This video is about the speaker's journey to become an Amazon affiliate. Initially, the speaker applied for the program but didn't qualify due to not having enough followers. After months of grinding on YouTube and reaching 100 subscribers, the speaker applied again and made some commissions. However, they still didn't have enough followers. It wasn't until Christmas day of 2020 that the speaker finally reached 500 subscribers and was accepted into the program. They made around $7 in commissions within the first seven days. The speaker also mentions having 4,000 hours of watch time on their YouTube channel. Despite not knowing Amazon's specific focus on watch time or views, the speaker is now a successful Amazon affiliate for the past 13 months.
