AWS re:Invent runs November 30–December 4, 2026. Free livestream registration opens November 9 and includes streamed sessions, guided hands-on labs, selected advanced chalk talks and live Q&A. This does not provide in-person conference access; the standard full conference pass costs $2,499.
Details: Free registration applies only to the online offering. In-person attendance requires a paid conference pass.
Delivery driving with your own vehicle in blocks you choose in the Flex app. Requires age 21+, a driver's license, a qualifying vehicle and a smartphone. Amazon cites typical pay of $18 to $25 an hour.
Why I recommend it: Expect vehicle costs (gas, wear, insurance) to come out of that range. The page doesn't mention background checks, pay timing or contractor status, so read the terms before you sign up.
Amazon Web Services executive insights hub featuring articles, videos, and interviews on reimagining business strategy, operations, and technology with cloud and AI.
Amazon's free training library for sellers: videos and guides on listing products, fulfilment, advertising and growing a store.
Why I recommend it: Free to watch, but it's Amazon teaching you to sell on Amazon — selling itself carries monthly and per-item fees. Compare against other channels before committing.
Free, full-time cloud skills program for unemployed and underemployed adults, with employer connections.
Why I recommend it: No tech background required and it ends in interviews, not just a certificate. Check local delivery partners for the next cohort date.
Amazon's $30 million accelerator for pre-seed founders from underrepresented backgrounds, offering equity-free cash, AWS credits, hands-on technical architecture support, mentorship, and introductions to venture capital networks.
In plain terms: This program supports early-stage startups led by Black, women, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ founders. Eligible entrepreneurs can apply to receive cash funding, cloud credits, technical guidance, and mentorship to grow their businesses.
Why I recommend it: Equity-free money plus cloud credits is rare. Best fit if you already have a working prototype and a small amount of traction.
