    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,

    That's actually a great solution Dave, maybe even NevBox worthy!

    Oh man, you could probably easily make $1000 from a 1,000 person list if they like you!

    Hey Michael!

    1.) Yes this can work.

    2.) I think going through Udemy though totally rips YOU off. They basically try to get hundreds of people to signup to your course for free (so they can grow), rather than drive paying traffic to it.

    I've seen countless instructors help grow the Udemy platform this way (it's basically how they tell everyone to promote their courses), but the instructor ends up with VERY few paid signups for the overwhelmingly large part.

    And most paid signups are through those 75% off promotions they do, meaning your $39 course will net you like $2/each.

    But thanks for the comment!

    WHAT!!! Nice job Alicia!! I guess instead of commenting you're actually picking up a check, so that's a fair substitute :)

    This could totally work....my only concern is that drop shipping is getting harder and harder each year. That's why I exited that game in 2011

    I'm curious why you would make a course on Udemy, rather than just DO these services for people?

    Probably would make hella more money than selling a course through Udemy (where people rarely see much money for their courses)

    Hmmm, the investing aspect of finding distressed homes this way is enough to be NevBox worthy! Thanks for the comment Curt!

    Hmmm, if she really is a very well known therapist then it might be interesting to just throw live webinar-type events where people pay to join.

    Or a 4 week class where they get to see her talk once a week to solve a problem in their relationships.

    Oh now THIS would be a cool thing to do!

    Not only would it be making money for you, but also building a community of smart programmers around you.

    Actually a clever little idea A-ron!

    Cutting back is one way.....but that's not the ideal situation. Ideal situation would be to MAKE more money.

    P.S. I'm still not giving your dog back :)

    NICE Brandon!

    Most of the ideas presented here have been done many times before, so they're not theory at all.

    I think the AirBnB'ing of your apartment would be an awesome extra side income
