Vice /hustle AMAZON RESELLERS ARE EARNING OVER $100K PER YEAR AS A SIDE HUSTLE While it might not seem easy to earn much of a profit from selling merchandise online, evidence points to the possibility of earning a solid — or at least supplementary — income from reselling items on Amazon. One motivated reseller, a 16-year-old high schooler, made a profit of $110,000 in a year from doing just that: selling in-demand items during the pandemic for a profit, such as outdoor heaters and collective Pokémon cards. With a savvy eye in selecting what to resell, becoming a vendor on Amazon could become a lucrative side hustle to those who know what they're doing.
