How to Make $1000 a Month Consistently

Ill go first...

Reselling on a platform such as eBay. I have a thread on the subject...

that thread was started what 3 yrs ago? My now 13 yr old son is making $60K a year - pretty much on his own now.

2 hours a day is all it takes. $1000 a month? so doable. $1000 a week is doable, let my son be the proof of that.

Once you get to the 100 items listed area... you will sell on average 3 items per day. If you are making $10 per item thats $30 per day... $900 a month right there.

No need for website domains, or web hosting or Autosponders or themes or any of that...

I started with $40

Hope that Helps!

I think people should try selling things on platforms that are dedicated and already have great recognition. Ebay, shopify, etsy...


As to Ebay, Savidge's thread is a great place to go find out how to do it: https://www.warriorforum.com/warrior...days-ebay.html

retiring?....

Mark, I understand the answers provided were not maybe the direction you were hoping for - and I get that. I am pretty consistent with the whole sell product message. It is simply the lowest cost of entry - you can start with products you may have sitting in your own home - and it is probably the quickest way to obtain results, you can literally list something TODAY and sell it in the same day (not that this is always true - but it happens frequently )

The argument could be made - and I would say poorly, that people around the world dont have access to eBays or Amazon, and THAT may be true. But the reality is i think just about everyone has access to a selling platform regardless of their location.

My secondary reasoning behind the idea of selling goods is the fact that requires some of the very fundamental skills required in actually advancing ones venture in to making money online. Universally, regardless of what one is selling headlines ( product titles ) Images and price are at the core of success. A headline and an image could be a Facebook ad. A headline by itself could be a Google Ad. The words and some kind of visual presentation of what you are selling is the absolute core of a landing page. Understanding how these elements and the inclusion of text determine if you have crossed the threshold VALUE - determines what one is willing to pay IE price. Again the what I believe to be absolute basic fundamentals in selling ANYTHING online.

So lets maybe more directly answer the scenario at hand.. being a website, paypal etc. I believe there are 2 possible models in this. I personally call these "Organic" and "Managed" ( I promise this will make sense) Of the 2, Organic is the long haul not as fast in return model, and Managed being "quicker" if the ocean parts and the stars align.

Ill start with the "Managed" model, because by virtue of the idea that it is quick cash, it is obviously the most prevalent here on the WF. We read this stuff all the time... find a niche that has money... find a product and sell it. I personally believe there are just a ton of pitfalls in this scenario - just more ways to fail than there are ways to succeed.

So the average user looks for a niche and thinks oh, weight loss is a $70 Billion dollar industry I want a piece of that. ok fine... so they go over to Clickbank and find a product - and again Im fine with that.... So from there you build a site, add a few articles build a lander run an ad and get people on a mailing list. Do I need to point out the many points of failure in this scenario? and because this is a discussion... I will.

The selecting of a product is one thing... but then selling said product, and I would bet better than 90% of the time the sellers do not actually buy the product, let alone use it. How can you write paralleled content or create a parallel piece of bait ( a piece of content to exchange for an e-mail address ) if you have never looked at the product?

WHY I think this is a big deal? There is a key variable in the creation of a funnel, and that is consistency. If the freebie you are giving away deviates from the product itself - it will ultimately fail - "It" being the effort to lock a person in and then try to get them to click on the affiliate link to buy the product.

Which leads us to then creating an e-mail sequence. If you have no clue what you are selling, how exactly can you communicate what the "Benefits" of the product you are selling are? I have joined I dont know how many mailing lists from members on and off the WF over the years and have been bombarded with BUY BUY BUY... and hardly if ever... have I seen if your goal is this.. try this, or try that, or I did this, and I did that, and this over here didn't work for me... this product does this and that ( click now to buy )

In a nutshell the whole process is very detached there is no connection between the seller, the buyer and the product. The whole process becomes a waste of time and effort with 2 of the 3 parties involved.

So the other method is "Organic". As i lay this out I want to point out that the people that are trying to "Manage" an income.. are looking up to this model not realizing there is a difference.

