Andreea Matei made a bunch of video reviews for Amazon products. Then all of a sudden the money started pouring in.
According to a CNBC report, Matei caught the bug for reviewing Amazon products as a side hustle when she first received $1.28 in commission based on one of her short videos. Since then she has made close to $22,000 in eight months from approximately 1,000 videos.
Amazon has an influencer program that pays members a commission based on sales that take place after a consumer watches a video review.
In November, Matei decided to give it a try and it wasn't long before she was hooked.
