A MAN says he has discovered the world's easiest side hustle that anyone can do with just a few clicks of a mouse.
TikToker Clay the Hustler says he has found a solution for people wanting to earn extra cash without over-exerting themselves.
He claimed that the "stupid easy" side gig could earn you a whopping £180,000 in passive income in his latest TikTok video.
The self-proclaimed online money mogul, who boasts nearly 175,000 followers, detailed his get-rich-quick scheme in the clip.
Clay suggested many people had overlooked the simplicity of selling their own products – as he says it can be done without a lot of hassle.
He explained it was a business venture he "wished he knew about sooner" as it has the potential for great financial reward.

The TikToker told social media users to head to Etsy and search for a simple product such as pillowcases.
To demonstrate the process, he chose a basic design before assessing how well the seller was performing on the e-commerce site.
Clay said: "This person is selling a normal pillow design for $24 (£19) and they have made about 11,000 sales.
"They would earn about a quarter of a million dollars in profit and that's all from selling a normal pillow design.

"So let me show you how simple it is to set that up."
The side hustle connoisseur then instructed his followers to head over to a custom printing company's website, Printful, where you can sign up for free.
He then showed how he scoured the site's product section before finding the pillowcases they had on offer.
Clay continued: "For this example, we're going to choose this all over print basic pillow. From here you can click start designing.
"Now instead of putting a regular design like the one we went over, you can put something like a popular meme or even a really popular cartoon that you've seen go viral.
"So from here you can click on choose file to upload your new picture.
"You can click mockup view to see what it looks like as well. And that's it!"
The video then showed a prototype of his pillowcase creation, with Clay opting to choose a funny meme that is popular online.
He said you can then connect your Printful account to your Etsy account, which then merges the two.
The TikToker added: "What this does is it eliminates you having to do anything.
"When you get an order on Etsy, Etsy will alert Printful and Printful will make the pillow and ship it straight to the customer without you having to do anything.
"You don't have to pay for any cost either, because they will deduct that from the profit you earn."
Clay also advised his followers to boost their sales by using keywords that will push you higher in the search rankings on the internet.
"Obviously don't just stop at one pillow guys – make as many as you can, the more listings you have the more you will make," he said.
"This is pretty much all automated and passive other than making the pillow designs."
Social media users were impressed with his savvy side hustle suggestion, but others questioned Clay's knowledge in the comment section.
Some pointed out that he had confused profit with revenue, while established Etsy sellers said he forgot to mention that the site takes a chunk of the cash in fees.
As well as this, Clay didn't seem to take into account any costs people may incur for the actual products or shipping.
One wrote: "That's revenue kiddo! These people use money on ads, SEO, and promotion to pull that off. Plus Etsy takes commission!"
Another said: "Awesome. I'm interested!"
A third added: "Opened my Etsy account for a year. Only made 20 sales for now so nah.
"The problem is always how to get sales instead of how to make a product."
A fourth chimed in: "You still have to pay Printful so you aren't making $24 a pillow."
And a fifth commented: "Talk about how Etsy is a pool and you have to do a lot of marketing. It's not a lazy job."