Charli D'Amelio - Organic as the day is long... probably taking 3 to 4 dance classes a week... just doing her thing on TikTok - and BAM all of the sudden she becomes a multi million dollar thing.

Colonel Sanders - door to door, one less no to a yes - in it to win it, and believed in the process

Roman Atwood - had a passion for making videos long before YouTube

Mr. Beast - nothing but Passion

Search YouTube, and its absolutely all over the place DIY channels, Music Channels, Cooking channels, Nomad life channels literally everywhere people just doing themselves - and in time it works out.

So the absolute core of "Organic" is using your own personal knowledge or skill or the fact you are learning a skill, and presenting THAT. The path to mastery is said to take 10,000 hours. There is a clear - better than clear path to teaching what you most need to learn within those 10,000 hours and share your journey... and that PATH leads to making money online and doing so in a consistent manor.

I believe there is such thing as a hybrid model of sorts. So you are starting out.. you get hosting... get hosting that allows for 2 sites... Start a "Organic" site that documents your journey... and then the second site... that actually makes an attempt to making money online.

The Organic documentation site becomes an ASSET, The managed sites will come and go - but the Organic site will remain... it will be your journal of sorts - the documentation of those 10,000 hours to actually getting to the point that you are making money. A clear documented path of what worked what didn't for yourself to reflect on and for others to learn from.

Success is a journey... its a lifetime. I may have success but that doesn't mean I stop learning...and in the process of learning, I have ambitions of sharing that path when I can, to maybe make someone else journey a bit shorter.

And that's the thing for many of us here... we have an amount of success... we have knowledge... online I could probably sell just about anything ( offline too but that's a whole other discussion ) BUT I have a learned skill base... getting traffic is EASY - for ME, but the reality is for 99% of everyone else it is the hugest hurdle of them all - i've put in the 10,000 hours ( and then some )

The issue I have... is traffic is not a one answer solution. Its just not a do this and this and this... and bing there you go. In a funnel as an example.. there are 3 steps ( very basic funnel ) the Ad, The Lander, and The Offer - forget the e-mail sequence and all of that.. all 3 steps have more room for error than success... words images color and cost ( added a new variable in there for those not paying attention ) thats ALL we are really dealing with... and as easy as words images color and cost sounds... its down right complicated.

Havent looked, I bet this post is as long as heel... But that would be my advice.. 2 sites... one that tries to sell, and the other that documents all of those tries.

Hope that Helps!

It is almost certain nowan worth their salt would flee from such a proposition.

I am still wondering, from where to start :-)

A few years ago, I had a friend contact me for help. He had a lot of stuff he wanted to sell AND a lot of stuff he wanted to buy.
His problem was that he was next to useless on a computer and, although he had a basic understanding of eBay, he didn't know enough.

He asked if I could help him, and make money at the same time.


Over a 3 year period, a lot of different things were bought and sold.
I made commission each time I did something for him.


After having got the momentum going, I was making good money but only spending a small amount of time. From memory, I was making between $200 and $700 per month, depending on how busy he was with his dealings.


It was the easiest money I ever made, and it also helped my friend who focused on his buying and selling decisions. We worked on the ads together and I didn't spend more than a couple of hours a week on it, regardless of how much work there was.



My point is this: if you know someone needing help in this way, offer your help. Remember, not everybody is an eBay expert.

Yes, this really depends on how much budget the person has in the beginning of the journey, as it's much easier to achieve great things with higher amount of cash. But, in the reality, the majority of people aren't in this position in the beginning, so we should count that they don't have too money to spent.

There are a bunch of different ways for generating money and profit, and it depends on each persons wished and qualifications, but I would maybe suggest going with some affiliate marketing things, joining some networks, adding links to site or social media and start earning from it. Or, some dropshipping also wouldn't be that demanding for beginners, so I would consider it as one idea as well.

