    How would you make an extra $1,000 in a month?

    Today we're asking people:

    How would you make an extra $1,000 in 30 days?

    1000 copywriting course moneyThe methods for people to make a measly 100 bucks broke down like this (into three types):1.) Just save the $100  – (also called “The Boring As Shit” method):
    • Save $100 by preparing your own meals and not eating out.
    • Cut out a gym membership.
    • Other boring methods to save $100.
    -or-2.) Doing more of what you already do to make an extra $100  – (Fair enough):
    • If you have a job = work 3 extra hours.
    • If you’re a bartender = Work one extra shift.
    • If you’re a freelancer = Find one extra gig or raise rates.
    • If you have extra electronics = Throw a yard sale or sell them on eBay.
    -or-3.) Making an extra $100 by HUSTLING up some money – (Ok now we’re using some imagination)!
    • Becoming an Uber or Lyft driver over the weekend.
    • Go to TaskRabbit and grab some gigs.
    • Mowing lawns, installing peep holes in doors, detailing cars, plowing snow etc…
    • Go up to a business and say “I need $50, I can do anything you need.”
    • Buy water from supermarket, keep it cool, sell it at the beach.
    • Post on Craigslist to design a webpage or do SEO for cheap.
    • Take pictures with a nice camera in tourists destinations, charge $5 and email the pictures.
    • Sell your body to desperate old ladies (I’m assuming this one was a joke).
    • See yesterday’s comments for a crap-ton of other ideas.
    Basically put relatively little effort into making this extra $100 because it’s easy.  So let’s make this comment thread even MORE interesting:Let’s say I kidnapped your dog, and won’t give him back unless you come up with an extra $1,000….

    How would you make an extra $1,000 in 30 days??

     Sincerely,

    Perfect plan! But maybe make it more specific, then you could actually DO this!

    Omg Lauren....I USED TO DO THIS!!!

    I remember buying my first one, it was a restaurant in Austin called Marisco Grill (or something like that).

    I did this for a bunch of places, then offered to sell them the website for $100 (I was kinda dumb back then and didn't really know how to price).

    I'm not sure if it was classified as web design or extortion :-P

    Yup, this would work.

    Typical [Create landing page] + [Collect Emails] + [sell them something] = Certain percentage would buy kinda thing!

    Isn't it crazy how much hustle drive being desperate gives you??

    True, you could do that and it would probably make you the $1,000. You could probably even offer to help people actually pick a domain for $500/piece!

    Actually this would probably make you the $1,000 almost instantaneously. My friend Ramit teaches a lot about this stuff and does a great job at it!

    I like the class thing, although you could probably charge more.

    I always wish a trainer would do a class called like "Leg Blast Day" or something.....and have a circuit, and one of the stops is a masseuse

    ....basically something more creative that JUST a bootcamp

    I always thought it'd be cool to host a free Wordpress class for beginners where everyone brings their laptop. The only catch is all the services they signup for (hosting, aweber, themes, plugins), get bought through your affiliate links

    Nice! I bet you could call your sessions "Double Your Climbing Speed In 30 Minutes" to get people a bit excited.

    Very niche sport, but could def make you an extra $1,000!

    FYI your answer might be the same for tomorrow's question then :)

    Yes I understand you can save...

    --but--

    You can only save so much. Whereas if you try to earn more money, you can earn an infinite amount more.

    Also I don't wanna be living with a roommate and eating PB&J everyday.

    I save, but not to where it hinders the fun of life.

    Hahahha.....this actually would probably work!

    You could spin using SquareSpace as:

    Hmmm....if you're selling unique products I bet just ONE large hotel contract could make you that extra $1000!
