Earn1K wasn't right for you?
"Strip away everything else...
and just help me find an idea!"
An easier way to see if you can earn money on the side.
No 8-week commitment.
No complex material.
Just a simple test to help you find a single idea.
From Ramit Sethi, founder of "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" and "Earn1K":
Hey there —
If you’re reading this, you’re probably interested in earning money on the side, but you’re not sure where to begin... and you may have decided that my Earn1K program isn't right for you right now.
After all, if you’re not sure you can find an idea to start earning money, it’s hard to spend a large amount of money on something like Earn1K.
So let me propose something simpler to start.
This is different than Earn1K. It's specifically focused on helping you find your first profitable idea -- and idea that will instantly start generating income -- without all the other bells and whistles you may not need right now.
The hardest part of earning more money is finding a profitable idea.
Not just any idea, but one that will pay... and not waste your time on scammy SEO tactics or Facebook/Twitter pages that waste months of your time.
Maybe you have too many ideas (a "jack of all trades") — or you’re not sure if you could even find anything that would help you earn money. Maybe you’re like one of the many people who send me these questions every week:
- “What can I do that people would pay me for?”
- “I’d love to earn more money on the side, but I still don’t have any business ideas.”
- “I have too many ideas – how do I narrow it down and decide which one to choose?”
If so, I have something I think you’ll like...
I recently created a new introductory program – part of my Earn1K series helping regular people earn thousands in side income – called Find Your First Profitable Idea. It’s a step-by-step guide to coming up with an idea that’s PROVEN to get you paid.
This is specifically focused on helping you find your first profitable idea -- an idea that will instantly start generating income.
What does this mean for you?
No more getting stuck on too many ideas that you’re unsure about. No more wishing for a magical idea to fall from the sky (instead, I’ll show you how to take your existing skills and turn them into income).
“I Can’t Think of Anything I Could Do to Earn More”
Think about a friend, or uncle, or parent...the one who’s waiting for “an idea” to get started. They’ve been waiting for 5 years...or 10 years...or longer.
Compare this to someone else who gets excited about idea after idea and jumps into them...only to get bored 6 months later and move on to the next idea. They say things like, “It can’t hurt to try, right?” and they wait for an idea to “stick”...but it gets frustrating to jump from idea to idea.
There is a better way -- a way to test your idea BEFORE you waste 6 months of your life on something that won’t work.
You don’t need a PhD or some certification to earn money. Most of my students are earning money without the help of advanced degrees.
The important part is FINDING an idea and TESTING it.
I’m not interested in jumping from idea to idea. I’m going to show you how to find ideas that are worth infinitely more than that.
"I thought I didn't have any great ideas"
"Before I thought I didn't have any great ideas to make money on my own. Now I realized that it's not about having a life changing idea, but looking into solving problems with the skills that I have or skills that I can/want to learn."
DJ Chung
"I never thought I had any skills that people wanted"
"Before I never thought I had any skills that people wanted, now I have an idea that's profitable and have my first 2 clients."
Parag R.
That's right. You'll have a profitable idea that's right for you. How will you know that?
Because you’ll have made at least $100 from it.
And once you earn $100, you’ll know how to earn $1,000 -- and then $2,000, and then thousands per month. I call it “The Tuner Strategy” -- and it begins with earning your first $100.
Think about it: If your goal is to earn money, the first $100 is critically important. It shows you that your idea is valuable enough for someone to pay for it.
That means we DO focus on:
- How good is the idea?
- Will people pay for it?
- How much will they pay?
- What techniques can you use to test it BEFORE you spend months of your life?
- Once you earn $100, how do you “tune” your side income to thousands of dollars?
Find Your First Profitable Idea is my proven, systematic roadmap to help you come up with a business idea you KNOW will earn money – because you’ll have gotten your first client and earned at least $100 with it.
“Dip Your Toes” into Earning More
Find Your First Profitable Idea doesn’t include all the other parts of Earn1k...like referral strategies, marketing techniques, and detailed pricing. This is specifically focused on helping you find an idea.
If it works, great -- you can “scale” up your earnings whenever you want.
If not, you’ve only invested a modest amount of time.
This is a rapid “get started today” way to start earning money on the side without my full end-to-end Earn1k system.
The truth is, most people can earn thousands/month right now...if only they knew how to find an idea and test it to ensure people will pay for it.

About Me

• Featured in ABC News, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal
• Stanford graduate
If you’re reading this you probably already know I help people start side businesses to earn more money. But just in case, here’s a little bit about me:
I’ve been writing my blog, “I Will Teach You To Be Rich,” since 2004. It now hosts over 300,000 readers/month
I’ve written hundreds of free articles for millions of readers and helped people save, invest, and automate their money
My book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, was an instant New York Times best-seller and became the #1 overall book on Amazon the day it was released (knocking Twilight off the top spot)
My material on earning more has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and ABC News. I’m regularly featured in the New York Times
Above all, I get you results.
My students learn how to earn more money. Here are just a few of the results they've achieved:
"$1000 in income within 1 week"
"I ended up with 2 profitable ideas that resulted in $1000 in income within 1 week of implementation."
John M.
"I got my first paying client for $50/hour"
"I got my first paying client for $50/hour, and he is going to introduce me to others who need the same service."
Elie B
"$300-400/week job that works out to $50/hour."