One way someone can get into dropshipping aware of the costs to complete orders is to setup website, offer Paypal as their primary payment option, and fulfill orders through the dropshipper with the funds in their Paypal account.

If the dropshipper requires a credit or debit card to complete orders, you can get a Paypal debit card that is linked to your account and use that as a payment method to pay immediately for the dropshipping order.

How to identify and source items that will sell

From all of the research I have done, eBay is the only platform that allows you the ability to see how many of an item have sold over a period of time. With eBay that time is spread across 90 days.

All of the other platforms this number is just not available. The closest would be the Amazon category rating... but that is over the lifetime of the listing and really has no indication of how many have sold in the last X amount of time. So really isnt giving you any amount of hard data to suggest, this item would sell.

Back to eBay. there are 2 numbers we want to look at. How many are currently for sale, and then how many have sold in the last 90 days. On the desktop and mobile app you cansearch an item and see specifically how many listings there are for that item and then on the computer site version you would want to do a search,and in the upper left you will see "Advanced" and click that, and then you want to ensure that the term you searched is in the "Enter keyword or item number" box and below that you want to place a check next to "Sold listings". you then will see how many have sold in the last 90 days.

On mobile you search for an item and get the number of items listed, and then click the menu icon on the right and scroll down to sold listings and click that and again the number of sold listiings will be on that screen.

So the math part of this. We now have the number of items currently listed to sell, and the number of items sold in the past 90 days. You want to add those 2 numbers together, and then divide how many have sold in the last 90 days by the 2 numbers together.

So lets say there are 1000 listings and 200 sold. you would add 1000 + 200 = 1200. you then divide 200 by 1200 and you end up with basically a percentage .16666.

That number directly relates to what percentage of that item will sell in the next 90 days. 16% of the 1200 listed items or 192 of that specific item will sell in the next 90 days.

Now we have a number that tells us if the item will sell anytime soon or if we may be sitting on it. 16% is obviously not something that would be of interest if speed of sale is a consideration.

If you look at something like the GoPro hero 9 black there are 292 active listings and there are 1212 sold listings ( this is an extreme example btw ) so we can run the math 1212+292=1504 and then divide that by number sold and we get 1.24 OR 124% of active listings will sell in the next 90 days.

I will say that if this was a variable that I was really looking at in terms of what to buy, I wouldn't be buying anything with less than a 50% possible sell rate. BUT I am playing the consistency game... so knowing it will sell, just not maybe tomorrow is ok in my book. I look at it as a money printer of sorts... for every $1 into the printer, I end up with at least $3.00 back

The lowest ratio I look at is 3x of COG so as the example that is being used... buy something for $5.00 and after fees and shipping you end up with $15.00 - this is the MINIMUM requirement for me buying something to sell... buying coffee mugs for $.50 and selling them for $12.00 obviously far exceeds that minimum. There are some that sell almost instantly ( Starbucks mugs ) and there are others that have a tendency to sit a while.

I justify holding an item for a longer period of time and not worrying about working in the COG at the time because the profit ratio is much higher. Sooner or later I am going to turn every $1.00 into a minimum of $3.00

Another thing to consider when buying to sell is BRAND. if you are looking at something that you are on the fence about it terms of the eBay sell through rate or if the item is nonexistent on eBay... you want to go ahead and do a Google search and see how many listings for the item might be there.

I can say in our experience that buying off brand type stuff - is a long game. We buy a lot of off brand clothes and shoes ( mostly kids shoes ) and it just takes longer to sell than say the same items made by Nike as an example. BUT we are buying this stuff at pennies on the dollar, so it is worth the "investment" in the long run.

I would say starting out... you want to find BRANDS that sell, and items that are in the 50% or greater turnover rate. This ensures the faster turnover on most of your inventory.

Something I would look out for when sourcing on say Facebook Market place or Craigslist is people selling items in bulk. This is a RED FLAG as a reseller looking to buy items to sell. They are more often than not selling the items, because they cant sell them themselves. When in doubt ASK right? Often time i find this stuff that people were selling on Amazon, and at some point Amazon rejected the item - OR they are in categories that are over saturated.

