review them (which puts them in the red from day one), or they look around the house and guess at what might sell.

Guessing doesn't work. I pulled up the three products that earned me the most over the last 30 days, and what they have in common will probably surprise you. None of them are flashy. All of them follow the same pattern. Once you see it, you can find the same opportunities in your own home, for free, and start growing your commissions right before the holiday season.

Why Product Selection Is the Biggest Lever You Have

There are very few business models where you can start with almost no capital and earn nearly pure profit. The Amazon Influencer program is one of them. That's the leverage, and the way you use it is by starting with what you already have and learning to recognize which of those products are worth your time.

Every review video you make is a small asset. Pick the right product and that asset pays you month after month. Pick the wrong one and it sits there earning nothing.

My Top 3 Earners From the Last 30 Days

To find these, I opened the Amazon app, tapped the person icon, went to Amazon Influencers > Creator Central, and clicked Top Linked Products to see where my clicks were going. (Amazon used to show a detailed daily commission report by product, but that view isn't available right now.)

Here are the three that stood out:

A glass food storage container set: 28 clicks this month alone.
A DVD/disc cleaner: I reviewed it almost two years ago, and it's been earning ever since.
A plastic round table: consistently on my list, every single month.

Look at that list. A food container, a DVD cleaner, and a plastic table. If you'd seen these on a shelf, you probably would have thought, "There's no way I'd make money reviewing that." That's exactly the point. You have to drop that kind of thinking and follow the numbers instead.

The 3 Metrics That Tell You a Product Will Earn

You can't tell how well a product is doing just by looking at its Amazon page. You need something like a pair of X-ray glasses to see the data behind it. I use ReviewPro, which places a dashboard on top of every Amazon product page. Here are the three numbers I check first.

1. Pro Score

The Pro Score rates how good of an opportunity a product is based on two things: demand and competition. A high score means lots of people are buying it and not many influencers are fighting for attention on the page.

2. 30-Day Sales (Demand)

Your commissions depend on how many people see your video and then buy. More shoppers on the page means more eyeballs on your content. The storage containers had around 2,000 sales in 30 days, which is a lot of potential viewers.

Pair that with 30-day revenue. Your commission is a percentage of the price, so a product doing $60K a month means even a 1–2% share would be a great result.

3. Influencer Video Count (Competition)

How many other influencer videos are already on the product page? How many are in the top carousel? And where does your video land: top, bottom, or buried? The fewer videos there are, the more often Amazon rotates yours into view.

Why These "Boring" Products Win

Run my top three through those metrics and the pattern is obvious:

Steady, year-round demand. The DVD cleaner isn't seasonal. People buy it every month, which makes it a constant stream of income.
Strong placement. My videos show up at both the top and the bottom of these product pages, so more shoppers see them.
A solid price point. The table costs more than most household items, so each sale pays a better commission.

So the two questions to ask about any product are simple: Is there real demand, meaning are people buying it and will they see my video? And how much competition is there, meaning how easy will it be for my video to get seen?

Find the Goldmines You Already Own

This is where it gets fun. You probably already own a handful of high-earning products and just don't know which ones.

Go to your Amazon order history. With ReviewPro installed, the dashboard appears on every product you've ever ordered. Click the button in the bottom right and it pulls everything into one table with columns for Pro Score, ASIN, 30-day revenue, 30-day sales, video placement, and influencer video count.

Then sort from highest to lowest. In my own history, the top-ranked item had a Pro Score of 80. It sells around 300 times a day and has only six influencer videos on the page. With that few videos, Amazon cycles through them constantly, so the odds of my video being seen are incredibly high.

You can page through hundreds of products this way. Focus on the same three numbers every time: Pro Score, 30-day sales, and influencer video count.

Ask Friends and Family (This Is My Secret Weapon)

Your own house isn't the only source. Ask the people closest to you something like:

"Hey, I'm working on a little side hustle. Would you be comfortable letting me review a few of your products? I have a tool that can find the 10 best ones in your order history."

One of my best-earning reviews ever is a solar generator that belongs to my aunt. It's worth around $5,000 and sells a ton on Amazon. I never would have had access to it if I hadn't asked. And if I'd just walked through her house guessing, I would have missed it among all the other stuff she owns.

Don't Buy Products Just to Review Them (Yet)

The moment you start buying products only to review them, you're in the negative. Start with what you and your circle already have. Use the data to prioritize. Once that's working and paying you, then you can think about buying.

Key Takeaways

Stop guessing. Let demand and competition data decide what you review.
Check three numbers: Pro Score, 30-day sales, and influencer video count.
"Boring" products with steady, year-round demand often earn the most.
Sort your Amazon order history to find high-value products you already own.
Ask friends and family. Their homes may hold your best earners.
Avoid buying products just to review them until you're profitable.
