What would you do with an extra $1,000 every month?
Take a weekend getaway…every month? Splurge on gifts for your friends and family? Fast-track your debt payoff or retirement savings? Take a once-in-a-lifetime trip every year?
Hi, I'm Ramit Sethi
The NYT-bestselling author of I Will Teach You To Be Rich and Money for Couples, star of Netflix’s How to Get Rich, and host of the “Money for Couples” podcast.
Since 2004, I’ve helped millions of people master their money and start living Rich Lives.
During this time, one of the most fascinating, exciting, and empowering things I’ve learned is this: You don’t need a million dollars to live a Rich Life. You don’t need hundreds of thousands. In fact, earning just an extra $1,000 on the side each month can radically improve your life.
How do you live a Rich Life?
Conventional wisdom says: Get a “good” job, work hard for 40 years, then enjoy life—if you’re still healthy. Or, you know… alive. Sounds like a great plan.
Meanwhile, other people are taking dream trips, buying 4-bedroom homes, and dropping cash on hobbies like rebuilding classic cars or brewing world-class coffee. They’re living by different rules.
The secret is they made two simple but life-changing decisions:
They stopped waiting to enjoy life.
They made more money. (Because there’s only so much you can cut back.)
Time will pass either way. It’s your choice how to invest it.
How to actually make more money
To start earning money now, you really only need three things:
01
A valuable skill
02
People ready to pay for your skill
03
A system to offer them your skills
It’s simple when you boil it down to the essentials.
But most people try everything – except figuring out which of their skills people will pay them for.
With the right system, you can go from zero to making $1,000 on the side, every month, using skills you already have—in just 30 days.
Time will pass either way. It’s your choice how to invest it.
What would you do with an extra $1,000 a month?
Every Rich Life looks different. But no matter where you’re starting, a little extra money can make a huge difference.

So… what does your Rich Life look like? And when are you going to start living it?

The Earn1k System
Your Proven Path to Earning $1,000 on the Side Using The Skills You Already Have
For 15+ years, we’ve helped thousands of people earn more on the side.
When my first child was born I was severely burned out on my previous career as a web developer but still needed to make an income — and I had no idea what was next. Although I was nervous to spend so much on a course, I signed up for Earn1k and quickly made the investment back and more.
Even more than the specific steps to grow my income, I learned how to think bigger in terms of systems, skills, and mindset….I’m still in my dream job 7 years later (and still using IWT material to grow our business) and life is great. Not only have I been able to provide stability for my kids, we are living our Rich Life.

As a new nursing school graduate, I had never considered that it was possible for me to start a business or make money outside of my healthcare career. When I started the Earn1K course, I quickly realized that my medical training and writing skills are hot commodities that I could sell – and I’ve never looked back.
I’ve since been able to earn over double the goal when I started the course, all while still working my regular job! It’s been such an amazing experience to realize that I have marketable skills from my education that I have been able to use to start my own business.

“Seven months ago, I had never ridden a mountain bike. I'd been skiing once. Now doing BOTH is a normal weekend for me. All of these hobbies are expensive, so just last week I used Earn1K to land a $300/week tutoring job. Literally one 30-minute Zoom interview and hired on the spot. Sunday night was my first session, and on the way home I called my mom. It was a dream weekend!”
“Earn1K sounded cool, but there was no way I was spending $1,000 on a course. It took almost 3 more years for me to get to a place where I felt like I was ready to invest, and finally I bought myself the most expensive birthday gift ever: Earn1K."
“My goal of earning 1K was 6 months. 4 months later, I’d reached it. By next birthday, I had earned 3k that month itself! By the end of that year, I quit my day job, and started doing my Earn1K job full time. I now run a profitable Coaching business from home… [and] I’ve definitely found my dream job.”

“So far, after buying your Earn1k course a few years ago, my rich life looks like this: Never having to wake up to a blaring alarm clock (except for taking my son to school) Being able to travel for 8 weeks a year Picking up my son from school every afternoon No more debt and money put aside for at least 4 years”
Don’t Do It Alone—Join the Earn1K Community
Earn1K gives you everything you need to succeed. But I’ve found that going it alone is slow.
That’s why I’m including a private community in both versions of Earn1K.
Instead of second-guessing yourself, you’ll get real support from real people actually earning money on the side. Inside, you’ll get:
- Feedback on your ideas and offers from people who actually know what they’re doing
- Real examples of student pitches, proposals, and client conversations (so you’re not making it up as you go)
- Accountability partners in your industry—because motivation fades fast when you’re working alone
- A place to celebrate wins and troubleshoot challenges with people who get it
- Honest answers to your toughest questions from people who’ve been exactly where you are
Why sit around wondering if you’re doing it right when you could just ask someone who’s already figured it out?
Want to Fast-Track Your Results? Join Earn1K LIVE
If you want to move even faster, the Earn1K Live tier gives you everything in Earn1K, plus 8 live Office Hours over 30 days—so you can get personalized, real-time help from Earn1K coaches.
The best part?
You'll make more progress in these 4 weeks than most people make in years of struggling alone. What you’ll get:
Live feedback on your ideas, pricing, and client outreach (no more wondering if you’re on the right track)
Teardowns of successful side gigs from real students (see exactly what’s working)
Guest experts who’ve gone from $0 to $1K+/month and beyond (so you can skip the trial and error)
Full recordings and action steps after each session

“My first course was Earn1K….The IWT material and community first gave me inspiration to try harder and look for more and bigger opportunities. Once I found and tested those opportunities, it gave me so many tactics and approaches to draw from. While it’s quite possible I could have gotten here regardless, I am not sure I would have done so as smoothly and confidently as I did.
“I really have never doubted what I was doing from Day 1 of starting my business, and some of it was just having a playbook of ideas and approaches and tactics to draw from that really, really work.”
Kirsten Liston
“It actually took me a long time to get the courage to do anything to get my first client. But once I did, it happened really quickly. I had done it! I made money out of thin air, just by talking to someone at a local event!
“I knew I couldn’t let this ball stop rolling….It took some time, but I got my second client! Of course, with Ramit’s teaching, I upped my rate and they happily paid it. With each client, I would raise my rate, yet again…”
Kirsten Ahlmark
