Anybody right here taking part? I obtained invited to affix and did based mostly on my wrongly preconceived notions of the way it works. I shortly discovered it is a tiered based mostly system the place you begin out solely having the ability to request stuff that is underneath $100. Most of it’s waaay underneath $100. IOW, low cost stuff. Then to get to the Gold tier, the place the upper priced stuff is, it’s important to overview a minimum of 100 objects and 90% of all of the objects you purchase inside your probation interval, which is 6 months. That is about one merchandise each two days. Plus the worth of the objects are thought of revenue, so there is a 1099 and the accompanying tax hit there. Amazon bases your estimated tax as 20% of the worth of all of the objects you get. So the stuff is not actually free in any respect. Extra like an 80% low cost.
Regardless of all that, I figured I might discover issues I might prefer to try to see how far I obtained. If I did not get to the Gold tier, no biggie. However after 3 days of trying via the obtainable stuff, I discovered nothing that I believed was of worth to me and opted out of this system. I am both a little bit of a product snob or I’ve very targeted pursuits and nothing outdoors of that appears value my time. I joined the AmazonVine subredit for a couple of days. It appears there are of us who do the Vine factor as a serious passion or facet hustle or perhaps a full time job. I am going to go away it to them.
