I was broke and lazy so figured out how to earn extra cash in a few minutes and you don’t even need to leave your bed
A SIDE hustle fan has revealed how you can make extra money in just minutes without even needing to get out of your bed.
A growing number of cash-strapped Britons are looking for ways to earn extra cash online – and according to one woman, Cassie Schoonover, all you need is an account on Amazon.
The side hustle – becoming an Amazon affiliate – is perfect for those who are ”broke and lazy”, Cassie claimed.
Demonstrating the steps on TikTok, the young woman, believed to be from the US, told you first need to scroll all the way to the very bottom of the page.
There you should see a section that’s called ‘Make Money with Us’ – and underneath that is an option to click on ‘Become an Affiliate’.
After filling out the necessary details, Cassie told her followers to go back to the main page of Amazon and see what products are making high sales at the moment.
”Patio furniture is doing really good right now because summer is right around the corner.”
Once you’ve picked one you like – or believe will do great numbers – go to Pinterest and set up an account.
Here, the money whizz instructed, you can create a post that shows off the product, as well as the link to it.
”Whoever clicks on your affiliate link and makes a purchase, you will earn commission.”
Cassie added: ” I think this is a really good idea for those of you who don’t ever want to show your face and you still want to make money online.”
But despite winning a whopping 5.8million views in just one day, the clip caused a debate on social media.

For the most part, people insisted the side hustle wouldn’t be worthwhile and particularly profitable.
One critic said: ”hope everyone enjoys the $2-7 (£1.60-£5.60) they make over the next 5 years.”
Another warned: ”For anyone planning to do this, Pinterest is recently suspending accounts for doing this. so the best thing to do is to make yourself a free website.”
”I tried this but I have like no followers on Pinterest so not getting any leads,” someone else added.
”how much commission u earn tho? lol I gotta sell 1000 sets of patio furniture to make 100 bucks?” a fourth was rather sceptical.
However, there were also a positive comments, such as this one: ”Wow thank you. It was so easy.”
