Direct answer:<\/strong> A qualifying purchase is a sale that Amazon attributes to your content and pays commission on. For onsite videos, it generally means a shopper watched your video on a product page or storefront and then bought that exact product or one of its variants. For offsite Associates links, it means a purchase made within 24 hours of clicking your link. If your video earned nothing, the usual causes are that the shopper bought a different product, the video was not placed or shown, the product has no traffic, the purchase was returned, or the video broke a program rule and was removed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is the question creators ask around week six, when the Associates report shows views but the earnings column stays at zero. The answer is almost always one of a short list of attribution rules. This guide defines the term, walks through every reason a video with views earns nothing, and gives a checklist to diagnose your own account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you would rather have the product research done for you, the free ACE training<\/a> from Zonbase shows how to find products with demand, the right commission rate and a video gap in minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
