7 Surprising Ways to Make an Extra $1000 a Month [in 2024]

MONEY

For many people, learning how to make an extra 1000 dollars a month could mean the difference between barely scraping by and putting money away for retirement. If you break it down, an extra $1,000 per month is about $33 per day or $12,000 per year.

Becoming an online bookkeeper is one of my favorite side hustle (or full-time hustle) ideas. I am probably biased, because it’s been on my short list of business ideas to try for myself for awhile now.

In that case, I always recommend starting small to build momentum, and scale up from there. One of the easiest ways to earn an extra $1,000 per month is to combine several different side hustles that may not make that much on their own.

Make $1,000 a Month Freelancing

Freelancing can be a great way to make a good hourly rate and start making money quickly by offering your services to people you already know. If you’re not sure what skills you have, ask around to friends, family and co-workers. Maybe you’re a spreadsheet whiz, a great motivator, or gifted at graphic design.

Blogging Your Way to $1,000 a Month Online

Oh here we go, of course the blogger recommends blogging to make extra money. It’s so easy anyone can go from zero to six figures in less than a year! Well, hold on just a second. I am not here to sell you any false ideas about blogging.

Another great place to start on your side hustle journey as a beginner is by making extra money as a virtual assistant. This is a very broad category with lots of areas you can specialize in depending on your skill set.

Are you good at finding deals? Do you like scouring estate sales and thrift stores for hidden treasure? If so, reselling on eBay (or another online platform) could be a great way to make some extra cash. This is another super flexible side hustle where you can work on your own terms.

Selling on eBay

I got my start by buying rental properties that cash flowed every month. On average, each of my rentals brings in $300 per month in cash flow (plus additional benefits like appreciation and mortgage paydown by the tenant). With just 3 or 4 rental units, you could easily cash flow $1,000 per month or more.
