I am not sure about that. I checked other karaoke channels on YouTube and not one of them had any Amazon links. Amazon wrote also in they policies something about original content. But I came p with another idea.
I don't put links under the karaoke videos, but I make new videos about karaoke equipment and under this videos I put Amazon links. In addition I make a website about karaoke equipment, and under all my karaoke videos, I link to my website.
My English is not good enough to understand all this clearly: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/policies

Hmm, yes, I suppose karaoke songs are not original, as you don't own the copyright to them.

Your other idea is better, but where are you going to get material for your YouTube channel? Images of the products etc? You can't screenshot them from Amazon.

Do remember, that even when you have been approved for your 3 sales, Amazon can still inspect your site at any time to ensure you are still keeping to the rules.

One of the members here had her account banned after several years and lost $600 which Amazon refused to pay.

I found this, but it is 3 years ago: https://www.quora.com/Can-I-use-affiliate-link-on-my-YouTube-videos
And an English friend of my rechecked the Amazon policies and didn't find anything what would be against the rule If I put links in the description box. The only thing I found was that I have to write "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.”

And you will also need a Privacy Policy.

I think the Privacy Policy only has to be on your website, not under your YouTube video as in this case YouTube has its Privacy Policy on they website already.

Well, as long as you think that it covers the fact that by a visitor clicking your Amazon link, it places a cookie in their browser. I am not sure of that particular point.

So you do have a blog in addition to YouTube.


You'd need write 15 - 20 posts addressing issues related to your niche and attracting traffic before you apply as they would inspect site for relevance and traffic prior approval.

I have also other websites and YouTube channels with my own content, but not so much traffic as of the karaoke channel. Maybe I concentrate more on my own content and wait for approval before I flood the karaoke channel with affiliate links, and the I have to remove them all gain.

That's great and good to know.

You'd need wait yes, because you can only use the material they would supply you with, they have very strict policies.

OK, thank you. I will then try to get more content to my other websites before I place Amazon adds and remove the YouTube channel in question from the Amazon application form.
