Original: ‘I was making no money’: Travel agent side hustle promoted by influencers criticised over fees

Critics argue the schemes oversell earnings potential while charging participants upfront costs, prompting calls for greater scrutiny of how such opportunities are marketed online.
Why now: Influencer-promoted side hustles are under fresh criticism for charging fees while promising income that rarely materialises.
