  7. Tap ‘Update Your Page’.
  8. Update your profile photo. Tap the camera icon in the small box and choose a photo from your Photo Library or Take Photo. Your profile photo will be used to represent your identity as an influencer. It will be shown in circle and square formats in different places on Amazon.

Creating content

Now that you have the basics of your Storefront set up, it’s time to create content! Below are the types of content you can create and share on your influencer Storefront. Click on each to learn more.

Idea Lists: An Idea List is the perfect tool for enabling your followers to shop your top product picks on Amazon. By grouping your recommendations into categories—aka Idea Lists—your followers get an organised, on-demand, and curated shopping experience. They can access your curated lists of suggestions at any time and know that they’re already sorted by theme for quick browsing and buying.

Shoppable Photos: Shoppable Photos are just what they sound like: your images, displayed on your Storefront, with tagged links to Amazon product detail pages. Shoppable Photos are a tool to tell your stories and share your tips with your audience through lifestyle visuals and captions.
