    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,

    Oh wow.....that price sounds WAY too low! You could probably charge students $20/month easily.

    Only problem would be getting people to signup

    - Hit the phones and make more sales calls for Rocketcases (ie. make Nev buy some AppSumo branded cases =) )

    - Create some niche Kindle books

    - Create a Udemy course

    - Figure out something super easy (not time related) to sell on Fiverr

    - Find a group on meet up and do a talk for them then sell your services/products afterwards

    - Pitch some web services to friends' businesses

    Great way of thinking about it Oscar! By breaking it down by the day, it really doesn't seem so intimidating. And maybe just a few days work with some of these ideas can get you to $1,000!

    NevBox Worthy list!

    Cool idea, now you gotta sell some subscriptions. I bet you could co-host a virtual session on spending time with your kids by building stuff with blogger with an audience.

    Oh NICE!!! It's cool when you do "work" for someone with a following, then get more work based off doing work FOR them.

    Keep this up and your business will slowly snowball into something larger!

    I would start a kickstarter dedicated to the promotion of myself as the most famous man in the world. My whole premise for promotion would lie in giving back, and being the coolest famous person ever, like an extra dope Bill Murray.

    I'd hook the public up with limo rides all the time, be a great role model and promote great causes for free from my new title as "Most Famous Man in the World".

    Once the kickstarter was up and running, I'd just get out there and hustle my way to Most Famous Man in the World...I'm sure I could make 1K off of that after a month. T-shirt sales alone would be through the roof!

    Bwahahhaa.....yeah I think you should stick to SEO as that might be more lucrative that stealing....I mean.....taking people's groceries out from Wal-Mart!

    Maybe if you faked a handicap you'd get bigger tips ;)

    1.) You can have them pay half upfront and half later. Solves the problem!

    2.) If the online course doesn't work, I bet you could even host a class in person.
