What is Earn1k?
Welcome to the Earn1K Preview Course! Here, you’ll find a sampling of what Earn1K has to offer: advanced psychological techniques, student success stories and all the information you need to decide if the course is right for you.

Earn1K is step-by-step course to find a profitable idea and turn your EXISTING skills into a reliable side income of $1,000/month — with just 5 hours a week.
What I discovered is that we’re obsessed with the search for more ideas. So we search and search…and get discouraged because we can’t find anything that seems like a “really good idea.”
Or if we find a good idea, it’s already been done by 20 other people.
But the truth is…
Giving you a list of ideas is pointless. I can give them to you right now — but it wouldn’t change a thing.
That’s because earning money is not about finding some encyclopedia of ideas.
It’s about finding ONE PROFITABLE IDEA THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU.
In fact, it’s about doing far LESS than you thought. That means…
- No Twitter
- No Facebook
- No blog
- No business cards
Here’s the insight:
The only thing that matters is 3 paying clients.
That’s it.
Why 3? Because your first might be a fluke…and your second might be your grandma…but when you get your third paying client, you know your idea has legs.
When you can relax and focus only on that single goal, you can eliminate all the “busy work” of earning money.
Drowning yourself in ideas is no way to earn more money.
“First, find a profitable idea.”
First, you use several tools and techniques to understand what you’re already good at. Sometimes, you’re so good at something — it comes so naturally to you — that you don’t even realize it’s a skill.
Then, you check to see if it’s a profitable idea — BEFORE you spend months! (Almost nobody realized that they could “pre-test” an idea for profitability.)
This sounds simple but is actually a totally different approach than most people take.
“Then, build side income around it.”
Imagine knowing that you had a profitable idea in your pocket. What then?
The next step is to turn the idea into side income.
This is where a lot of people started doing random things they’d read about, like starting Twitter or Facebook pages.
And again, they’d fall back into the same pattern! Launch something — this time, a Twitter account — and try and try to somehow turn it into side income.
What they actually needed was less random tactics and “lists of ideas”…
…and instead, a SYSTEM.
A step-by-step SYSTEM for testing your idea for profitability before you commit hundreds of hours.
A SYSTEM for turning that idea into side income.
A SYSTEM that tells gives you signals whether you’re on the right track or not…so if something’s not working, you’ll know exactly what to do to fix it and get back on track.
A SYSTEM for growing that side income as much — or as little — as you want, with your available time.
But it’s about a SYSTEM — not random tactics. In fact, here’s 5 benefits of Earn1K to help you find out if it’s right for you.
5 Benefits of Earn1K
1. You DO NOT need an idea to join Earn1K.
Let me say it again:
You don’t need to already have an idea to benefit from Earn1K.
In fact, finding your profitable idea is exactly what Earn1K teaches you!
Most of my first-time students come to me thinking they have no skills anyone would ever pay for.
But to them I say:
- Have you ever paid for a meal at a restaurant?
- Have you ever gotten an oil change?
- Or a house cleaner?
All of those are simple ideas that you paid for.
Notice that you don’t need a PhD to do any of those ideas.
Your idea also doesn’t have to be the most novel…it just has to be profitable.
Now you can learn how to take your skills — the skills you ALREADY HAVE — and turn them into side income for yourself.
You DO NOT need an idea to join Earn1K.
No “business skills” required. You don’t need to know Excel…or have a website…or have technical skills. In fact, I teach my students to AVOID setting up websites and complicated tech setups because they don’t contribute to you getting your first side income.
That’s all that matters — finding a profitable idea and finding your first 3 paying clients.
So again, let me repeat…You DO NOT need an idea to join Earn1K.
2. Ruthlessly eliminate time-wasters
Nobody wants to waste their time doing things that don’t pay off.
Yet so many people spend their time “playing business”…doing things they think they “should” do — but will never pay.
This is why so many of our friends try idea after idea, getting excited and launching a website and social-network profile and blog…only to have them wither away after a couple months.
Even worse, it happens over and over.
I don’t let this happen to my students.
That’s why I’ve included special material, interviews, and case studies on time management. Specifically, what NOT TO DO.