Cellphone cases would be a good example of this. a quick search for "iphone 12 phone case" produces 63,000 results, and a quick look at sold listing is less than 1000. a brutal brutal extreme example of whatnot to buy...the exact opposite of say GoPro thats on the other end of th spectrum.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

I think we can throw Mercari into the mix also as a platform where you can sell higher priced items. On your scale i would put it right after Etsy and before Amazon/Ebay.

One thing i like about Mercari is their shipping model. There's a flat rate for first class shipping throughout the entire US no matter where you live - versus on Ebay the shipping price varies based on your location.

I'm not the analytics guy so it's frustrating for me to have to factor in the cost of shipping to LA, Hawaii or Alaska when selling on Ebay. But on Mercari it's one rate anywhere.

So yes I've been able to buy at a bargain from Amazon & Ebay and was able to sell on Mercari at a profit, so i think your scale is accurate there.

I think your scale is accurate also with Etsy being at #2 as my sister sells high priced custom made cups (the size of a fountain drink at the gas station) on Etsy and does really well - but doesn't have the same luck on Ebay.

I get it. I like to cross post my merchandise on multiple platforms to quicken the process of sales. But admittedly i have to stay on top of it so i dont run out of inventory on one platform, and then get a sale on another platform and have no merchandise to ship. Has happened before.

I dont do international shipping but will now consider it. I know ebay has ebay international shipping which makes things a breeze, but I'm an automation guy - i get lazy with filling out the customs form. Guess lazy marketers dont get paid.

As far as pricing goes when shipping far west, I've accepted the fact that a small chunk of my profits will diminish when shipping to different zones in the US. So if i have to profit less a dollar by mailing west I'm content with it.

I like using eBay's shipping calculator before i mail to research shipping costs before i buy and list (https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator).

I like to follow amongst many others Jordan Welch (youtube Channel same name check him out) who took Drop-shipping to several "other levels" and at the ripe old age of 23 did $2.5 Million+ in 2021 with his business.


Goes into great "Savidge like" detail on how he finds products and creates brands around that single product along with complimentary additional products.

Before we start, you have to believe that it is really possible to earn $1000 per month.
if you really want to earn $1000 per month, you have to make side hustle. Invert your time in learning new skills or improve your business strategy.
There many possibilities out in the world, just you have to make some struggle

Making $1,000 Per Month is a very low goal. There is so much money to be made online. What I've learned being full time with Digital and Social Media Marketing since 2008, it's mostly mindset and work ethic. There is no get rich quick scheme.

Many people earn more than 1000 per month with affiliate marketing. You can start with a few dollars or no money at all if you know what to do.

Find an offer and reach your target audience (blogs, social media, youtube, forums, ads, etc.) But it takes work and some consistency like any other business model.

Well this depends on so many factors like mindset ,limiting beliefs etc .But i think the most important ome its a huge desire to make money .Like Thomas Eric said ehen you have a powerful desire you make it true even if you sleep 3 hours per night

Well , Great Post, let me try today

The fastest way someone can start earning online is by providing services online of you have some skills even being able to install WordPress on a server there is someone out there that is willing to pay you to do so I have a WordPress assistant that I pay to do that all the time and its a simple process but I don't have the time for it so happily pay a few bucks to save me the time.

If you are good at graphics and design then instantly you can start offering banners and logo services there is even software that can do that for you also and people are happy to pay you to make their logos.

Then there is explainer videos that command quite a penny on some of the service sites like upwork just spend the $60 odd bucks for the software spend a few hours getting the hang of it and ya off to the races.

Making a $1000 a month consistently is very achievable. People like to complicate things you could just try starting a blog/website about something that interests you.

A website is a great way to not only earn some extra cash, but also to become part of a community. Once your blog has been up and running for a while then you can start thinking about making money from it.

There are many ways to make money from creating a website - sponsored posts, advertising, affiliate marketing and much more.The problem is nothing happens overnight and after a few months unfortunately most people give up on their websites.

