2. Start dropshipping with Shopify

Start dropshipping

Dropshipping is by far the fastest way you can make 1000 dollars.

If you are not familiar with familiar with dropshipping, it is basically a business model in which you buy products from Aliexpress (a Chinese Ecommerce site) at a low price and sell them in the United states or anywhere else at a higher price through your own store created through Shopify.

Now you must be thinking why would anybody buy a product from you at a higher price instead of directly buying it from Aliexpress at a lower price?

Well the thing is that majority of people living in the United States don’t know about Aliexpress like they know about Amazon or eBay. This is the reason why this business model has been really successful over the years and it probably would be in the upcoming years.

The best thing about dropshipping is that you don’t have to personally buy the product from Aliexpress and ship it to the customer’s Address. The whole process is automated through an app called Oberlo which does the whole process for you from buying from Aliexpress to shipping to the customer.

3. Sell your unnecessary stuff

Look around you and you will find a lot of unused and unnecessary stuff in your home.

Sell all of it and you would end up with a good amount of quick money.

Take a box or a bag and start searching every single corner of your home starting from your bedroom to your back yard.

Take everything that is not in your use and put in the box.

Unless you are a minimalistic, you would end up with bunch of useless items. Now it’s the time to sell them.

In my opinion the best place to sell old stuff is Craiglist. If you have never ever sold anything on craiglist, check out this article by Moneycrashers in which the whole process is explained step by step.

Although Craiglist is a great option but I would recommend you to only sell big items on Craiglist and sell small things like DVDs on Declutter and clothes on Thredup or Poshmark.

4. Deliver food

Make money delivering food

Recently I came to know about a Food Delivering service named Door Dash.

Some people on Reddit were discussing this amazing income opportunity and according to them you could make 1000 dollars a week delivering food with Door Dash.

After digging further, I came to know that Door Dash is an on-demand Food delivery service that hires independent contractors in the United States as delivery persons who delivers food for them within the United States.

The best thing is that you have the privilege to select your own working hours depending upon your daily routine.

In order to join Door Dash you need to be a US citizen, have an insured vehicle (car or bike), 2 years of driving experience and a smartphone.

The amount of money people make mainly depends upon the amount of hours they work and the vehicle you have. Bike is better because you would often stuck in traffic in case of a car.

If you are located outside the US, you can try Uber Eats.

    • Hey Jade,
      If you are above 13, you can join survey sites like Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars to make some money every month.
      Other than this you can learn a skill e.g web development and start freelancing.
      You can also start a youtube channel and start making videos about what you love, you don’t necessarily need to show your face. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to get succcess on youtube but if you it with passion, you would love doing it and money would follow.
      If you want to make money offline, you can sell something depending on where you live and what weather it is at your place. If it’s summer and hot, you can try selling Lemon Soda and if it’s winter you can try French fries or hot chocolate.
