Since I know I’ll eventually spend the money on Amazon, an Amazon gift card is pretty much as good as cash these days.
But why would you buy Amazon gift cards when you can get them for free?
When focused on this side hustle, Mike typically made anywhere from $150-300/week and has earned over $50,000 in total working on tasks right from his computer at home.
Having worked on Amazon Mechanical Turk for 2 and a half years (completely as a side hustle), he’s done over 150,000 tasks (called HITs, or Human Intelligence Tasks).
With a ton of ways for people to make money, there’s no wonder why Amazon is at at the center of so many side hustles these days.
The innovative–if not controversial–Seattle company still has its core retail business, but has expanded in many different directions. For entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and everyone else looking to earn some extra cash, Amazon probably has an option for you.
I have several Amazon income streams myself!
Ever wish you could get a piece of the Amazon pie?
Corey Ganim of coreyganim.com did just that, banking $3.2 million in sales by selling other people’s products on the e-commerce giant’s platform.
And he didn’t have to deal with the massive upfront costs and headaches of manufacturing his own products.
Corey got started in early 2019 and went full-time with his unique wholesale business model by mid-2020.
He’s since built a multi-million-dollar business buying brand-name inventory at wholesale prices and reselling it on Amazon at a profit.
In this episode, Corey shares his best tips and insights featured in his book, The 5 Pillars of Amazon Wholesale and his free Wholesale Challenge training.
Can you really get paid for Amazon reviews?
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is it depends on your writing skills, social media influence, and even what you consider as “getting paid.”
And that’s the topic of this post.
Can you really make money as an Amazon product tester?
If you love testing new products and sharing your opinion, it could be a great side hustle for you.
But beware of companies offering to pay you to test and review products — it’s likely a scam.
Last month, I did an episode on the 17 different income streams I was working on.
One of the smallest on that list generated the largest response, and that was the Amazon Influencer Program.
Buying products for a low price and selling them for a higher price can be a quick way to multiply money, but what if you could find profit from the comfort of your home?
This is the promise of online arbitrage.
Online arbitrage is the process of buying inventory from one site to resell on another. It’s amazing to me that this is a thing, but it very much is.
Royalties from book sales is one of the most passive of all my income streams.
After you create a book, with print or digital distribution handled by Amazon, you can collect royalties for years.
And while I enjoy the writing process and have published several titles myself, I have yet to venture into the world of children’s books.
Create a design.
Upload it to a store.
Earn passive royalties whenever it sells.
That’s the passive income dream, and that’s the premise behind the Merch by Amazon and print-on-demand side hustles.