If however you work hard and consistantly add good content to your site for at least 6-18 months then you will have a great chance but nothing is guaranteed.


Thanks

Is there any FREE guide here which gives you a step by step plan to make $1000 a month?

I remember back in 2012 I met a guy who was making bank selling kitchen utensils on eBay. At the time, I was barely getting into IM and had a lot to learn. But I was very impressed when I learned that was all he did for a living. Buy low, sell high is still profitable.

You seem to give up very quickly - that will get you nowhere fast.

There are many ways to make money online, but few of them are as quick and easy as some people may have you believe. The truth is that making money online takes hard work and a lot of dedication. This isn't to say that it can't be done, but if you're looking to make money online fast, you should know that it isn't going to happen overnight. Fortunately, there are many different ways to earn money online once you have the right knowledge and the right resources.

Create a blog

With social media, forums, and so many other sites out there for people to post content on, it can be hard to think that your little corner of cyberspace will find any appreciative readers. The truth is that not only are blogs still popular and increasing in popularity, they're also relatively easy to get started with--even if you don't know what you're doing. Don't believe us? Here are some tips for making a simple but effective money-making website.

Use relevant affiliate programs

Affiliate programs are a great way to make money online, and most affiliate programs can be used free of charge. Simply sign up for an account with your favorite affiliate company (Amazon, eBay, iTunes, etc.) and then look for relevant products on their site or app that you could promote using an affiliate link. Once you find a product that is relevant and you will use yourself (even if it's just out of curiosity), click on its get link button.

Guest post

While researching for your post, look for a blogger in your niche with a large audience that you would like to guest post on. Once you find one, contact them and ask if they are willing to publish your work as a guest post. As long as it is well-written and relevant, most bloggers will be happy to have you write for them. They may even be able to give you valuable advice on how best to make money online.

Create an ebook

Ebooks can be downloaded in seconds and give you full control over how you price and sell them. They're also easy to create and update, since everything lives on your computer. In order to take advantage of ebooks' popularity, though, it makes sense to have at least one ready when you launch your online store. Here are some resources that can help

Create videos on YouTube

YouTube is a great way to earn money online. When you use YouTube, people who watch your videos will often click on advertisements that pay a certain amount of money. If you make good content, then people will keep coming back for more. You can also do mini-commercials for your favorite products or promote affiliate links in exchange for some revenue if you find something that works really well.

Participate in blogging contests

The idea of getting a big payout for your writing sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? It's not! While there are plenty of paid-to-write opportunities out there, some of them might not actually deliver on their promises. So here's what you do: Sign up for several blogging contests with reputable companies and see which ones pay out.

Write reviews of products or services you have used

Write about your experience using a particular product or service you like. This helps other people find products and services that are right for them, and can help you make some extra money as well.

I used to scorn at keyword research and that was a major hit in the pocket.

Just because sales came so easy, I turned a blind eye to keyword research.

Holy smokes, you just have to see the power of the other side.

I think running an e-commerce store is good for earning money consistently. E-commerce biz through dropshipping is not only a source of steady income but is scalable.
Finding a good dropshipping company is not difficult with many of them willing to work with e-commerce store owners.
Also, the product inventory is large, which allows to vary the offering on the store.
Shopify seem more turnkey approach but with subscription fee. While woocommerce is free but will need several plugins integration.

I am semi- retired now and this does NOT have to do anything with online marketing so thanks for indulging me. But for a few months now I have been running for HEB groceries here in Texas ( it's called Favors, similar to door dash and uber eats) and delivering groceries to customers' homes and apartments.

I work just a few hours a few days a week and have earned enough tips to exceed over $1,000 each month.
I have to confess it's the most enjoyable and most rewarding job ( part time ones and professional ones) I ever had have.

I get a lot of people with disabilities who I deliver to their residences and I get "God bless you" a lot in my ear when they see me with their groceries. It really makes me feel so good to be able to do this for them
