Hailing it as the 'easy side hustle no one is talking about', she said it's particularly perfect if you've snapped up numerous items on Prime Day.
In a clip on her @renatarabuha account, she wrote: '"PSA: If you're buying all that stuff from Amazon on Prime Day, you should learn how to do review videos and make your money back.
'Doing this pays my mortgage every single month and I never post the reviews to social media."
She explained how Amazon pays her for making product review videos - but not the ones you see under the regular reviews.
Renata added: 'This is totally different.
'Amazon has a program that literally anybody can join.
'It's not an invite—you can apply for it. Literally anybody can do it, and there is a two-step approval process.
'But once you're in, it is so simple. Literally anybody can do it.
'What you do is take products you already have in your house, make a 30 to 60 second video, and post that video directly to Amazon.
'Those videos get shown on product listings.
I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy
Whenever somebody clicks on your video and watches it, you do get a commission.
'Last year, I made over $24,000 literally reviewing the stuff that I already had at home.'
HOW SHE DOES IT
Renata makes cash through the Amazon Influencer Program.
This allows content creators to earn commissions by posting video reviews, unboxings and how-to clips.
These videos appear directly on Amazon product listings, and if someone watches your video and makes a purchase, you earn a cut.
Anyone can apply, and no invite is required, and you get paid per qualifying purchase, not just views.
It's different from regular Amazon reviews you see, as the influencers get paid for their videos.
To qualify, you typically need an active social media account (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook) and a moderate following, but no huge audience required.

You need to be producing 'quality, authentic content' on your page.
The two-step verification process includes checking that you're a real content creator with an active presence and real engagement.
If you pass the first step, you'll be asked to submit 3 sample videos reviewing items.
Once approved, you'll get access to your own Amazon storefront and be able to post videos that appear on actual product listings.
From there, you can start earning commissions on qualifying purchases from viewers who watch your videos.

UK influencers can recommend products to your audience, and then earn a commission

IS IT IN THE UK?
The Amazon Influencer Program is available in the UK - but it is slightly different.
You first need to apply via amazon.co.uk/influencers and create a storefront.
Once this is done, you can create content and recommend products to your audience, and then earn a commission.
The website states: 'There are multiple ways you can earn.
'You can monetise your social media content by sharing your storefront URL or through affiliate links.
'We may also surface the content you have posted to your storefront to Amazon shoppers, allowing you to gain more followers and earn from new customers.'
However, many UK users report that video uploads don't appear on product pages, only in storefronts.
To reliably publish shoppable videos and earn commissions, most UK creators join via the US program, using products that are also listed on Amazon.com.

Multitasking budget primer behind Holly Willoughby's glow is on sale
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more We don't know about you, but we love watching people apply their make-up and are often curious about the contents of other people's beauty cupboards. So, for like-minded people on board our beauty curiosity boat, we have an insight into Holly Willoughby's beauty kit. According to the former This Morning presenter's makeup artist, Patsy O'Neill, a £11 primer from Super Facialist is behind the star's TV glow. Used before applying make-up, it provides an even canvas to apply products, and helps make-up looks last longer. And we're rushing out to buy 10 of them right now. Formulated with colour-correcting pigments to even the skin tone and texture, as well as hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, niacinamide for a clear complexion and cica to soothe and calm inflamed skin. This primer works to colour correct, hydrate, brighten and soothe the skin. It is a cruelty free and vegan formula, which is available in two shades: fair/light and medium/dark. BUY NOW FOR £11.33 (WAS £17) It's not surprising the primer is a hit, considering it has multiple functions: it doubles up as a base, colour corrector, nourishing moisturiser and soothing skin barrier repair cream. The vegan and cruelty-free formula contains colour-correcting pigments to blur any imperfections and create an even base for products to be applied on top of. The cream is also infused with skin-loving ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate the skin, niacinamide to reduce any excess oiliness and combat any blemishes, while cica has soothing properties to reduce any redness, breakouts and inflammation. This primer is available in two shades, including fair/light and medium/dark. More Trending Unsure which to pick? Super Facialist has detailed the best option for your skin type, and the method behind the madness – aka the colourful bottle. The fair/light product contains purple, green and peach formula inside, which may be off-putting for some. However, the colours blend beautifully on fair skin tones to colour correct. The green colour corrector combats any redness, purple counteracts any sallowness and hollows particularly the dark under eye area, while the peach tones brightens your complexion. The medium/dark option contains coffee, caramel and orange tones, which work to neutralise any redness, minimise the appearance of dark spots and circles as well as brighten the complexion. While you can layer it on after cleansing your skin and before applying your usual foundation, bronzer and blusher, you can also wear it on its own as a skin tint.

Is this the beginning of the end for price-matching policies?
Target is ending its policy of matching competitor prices from retailers such as Amazon and Walmart, effective 28 July. Introduced in 2013, the policy previously allowed price matching with Amazon, and Walmart; under the new rules, only prices will be matched. Retail analysts suggest this change reflects Target's ongoing financial challenges and efforts to improve profitability and margins. The company recently reported a 2.8 per cent drop in first-quarter sales, falling short of Wall Street's expectations. Target has encountered various financial headwinds, including economic uncertainty from a previous administration's tariff regime, rising inflation, and consumer boycotts. Here's why Target is ending its long-running 'price matching' policy this month