Pre-Written Email Secures High Hourly Rate

I pretty much just copied your "qualify leads" email? WORKED LIKE A CHARM"
Jules
"Wait a Second, Ramit. How is This Different
From Your Earn1K Program?"
Glad you asked. When we created Earn1K, we created the very best product on the market for people looking to earn their first $1,000 on the side. However, after hearing from tens of thousands of people about earning more, I realized that not everybody needed the full Earn1K package.
Some people just want to find ONE profitable idea.
So the Find Your First Profitable Idea program is solely focussed on that. We didn't just strip down the "Find An Idea" parts of Earn1K either. We created all-new content, hours of video with new examples and techniques, new case studies, and restructured/expanded the entire curriculum to help you rapidly find a profitable idea.
Earn1K is more comprehensive and includes start-to-finish materials on launching and growing your freelance business, including more complex strategies for referrals, service offerings, lead qualification, client engagement, and more. But it's also more expensive and overkill for some people.
Find Your First Profitable Idea walks you through, step-by-step, to find that first profitable idea. From there, you can scale up, raise your rates, and earn more.
So, you might then be wondering, who is this program for? I don't want everyone -- only the right people.
This is for you if…
- You’re ready to start earning more money, but you want to focus on finding ONE idea -- not the entire end-to-end Earn1k course
- You’re not sure what skills you have that people will pay for. How do you find out? How can you package them into something marketable?
- You don’t want to waste time pursuing ideas that will never pay off (or only make $0.93/day doing some scammy Adsense business)
- You’ve jumped from idea to idea, but nothing really “sticks”
- You already know you want to start earning more money on the side. You may have even tried a few times, but you find yourself stuck. You don’t need a full, comprehensive course on earning – just some specific help to get you started.
- You’re willing to put in work, but you need action steps and results -- and you want to see how other people like you have found a profitable idea
- You’re looking for the occasional kick in the pants to get you off your seat and motivated to get going
If you fit the bill, then you can skip this next part. On the contrary, if you're not sure, check out this list to make sure this program is right for you.
This isn’t for you if…
- You’re already making significant income on the side and are looking to expand.
- You’re looking for a magic bullet, get rich quick scheme or weird SEO thing.
- You read but won’t take action. This course is for do-ers only. If you want to buy this course and do nothing, please just go away.
If you ARE interested in earning more, then keep reading, because now it's time to see what you get when you order your program today...

Think About What A Difference
This Could Make...
Imagine you use this program to identify a profitable idea. You know it works because you get your first enthusiastic, paying client who is delighted to pay for your services. You now have new money in the bank.
What would that mean?
Would you be more confident of your abilities?
Would you be more motivated to earn more and use it to pay off debt, increase your savings, or take an extravagant vacation?
Would you be able to take that first client and “tune” your work into higher-value work that you love...including charging more?
Would you be able to focus on doing the things you love instead of making decisions based on money?
Yes, you would.
For a small investment, you can take your existing skills, find a profitable idea, and “package” your skills to earn you money over and over....for the rest of your life.
And you can earn back the cost of this program -- guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How much time will this take me?
Besides actually consuming the content (which can be watched, listened to or read any time), the work itself will take about 10-15 hours. This is not some “push one button and make instant riches!” product. If you want that, please go away. It’s 15 hours of total work to find at least ONE proven business idea that will make you at least $100 – and likely much more than that.
2. What if I already have a business idea?
That’s great, and you’ve got a head start on many people who don’t have any ideas yet at all.
We’ll show you how to come up with even more ideas and pick which idea is best for you. We’ll show you how to improve your idea and your positioning. Most importantly, we’ll show you how to TEST your idea in the real world, how to get your first sale, and how to “scale” your idea from there.
3. Is the content downloadable?
Yes. All the videos, audio and written content in the course will be available on the web and can be downloaded to your computer. You’ll also get free lifetime access to any new content updates.
4. Is this only for services (not products)?
In general, yes. Since this is part of the Earn1K series, most of the ideas and case studies will be about freelancing. All our concepts also apply to other business types, whether you’re trying to start a website, create a product or open a brick and mortar store. We believe that freelancing is the easiest and least time-intensive way to start earning money on the side.
5. What if I want to buy the full Earn1K course later?
We’ll take care of that. All buyers of the Finding Your First Profitable Idea program will get credit on the full Earn1K course. In other words, if you want to buy Earn1K later, you’ll be getting this program for free.
6. How does the 60-day money back guarantee work?
Email me any time within 60 days of your purchase and you’ll get 100% of your money back, no questions asked. You can keep the course just for trying it out. You have nothing to lose by trying it out.
