What It Is
Sign up on a platform, the presenter names Hayday Social and SideShift, that matches everyday content creators with brands and products. You're sent or already own a product, then film a short-form video reviewing or demonstrating it, user-generated content, or UGC, which brands use in their own marketing. This overlaps with, but is distinct from, becoming an Amazon Influencer Program reviewer.
The Pitch
The presenter frames this as one of the most flexible options on her list: no on-camera personal brand to build, no consistent posting schedule to maintain, just matching with a product and creating a single video about it whenever you want.
Who It’s Best For
Someone who enjoys talking about products they like on camera in short-form video but doesn't want to build an ongoing personal brand or a large following first.
The Truth (as we see it)
This section of the video is brief and general, no specific pay rates, no named brand deals, and no results from the presenter's own use of either platform are shown, so there's no way to gauge typical income from this description alone.
Our assessment, based on the video and what’s typical across similar videos. We don’t independently verify income claims or prices.
