3. Create A clothing review YouTube channel
Do you love wearing fashionable clothes? Then this side hustle idea is just for you.
It’s a real passive income. Here you need to purchase trendy fashion clothes and create a detailed review video. And then upload it on YouTube.
To make better review videos, make sure you wear the dress and speak about everything that you think about the dress. (For example, how comfortable it is, fitting and looks, design and style)

The best way to get more eyeballs to your video is the “trend”. Go to Google or YouTube and look for what is currently trending and purchase dresses accordingly.
For example, in winter, find the best winter fashion clothing and create a full in-depth review.
4th Step: –
Finally, it’s time to grab your affiliate link and put it in the description section of your video.
That’s it…
Earning potential
Let me do a little math for you…
For example, let’s suppose you buy a dress for $50. You create a review video and get 100k views on it.
Now suppose, only 100 people buy from your affiliate link, it means your total sale is $50*100 = $5000…
Let’s calculate the commission. If your affiliate commission is 5%. It mean your total commission is ($5000*5)/100 = $250.
And your gross profit is $250 — $50 = $200
So from here, you can earn $200 or even more. Earnings depend on your commission & sales.
