Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the best passive income side hustles. You share a unique link to products you use and recommend — when someone buys through your link, you earn 5–30% commission. Amazon Associates, AWIN, and ShareASale are great starting points. Works best with a blog, YouTube channel, or social media audience.
