With the internet being our best friend these days, and being able to conduct transactions online in the click of a button, there are many ways that you can now make $1000 in a week using online marketing methods.
This blog post will share with you ten ways that work today, to help you easily make $1000 in a week.
I just want to backtrack a little, for when I use the word “easily”, I do not mean that it is easy to get started, but if you implement the steps, you can earn $1000 quickly without a huge effort and without spending a ton of time.
Most of these methods, I have used at some point in my online marketing career, so I know that it works. I am sharing with you the ways in which you can make $1000 in a week and the resources to help you get there.
All you will need to do, is to pick one or two, focus on mastering the skills for those two ways, and you will have the potential to increase your income by $1000.
Let’s get started.
Affiliate Marketing
I wouldn’t be a true affiliate marketer, if this was not the first method that I would recommend, to making $1000 within a week.
Affiliate marketing is a lucrative way to make money these days, but it is a skill that you must learn in order to be successful at it.
I certainly don’t want to paint the lie, that you can easily set up a campaign and make $1000 in a week, especially if you are a beginner to affiliate marketing; although this happens with very few people.
Whilst it is possible to make $1000 in a week for an experienced affiliate marketer, to a beginner, there is a learning curve and that learning curve takes some time to straighten out.
If you do not know what affiliate marketing is, I have an overwhelming amount of information on my blog, that teaches you what it is. Click here to visit the archives or start specifically at this post.
In a nutshell, it is the ability to promote someone else’s product or services and in exchange for sending quality conversions like a lead, sale, phone call or app install, you are paid a commission.
Let’s say that if an affiliate offer pays you $100 for referring customers to their website, all you will need to do is find 10 qualified people and you would have made $1000 already.

Ecommerce with Shopify or Woocommerce
Dropshipping is the easiest way to do ecommerce and make $1000 in a week, so you do not have to spend time sourcing stock, holding inventory, fulfilling orders or going to the post office to ship orders.
Dropshipping is the provision of goods by direct delivery from the manufacturer or supplier of that product, to the customer. So you as the ecom store owner, are not involved in the delivery of the product.
You are only involved with the transaction details and customer service aspect.
If you were to set up an ecommerce store using Shopify or Woocommerce, you will need to find a supplier to provide the specific product you’d like to sell in your store.
You will also need to ensure that there is an agreement between you and the supplier, to ship the product to the consumer.
Lastly, there are so many marketplaces that you can promote your ecommerce store on. Marketplaces like Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Google, Microsoft Bing and even Amazon; because at the end of the day, if you have no traffic going to your store, you will not make that $1000 in a week.
Does ecommerce sound interesting to you? Check out my blog post that shares with you 8 courses that I would recommend you invest in, to help you master ecommerce.
Social Media Agency
If dealing with customers or selling products is not appealing to you, you may prefer to deal one-on-one with clients. This is where having your own agency or being a social media marketing freelancer may be an ideal scenario for you.
This option allows you to build a clientele and offer specific services for social media platforms, such as posting content, monitoring and managing comments from business’ fans, creating and setting up marketing campaigns for ads, etc.
If this is an area where perhaps you have managed your own social media account successfully and you would like a way to earn an extra $1000 in a week, then you may wish to offer this as a service.
To get started with this option, you will need to find a way to get clients first of all. There are many ways to get social media clients that range from Facebook business groups, from your own social media profile, from your local chamber of commerce, from networking events and even from running your own advertising campaigns on these very same platforms.
Sometimes starting your own social media agency and getting your first client, can be scary and you may need a guiding hand.
For that reason, I would recommend the Freelancer Roadmap by Julie Stoian. In this course you will learn how the freelancer/agency model sets you up for success in the marketplace, how to attract leads using sales funnels and convert those leads into six-figures for your business and how to book yourself with an email list, using free Facebook marketing methods.

Freelance Writer
There are over a million blogs on the internet, and that means that there are over a million bloggers.
With such a huge market, you are able to offer your services as a freelance writer to bloggers who simply have no time to write their own blog posts.
This was actually how Chris Kostopoulos was able to start his freelance business and go on to make over $3000 in less than 3 months.
If he was able to make over $3000 in less than 3 months, with a bit more work and effort, you can hit your goal of $1000 in a week.
The good thing about starting as a freelance writer, is that you do not need any experience. Of course a good command of English is necessary, if your intention is to pitch to English-speaking blog owners.
To get started as a freelance writer, it is good to pick a niche that you’d like to command, then search for and pitch to bloggers in that specific niche.
There is a lot more to starting on the right way to freelance writing, so I recommend Elna Cain’s freelance writing course, Write Your Way to $1k, to help you get started.
This is the exact course that Chris Kostopoulos used to get started.
He says “I had no idea how to write for the web when I bought it. Also, my English was on average (maybe even below) level. However, after my first month of purchasing it (not after I finish it), I’ve made more than $1000 writing online! The course fulfilled its promise! I was so excited I couldn’t believe it! Actually, I’d be happy even if I had made $500 in my first month! To be honest, this course made me what I am today. It taught me a skill that I can use to make a living for the rest of my life!”
Website Designer
With the emergence of so many website templates on WordPress and done for you websites, it is easy to offer website design services as a beginner and make your first $1000 in a week, without any experience.
I have seen website designers claim to watch YouTube tutorials to learn how to install and design a website, then go out and offer their skills as a service.
So if they can do that, why can’t you.
Website design is one of those services where you can justifiably charge upwards of $25,000 for one client. It is a very profitable skill to have.
So if you decided that you wanted to charge $1000 per web design client, then this might be easy money to make.
The hard part however is finding the clients and this is where it will take some time to actually go out into a marketplace and pitch your services.
