Amazon will pay more developers who make popular Alexa skills

Amazon expands cash rewards for high-performing Alexa apps beyond games to lifestyle, productivity, education apps, and more

Amazon: We’re thrilled to announce today that developers can earn money for the most engaging Alexa skills across more skill categories. Each month, developers of eligible skills with the highest customer engagement in the US, UK, and Germany are paid by Amazon.

In May, we began rewarding developers of top skills in the Games, Trivia & Accessories category. Now, we’re adding six more categories: Education & Reference, Food & Drink, Health & Fitness, Lifestyle, Music & Audio, and Productivity.

Developers can increase engagement and potentially earn more by improving their skills, making more skills, and making their skills available in more countries. Learn more.
