So I’ve been reading about ways to make $1,000 a day, and it sounds like there are a lot of different methods—blogging, freelancing, starting an online business, and more. I’m curious if anyone here has tried these and how long it took to start making serious money? Would love to hear your thoughts!
I started blogging a few years ago. It definitely took some time to build traffic, but now I make around $500 to $800 a day between ads and affiliate marketing. I think it’s all about SEO and staying consistent.

That’s awesome. Did you have to learn a lot about SEO when you started? I’m a little intimidated by that part.

Yeah, it’s a learning curve for sure. But there are tons of free resources and YouTube channels that break it down. Once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad.
I’ve been freelancing for about 2 years. It took me about 6 months to start earning $500+ per day regularly, but I specialize in graphic design, so that helped. I found clients through Upwork and networking.

That’s really fast 
Do you think it’s easier to start freelancing with a specific skill like design or marketing?

I think it helps for sure, especially with something like design. But even if you don’t have a specific skill yet, there’s always virtual assistant work or social media management that you can learn on the job.
Etsy print on demand is pretty solid if you have a knack for design. I started selling digital downloads, and while I haven’t hit $1k in a single day yet, I’ve had a few $500 days.

That’s still great. How long did it take for your store to get to that point?
@Erie
It took about 8 months of steady work, tweaking designs, and optimizing listings. Once you find what sells, it gets easier to scale.
For anyone into real estate, Airbnb rentals are a goldmine. I started with one property and now manage a few more, and when fully booked, I can make $1,000 a day.

Wow, that sounds amazing. Do you manage the properties yourself or do you outsource that part?
@Erie
I outsourced property management after a while. It takes a cut of the profit, but it’s worth it for the time it saves.
Has anyone tried retail arbitrage? I’ve been thinking about giving it a go but not sure if it’s worth the time.

I’ve heard it can be profitable, especially if you use Amazon FBA. You might not hit $1,000 a day right away, but with enough inventory, it’s possible.
@Erie
Good to know. I’ll probably start small and see how it goes. Thanks!
