Announcing the “Earn Your First $1,000 On The Side” course

Today I’m thrilled to announce a totally new course called Earn Your First $1,000 On The Side.
The short version: An all-new course that I’ve been quietly developing for a year, which includes 16 super-specific lessons on finding a profitable idea, testing it, finding clients, pricing, marketing, all designed to help you earn $1,000 (and more) on the side — every month. Also includes hours of gorgeous HD video strategies and tactics, Master Classes from people like Tim Ferriss (4HWW) on specific topics like marketing, time management & productivity, and psychology. Course registration ends tomorrow — click to see course details.
Q: What’s surprised you so far?
A: “The level of polish, thought, and effort that goes into every aspect of it so far. It is seriously the best looking, most relevant material I have seen online.”
–Ned White, Earn1k preview member
The detailed version: For the last four years, the #1 requested topic on my site has been “how to earn money.” Yet I’ve resisted creating a course for you guys, because most of the “earn money” courses I see are sleazy SEO plays or worthless courses that give you the same information you could find on Google. ‘Pick a market! Make a business plan. Network a lot!’
Give me a break.
But last year, when I went on my book tour, I met my readers in Starbucks and Barnes & Nobles in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver…and all over. When I asked them what THEY wanted me to write about, they all said the same thing: how to earn more money.
I asked them what questions they wanted me to answer, and here were some of the most common:
- “I already have a full-time job. Can I really earn $1,000 on the side without spending 60 hours/week?”
- “I don’t know which skills could actually earn me money. How do I decide what to do?”
- “What can you teach me that’s new? I already know the stuff on Google.”
Their questions were really surprising.
That’s when I started seriously thinking about building the single-best course on earning money anywhere. Not just high-level advice, but specific strategies and tactics to help you use your skills, find a market, and charge competitive rates for side income.
You saw the first 3 weeks of January with all-new posts on earning more money, niche-ing it down, getting in your customers’ heads, and using a step-by-step process to earn money on the side.
As we’ve worked on this course for the last year, I wish I could go back to all those cities and tell my readers:
- You DON’T need to spend 60 hours/week to earn $1,000 on the side…
- You DON’T need to set up a sophisticated website or become an SEO master…
- You DON’T need to get 10,000 Twitter followers or set up a YouTube/Facebook/LinkedIn page…
- You DON’T need to create an ebook or product to earn your first $1,000…
- You DON’T need to become a legal expert on business licenses…
Instead, you need to spend the majority of your time GETTING PAYING CLIENTS. Amazing when you eliminate all the BS.
It’s not just about the money
When I asked readers why they wanted to earn more money, the biggest reason across the board was NOT just about the money.
Actually, the #1 reason I got from you was to be able to eventually leave your job and work for yourself or travel.
Knowing this, I focused on not only new tactics to earn more, but the psychology of your own barriers — the barriers that are keeping you in a “meh” job. Are you too busy? Not sure where to start? Nervous about investing thousands into an unproven idea? The Earn1k course breaks it down step-by-step.
All these barriers (and more) can be systematically tested and used to help grow your side income.
In fact, here’s what some people said about the the preview version of Earn1k, which contained just a fraction of what the full course contains.
“I don’t feel scammed! No offense Ramit, but I’ve been burned by empty promises from other online courses. Also, I feel like I’m being taught and pushed to act, rather than merely inspired. It’s completely different than my other experiences. At this place in my life when I’m feeling poised to make changes and earn more money, it would be self-sabotage not to do it.”
–R. Cree, Earn1k preview member
“I am surprised how much I have gotten out of it, honestly. I came in thinking I might pick up some tools and tricks that could be used in my current business or to start my next one, but now I want to try freelancing. I knew in the back of my head that I shouldn’t try to make everyone happy, but you really hammered ruthless niching enough that it finally clicked for me. More niche = more rare = more concentrated demand = higher $/hr.”

“Ramit’s course has already completely changed my perspective from what *I* want to what the *customer* wants. Learning ...
