FAQs
-
ABIDE Outsourcing is a Meta ads agency for Amazon influencers. We run Facebook and Instagram ads that send shoppers to influencers' Amazon storefronts and lists. ABIDE is a small, husband-and-wife team, Amy and Luke, based on the coast of South Carolina.
-
Only influencers in Amazon's managed program are eligible to run paid ads to their Amazon links, per Amazon's Operating Agreement. If you're not sure whether you qualify, ask your Amazon account manager before you start running ads.
-
You pay Meta to show your ad on Facebook and Instagram, and shoppers who click land on Amazon through your tagged link. Amazon pays you commission on the orders that ship. Because shipping takes about two days, your earnings show up about two days after the clicks that caused them.
-
ABIDE's full-service management covers ad setup, launching, daily monitoring, budget management, Creator Connections, and ongoing optimization. You get a daily performance report and a weekly update every Monday in Slack, a monthly report in Google Docs, and a quarterly feedback session. Budget changes based on the data are made with your approval.
-
ABIDE's full-service packages start at $2,200 per month, plus a one-time $500 onboarding fee for account setup and an audit. Packages are flat-rate and tiered by how many ads are running (up to 10, 20, or 30). Pricing is never based on your ad spend or profit.
-
For full-service management, ABIDE recommends a monthly ad budget of about $20,000 for significant results. If you're running your own ads, our Ad Account Starter Guide recommends starting each new ad at $50 per day.
-
A 1.3 ROI is a strong result for Amazon influencer ads, meaning you earn $1.30 in commission for every $1.00 you spend. ROI is your commission divided by your ad spend, so it runs lower than the 4x or 6x returns brands report on total sales. ABIDE aims to keep every account above 1.0 before Creator Connections earnings.
-
Your earnings lag about two days behind your clicks, because Amazon pays commission only after an order ships. Watch ordered items instead. An ad on day two with orders coming in and $0 in earnings is working.
-
Creator Connections are brand-funded campaigns in your Amazon dashboard that pay a bonus commission on top of your standard rate. Putting Creator Connections products at the top of the lists your ads send people to raises your earnings from the same clicks. It's one of the biggest levers for moving an ad from break-even to profitable.
-
No. You add ABIDE as a user in your Meta Business Suite and your Amazon Associates account, so we never need your logins. You can remove our access at any time.
-
Start by booking a free interest call on our website. Next, you'll complete a short application and receive pricing and service details. Once you're approved, we send your contract and invoice, then meet for an onboarding call to start your ads.
-
The Ad Account Starter Guide is ABIDE's self-paced system for Amazon influencers who want to run their own Meta ads. It includes interactive lessons, a Google Sheets tracker template, a simple decision framework for every ad, and Ad Lab, a 30-day campaign simulator that lets you practice with pretend money. It's $147 ($97 launch price through November 1, 2026), with lifetime access including future updates.
-
The Ad Account Starter Guide is for Amazon influencers who want to run Meta ads themselves, whether they're brand new or already running ads and feel like they're guessing. It's also a good fit if you're not ready for full-service management yet. Most people have a live ad by the end of their first day.
-
The Ad Account Audit is a review of your Meta ad account by one of ABIDE's ad specialists. You receive a recorded video walking through your account plus a written 30-day plan, with a verdict for every active ad and your top fixes ranked by priority. It's delivered within 5 business days of receiving your access and data, and costs $397 ($347 for Starter Guide owners with code STARTER50).
-
You need at least 14 days of ad activity within the last 30 days, a Meta Business Suite account with an ad account, and ads that point to your tagged Amazon links. You'll add our team to Meta and Amazon Associates and fill out a short form. If you're not at 14 days yet, you can still book, and we'll start as soon as your account is ready.
-
No. ABIDE only needs view access for an audit, and we never make changes to your account. The audit is fully asynchronous, with no call needed: we review your account, then show you what we found in your video and written plan.
-
Ad Team Direct Line is a private Slack channel with ABIDE's ad team for influencers who run their own ads. Send questions Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 ET, and get a same-day response for troubleshooting, decisions, and creative ideas. It's $497 per month, month to month, and Ad Account Audit clients get their first week free.
-
Choose the Ad Account Starter Guide if you want to learn to run your own ads, and the Ad Account Audit if your ads are live and you want an expert review. Choose Ad Team Direct Line for ongoing access to our team while you manage your own ads. Choose full-service management if you'd rather hand your ads off completely.
-
No. ABIDE doesn't guarantee results, because ad performance depends on your creative, your audience, your product picks, Amazon's shipping and returns, and Meta's ad auction. What we promise is our process: real numbers, a clear framework, and decisions made the way our specialists make them every day.
-
The Ad Account Starter Guide is a digital product with instant access, so all sales are final. The Ad Account Audit is non-refundable once our team has received your account access and data and started your review.
