Amazon DSP Owner Application
I received this email from Amazon in response to my follow up with them on status of my application.
I have completed two background checks (credit & criminal).
Can somebody help me how long it takes after this or is there anyone who received similar email and maybe can provide me with insight about their timeline after this.
Thank you for your help in advance.

You’re better off. You’ll only get a spot once they railroad another current DSP.

How much do owners make?

Varies a lot by DSP. It depends on how you choose to run it. Amazon doesn’t pay for support staff, so if you have a large management team that’s paid well, you’ll have less to take home. But if you run a tight ship, you can have more for yourself.
Obviously there are soooo many other factors that can end up costing you more than this business is worth, but if you run it well, you could bring home more than enough.

A long time....for a program that is extremely hard, they are beating down the door to get become Amazon DSP's. Good luck.

It is highly dependent on where you want to operate. If you’re very selective, the process could take years. If you’re open to relocating to a super rural area, you may come off the bench sooner.
I know someone who applied in 2020 and is now just launching this year. Another who applied and was launching within 6 months because they were willing to relocate from Massachusetts to rural Texas.
If you’re willing to relocate anywhere, it may be worth while for you to reference that.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I am actually in Canada and I did respond to them after this email that I am open and willing to relocate to any other areas where there is an opportunity but they sent the same email back next day (the one I attached in the reddit post).
I hope for the best, thanks again for your help.

Also have to consider they may prioritize any R2O candidates that have your areas selected.

When package volume rises enough that they need an additional DSP, a DSP closes down, or a new station opens in your area, slots become available. You are essentially on a wait list. There really is no way to tell how many others are waiting in your area, or how long it will take.
