Goldmine Butler — find brands already paying creators in your niche

Scan other creators' Amazon storefronts for #ad / #partner content to identify brands you should pitch — the brands already spending on sponsored posts.

What Goldmine Butler does

Goldmine Butler is a research tool, not a posting tool. It scans other creators' Amazon storefronts for content tagged with #ad, #partner, paid-partnership disclosures, or sponsored mentions. The output is a list of brands you now know are actively paying for influencer marketing — which means they're prime pitch targets for you.

The logic is simple: brands that paid Creator A in your niche are probably the same brands worth pitching as Creator B in your niche. Goldmine Butler surfaces them by scanning storefronts you specify.

Before you start

  • A signed-in Amazon session in Chrome — Goldmine Butler uses your existing session.
  • 3-5 creator storefront URLs in your niche. Quality over quantity — pick people whose audience overlaps with yours.
  • A small list of niche-specific keywords (e.g. "skincare", "running shoes", "kitchen gadget"). Narrow keywords produce signal; broad ones produce noise.

Running your first scan

  1. Open Goldmine Butler under Amazon Butler.
  2. In Storefront URLs to scan, paste 3-5 creator storefront links. Each gets its own input row — click "+ Add" to add more.
  3. In Keywords to match, add 3-5 narrow keywords. Goldmine Butler only flags content whose product title or tags match these.
  4. Max items per storefront — leave at the default for the first run.
  5. Click Run.

A Chrome window opens, walks each storefront, and harvests content matching your keywords. Results stream into the results table with ASIN, brand, product title, type of mention (ad / partner / mention), and the originating creator/storefront.

What to do with the results

The output is a starting point for pitching, not a finished list:

  • Filter the results table by brand to see how many different creators a single brand has paid. Brands paying multiple people in your niche are higher-priority pitches.
  • Pipe the brand list into Pitch Butler to track outreach — the Import buttons in Pitch Butler accept Goldmine results directly.
  • Search Amazon Creator Connections for those brands' active campaigns. If they have an open CC campaign and you're a fit, accept it before pitching cold.

Tuning over time

The two knobs that matter:

  • Storefront count — start with 3-5 in-niche creators. Adding more increases run time linearly. 10+ is overkill for most niches.
  • Keyword narrowness — "skincare" is too broad; "vitamin C serum" or "retinol cream" is the right level. The narrower the keyword, the higher the signal-to-noise.

Where the data goes

Results live in the preseed cache. The table view supports CSV export from the row toolbar if you want a spreadsheet copy.

Common gotchas

  • "Storefront returned no content" — usually means the creator's storefront is private, geo-restricted, or has no recent posts. Try a different storefront.
  • Results look generic — broaden the keywords. If you're matching on "skincare" you'll get every product, not just partnerships.
  • Manual sign-in prompt mid-run — Amazon rate-limited and bounced you to a verification page. Solve it in the Chrome window Goldmine Butler spawned and the run resumes.
