Hey, it's Niall 👋

I'm excited to bring you today's newsletter.

The first story is a beginner-friendly side hustle that you can earn good money from in only a few hours per week 😍

You know I'm usually super skeptical of such claims. 

I even killed a story along the same lines a few weeks back because we couldn't verify it 100%.

But this one definitely checks out 👍

See for yourself below.

I've also got some new videos and a fresh batch of Momentos for you at the bottom of the email.

Enjoy!

AMAZON | AFFILIATE MARKETING | BUSINESS IDEAS

$40,000 in Year 1 With a 4-Hour Work Week

Check out this interview on YouTube with Jared Bauman.

Jared started with the Amazon Influencer Program back in May 2023 and earned $40,000 in 12 months, despite only working an average of 4.5 hours per week on it 🤯

Basically he uploaded a video review for every product he owned that was listed on Amazon.

When people watch one of his review videos and make a purchase, Jared earns a commission 🤑

So it's affiliate marketing, except you don't need to have a website or drive traffic.

Your only job is to record and upload review videos. Amazon takes care of the rest 👍

Here are a few video reviews on Amazon to give you an idea…

• Tape measure

• USB adapter

• Book

To be clear: those aren't Jared's videos, just some random examples I found on Amazon.

But as you can see, they aren't exactly high quality productions – you can record these on your phone – and you don't even have to show your face 🙈

Sounds easy, right?

A couple of caveats though 👇

First: to get approved for the program you need to have an engaged social media profile with around 2000+ followers.

However, Jared says this isn't too hard on a platform like TikTok, where you can post a few videos, spend around $50 on ads, and build up a decent following pretty quick.

(Pro tip: get your cat to star in the videos 😸)

Second: to earn $40,000 that first year, Jared uploaded 1200 videos.

Which works out to 3.2 videos per day.

Sounds like a lot, but Jared says each video took him only 7-8 minutes to make and he did them in batches.

Now you might be thinking like I did: how the hell did he have 1200 products to review? 🧐

Well, he started by reviewing everything in his house that was listed on Amazon. Then he reviewed items belonging to friends and family. 

And now he just reviews the 5-6 new items he orders off Amazon each week 📦

So his pace has slowed, but he's still earning money from items he reviewed over a year ago, plus the newer items he's reviewed.

Consider giving this a try yourself if you're looking for a low effort side hustle.

As a bonus, once you get comfortable making these kinds of videos, you could branch out and earn more money as a UGC creator for brands 💪

#1 Beginner-Friendly Side Hustle in 2024

Today's email is brought to you by Product Review Profits.

That's a new training by Authority Hacker and the guy you just read about, Jared Bauman.

They're calling it "the easiest way to make $100/day in 2024"

A big claim, but I've seen inside the training and it's hard to argue.

Jared made $40k in Year 1 – that's $109/day – doing what he teaches 😎

And he did it without…

❌ Building a website
❌ Having to drive ANY traffic
❌ Having product to sell
❌ Dedicating more than 5 hours a week

The training just went on sale and they're offering a 50% launch discount.

BUILD IN PUBLIC | GETTING CLIENTS

Shared Their Work on X, Then This Happened…

Sahil Vhora tweets…

Here’s the tweet in question, where he shares design work he did for a client whose startup got acquired.

75 leads from one tweet… that's the power of "building in public" or "showing your work" 💪

Another example of this comes from Lera Clipwing, who tweeted a 20-second video and wrote…

To which the CEO of @lmsqueezy replied…

That led to a shoutout in a popular marketing newsletter (130k subs).

😍 Which resulted in even more exposure and inquiries for Lera…

Two great examples there of people creating big opportunities for themselves.

Sahil leveraged the success of a project he worked on, showed off how he contributed, and got a lot of inbound as a result.

Whereas Lera did some free and unsolicited work for someone with a big audience, posted it online, and reaped the rewards 🥳

It's a good reminder that there are 2 main parts to success in business…

1. Doing the thing

2. Selling the thing

You can be great at #1 but that's useless in isolation.

#2 is what gets people knocking on your door, eager to give you money 💰

With that in mind, ask yourself…

• What work are you proud of?

• What if you shared or talked about it online this week?