Some of this material will “shatter” the way you think about earning money.
For years, you’ve been told that you NEED to have a Twitter page…a Facebook page…a blog….business cards.
Yet has any of that ever worked for you?
I have a blog with over 300,000 readers per month. I have a Twitter account with over 16,000 followers. I track everything.
And that’s why I can tell you precisely what works — and what doesn’t.
And that’s why Earn1K will teach you how to get 3 paying clients…and ignore everything else.
Ironically, you can get better results by doing LESS. You just have to be doing the RIGHT things.
3. Step-by-step instructions that FORCE you to take action
If there’s one thing that drives me crazy, it’s books, or blogs, or websites that just list off every possible thing to do under the sun.
Honestly, who wants to read a list of “50 ways to earn more money?” Nobody ever uses lists for anything except to read once and throw away.
You don’t need more ideas. You need ONE PROFITABLE IDEA.
The entire focus of Earn1K — from the ground up — is to give you step-by-step instructions to force you to take action and secure 3 paying clients..
Step-by-step means:
- Clear action steps — along with a detailed recommendation for how long each one should take (1 hour? 2 days?)
- “Benchmarks” so you know what others have done with the same material– wrong turns they’ve made — and how to stay on course
- Warning signs…red flags…GOOD signs…and when to stick with your idea
Instead of getting some massive ebook — which looks exciting but inevitably ends up abandoned — we created Earn1K with weekly progress in mind.
Let me tell you how serious I am about step-by-step action.
Each module of Earn1K is sent out on a weekly basis, along with specific action steps for that week.
You cannot skip ahead. You cannot avoid doing the work. We even check in with you every week to track progress.
It sounds odd, but in a world of infinite information, we tend to skip around instead of adhering to a SYSTEM.
But with Earn1K, you follow the system and you’re forced to pace yourself and stay focused and motivated.
It’s kind of a relief, isn’t it? It’s like going to a restaurant and letting the chef send you his best courses…one after another…all perfectly suited to follow one another.
You don’t have to think about a thing. You simply follow his plan.
Since I’m a weirdo, I’m almost like that…except I’ve tested the “menu” with 1,000+ graduates to make sure it’s just right.
I know it’s a lot to ask, so in exchange for putting your trust in this program, you’ll get the system that’s helped over 1,000 students learn how to earn more money, deeply understand their customers, narrow down ideas, market their services, raise their prices, and earn more money than they’ve ever thought possible.
4. Get higher-paying clients
When you raise your rates, you can make MORE and work LESS.
But I hear these complaints time and time again:
- “People won’t pay for my services…nobody here pays for anything.”
- “There’s no way I could charge more than $15/hour for that.”
- “I already have 1 client…but there’s no way to raise my rates without pissing him off.”
These people are actually targeting the WRONG customers.
If you can’t get higher-paying clients — if you’re stuck with low-paying clients who abuse your time and don’t treat you with disrespect — it’s almost impossible to change them.
But there are ways to get higher-paying clients.
You’ll learn:
- How to choose better clients from day 1
- “Red flags” that tell you a client won’t pay your desired rates
- Ready-to-use scripts to “sniff out” whether your potential client is a real paying client…or a freeloader
- How to raise rates with existing clients — without alienating them
- When to “fire” deadbeats — and exactly what to say
5. Unexpected side benefit: A Higher Salary
From our research, we discovered something totally unexpected: Earn1K students are using these principles of raising rates to negotiate a higher salary at their day job!
Again, I didn’t expect this. And I don’t promise anything for your day job. But it turns out that the same principles we teach for raising your rates…can also be used to dramatically raise your full-time salary.
This entire site is designed to help you find out if Earn1K is right for you. It’s packed with examples and case stuides of Earn1K grads just like you that started earning thousands on the side…

The Best Course I Have Ever Taken
“I have 15 years of sales experience and have taken all the courses, gone to all the conferences. Earn1k is the best course I have ever taken…even better than my college business classes.
If you follow the steps and give this course even half an honest chance, you’ll make your investment back and be prepared to earn more going forward.
I like that you’re kicked in the butt every week to do something about it rather than sit around and dream about how cool it would be to earn extra money.”
