Selling on Amazon is a game of visibility. If customers can’t see your product, they won’t buy it—simple as that. But what if you could showcase your products live, answer questions instantly, and drive impulse buys like a home shopping channel? That’s exactly what the Amazon Live Program offers.
In fact, Amazon reported that live videos featuring influencers helped increase product page traffic by over 40% during peak events like Prime Day. If you’re not tapping into this, you’re leaving serious revenue on the table.

Let’s break it down.
What Is Amazon Live?
Amazon Live is Amazon’s live-streaming platform where sellers and influencers host live product demos, answer questions, and directly link viewers to purchase. Think QVC meets Instagram Live—except it’s built into the world’s largest e-commerce platform.
As a seller, this means you can promote your products in real-time, increase discoverability, and build trust through human connection. Viewers can interact via live chat, see product details, and make purchases without ever leaving the stream.
Why It’s a Big Deal for Sellers
Here’s what makes the Amazon Live Program worth your attention:
- Real-time engagement: Talk to customers instantly. Answer objections. Build confidence.
- Increased visibility: Your live stream shows up on your product detail page, Amazon Live homepage, and even in search results.
- Impulse buying: Shoppers love urgency. Live content triggers fast decisions.
- Influencer reach: You can team up with Amazon influencers who bring their own audiences.
According to Statista, live commerce sales in the U.S. reached $17 billion in 2022, and Amazon is riding that wave fast.
How Amazon Influencers Help Sellers Go Live on Amazon
What Is an Amazon Influencer?
An Amazon influencer is a content creator who has been approved by Amazon to create a storefront and host live streams. They typically already have a social media following—on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram—and can bring that audience directly to your product.
Amazon pairs influencers with sellers to boost product exposure. These influencers use their personality, trust factor, and real-time interaction to influence purchasing decisions during live broadcasts.
How Sellers Benefit from Influencer Collaborations
Here’s where it gets interesting for Amazon sellers.
Influencers bring traffic. Lots of it. And not just random views—targeted traffic from audiences that already trust the influencer.
Case Study: Keshia Chante, an Amazon Live influencer, promoted a beauty product during a 30-minute live stream. The result? A 37% spike in sales within 24 hours, and the product climbed to page one in its category rankings.
Even better, you don’t need a huge budget. Many micro-influencers work on commission or flat fees that are accessible for small to mid-sized sellers.
Working with influencers also helps sellers:
- Save time: Influencers handle content creation and streaming.
- Build credibility: An endorsement from a trusted figure goes a long way.
- Drive conversions: Influencer content feels more personal and less salesy.
How to Find the Right Influencer
Use Amazon’s Creator Connections feature to search and invite influencers who match your niche. Alternatively, reach out to creators you already follow who are part of the Amazon Influencer Program.
Tip: Always look at their past streams, audience engagement, and product categories. You want someone who matches your brand voice and has an authentic connection with their followers.
Strategies to Maximize Sales with Amazon Live
Schedule Your Stream for Maximum Exposure
Timing matters. Research shows that the best performing live streams on Amazon happen:
- During major events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday
- Between 6 PM and 9 PM ET, when shoppers are most active
You can also promote your stream in advance using your brand’s social media, email list, and product listing.
Use Real-Time Engagement to Convert Viewers
During the live stream, interact like a pro:
- Answer questions in the chat
- Highlight product features and benefits
- Demonstrate real use cases
- Offer exclusive limited-time deals
When shoppers feel like they’re getting insider info or a deal they can’t miss, they’re more likely to purchase right then and there.
Add CTAs and Product Links Smartly
Make sure every product you mention is pinned in the carousel under the video. Include clear call-to-actions like “Click below to grab yours now” or “This deal ends in 10 minutes.”
Use overlays, banners, and pop-ups inside your live stream to keep the experience dynamic and clickable.
Analyze and Optimize
After your stream, check your Amazon Live analytics. You’ll find data on:
- Total views
- Click-throughs
- Units sold
- Conversion rate
Use this to refine your next stream. For instance, if most viewers dropped off after 10 minutes, shorten your future streams or hook them early with a giveaway or demo.