It will also be a great idea to have your own website which you can use as a portfolio, so you can show the type of work you do. If you already have client work, be sure to display other work you have done, to help you close leads faster.
If you are looking for ideas on how to get web design clients fast, so you can make $1000 in a week, then head on over to my blog post How To Get Web Design Clients Fast for some handy tips.
Pinterest Virtual Assistant
A Pinterest virtual assistant is someone who provides Pinterest marketing assistance to business owners.
This type of assistance can include designing pins, pinning to Pinterest, creating Pinterest accounts and growing those accounts, getting followers to the account, getting clicks to pins and ultimately getting traffic to offers or blog posts.
Working with Pinterest is simple, if you know how to navigate the platform and most importantly how it works to drive traffic. Also there are many online business owners, who do not have the time to manage their accounts and would gladly pay a virtual assistant to take it over for them.
As a Pinterest virtual assistant, consider creating packages that focus on the above tasks.
Hourly rates are also a great pricing strategy.
You may need to secure at least two to four clients per week, to reach your income goal of $1000 a week.
If Pinterest marketing sounds like an opportunity you’d like to consider, but you do not know how to use it, then I would recommend taking the Pinterest Traffic Avalanche course, that teaches you everything you need to know about Pinterest marketing and how to get traffic to a website.
It is this course that helped me get over 32k visitors to my blog within four months and has given me the skills that I need to manage my own Pinterest account, to help grow my business.
Therefore if you would like to make a career for yourself as a Pinterest virtual assistant, then it is the best investment you can make for yourself. Click here to sign up for the Pinterest Traffic Avalanche course
Virtual Assistant
Then there is the virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is someone who provides basic administrative tasks to business owners, regardless of the niche.
Such administrative tasks can include customer service tasks, responding to emails and social media comments, spreadsheet and document management, internet research as well as any specific task that the business owner wants.
Typically no experience is needed as a virtual assistant.
If you do want to make $1000 a week, then you may have to secure at least four clients to reach that income goal. There are some virtual assistants who can easily charge $1000 a week per client, but this is dependent on their client avatar and whether you can target a market of high-paying clients.
Where can you go to find prospects to pitch to?
You can find virtual assistant clients in Facebook groups, on LinkedIn, you can do cold emailing or you can advertise your services.
If you are thinking of pitching your services here are a few tips to get started:
- Search job boards or freelance marketplaces like Upwork or People Per Hour for prospects
- Taking a course can give you a competitive advantage, since you can learn from someone who has had success in their line of work and use it to emphasise your unique qualities
- Create a website to demonstrate seriousness about your career choice and professionalism
- Consider offering Virtual Assistant services for free, so you can get reviews. Then use those reviews as leverage to gain higher-paying clients.
Course Creator
Do you have a skill or knowledge that you can package and turn into an online course? Online courses seem to have had the biggest impact in the online marketing arena, with course creators marketing their skills and profiting from it.
Online courses that are well put together and provide an overwhelming amount of value, can easily sell for $997 or more. You might think that this is a high price for an online course, but if the skill you are selling provides a great return on investment, then there is no reason why prospects would not choose to invest.
Of course, it is your goal as the course creator, to create content that shows why your course is beneficial to the prospect, how other people have used it to improve their lives and how your skills have improved your own life.
If selling a course for $997 or more creates anxiety or uncertainty, then you may want to consider taking a course that teaches you how to create a signature, high-ticket program.
These types of courses, will teach you how to market your skills, how to package it, how to use sales copy to sell the course, how to market and promote the course, amongst other important tasks that will set you in the right direction.
Sell Ebooks
Like online courses, ebooks are another online mini course, that you can create based off your skill or knowledge.
In fact, ebooks is one of the ways that I am able to make monetise this blog and if planned properly, can even make you $1000 in a week.
I had my first ebook product launch last year and I generated over $1400 in two weeks. With better planning, I am certain I would have been able to generate $1000 in a week. Click here to see a copy of my first paid ebook.
Because ebooks have a lower price threshold, that means you will need to sell at least 15 – 25 ebooks in a week, if you valued your ebook at $37 or more. Any value lower than $37, you will need to sell more of them, to reach your income goal.
To sell ebooks, you must have a robust marketing plan, that includes knowing the type of knowledge you want to sell, how you will create and design your ebook, how to get traffic to your ebook product and how to sell to your audience, to convert them into buyers of your ebook.
If you know how to do this, selling ebooks is a simple, worthwhile venture that you can do over and over again and continue to use as an income stream in your business.
Online Consultant or Coach
An online consultant or coach is another high-paying service that you can offer with huge benefits.
That’s because if you are teaching a profitable and marketable skill, where your prospects can quickly have a return on their investment, then it makes it rewarding to them, to invest in your services.
As a coach you can charge upwards of $500 per hour for your time. I have also seen some coaches charge upwards of $900 per hour for their time.
Depending on how you value your time, there is no limit to your income potential and certainly, if you have proven results, then there is no reason why you will not be able to command a high price and still convert prospects into clients.
Whilst placing a value on your coaching or consultant skills is easy, finding clients may be difficult. For that reason, my blog post How to Find High Paying Coaching Clients will give you some great ideas you can explore to get you started.
Hopefully once you have implemented the steps you will be on your way to making $1000 in a week.
Wrapping Up
There you have it. Ten ways that are currently working in today’s marketplace, that can help you generate $1000 in a week. Whilst it is easy to say you can make $1000 in a week, it does matter that you have a good plan and strategy for creating this type of income, plus the skills to justify the income.
As with anything, whilst most of the opportunities do not require that you have experience, it is always advantageous to you, to invest in yourself and so taking a course or even investing in a mentor is the right way to get one step ahead.
