#342 - Best Side Hustle of 2024 (Only 4 ...

Gael Breton & Mark Webster - Full Stack Online Marketers
About this episode

It's no secret that the industry has been struggling for nearly a year now following the HCU. And it's been particularly difficult for beginners to get started, as established sites have been dominating search results. 

So the question everyone’s asking is what future-proof tactics should beginners actually be doing in 2024? (That isn’t spammy or potentially illegal.)

 In this episode, we chat to Jared Bauman, co-host of the Niche Pursuits podcast, about the game-changing way he made an impressive $40k in only a few months, without driving traffic, showing his face, or spending a dime: the Amazon Influencer Program.
