8 Legit Ways to Make 1000 Dollars Fast

Get Paid to Play Games ($27 Per Hour)

The best way to race to 1000 dollars fast is by getting paid to play games. Now more than ever there are thousands of games paying players to test out new features, quests etc.

I have been a mobile gamer for years, and this has been the most chill, easy ways to earn. I earn roughly $25 an hour, however I have seen more from other earners who play on platforms like Freecash. 

Freecash not only has games, but also surveys, videos, and much more where you can easily get rewarded. Unlike other apps, Freecash constantly pays high end for their tasks. The tasks are relatively easy, and the best part is you don't have to be a mastermind to get paid. Simply test, and earn money. 

Here is how I got started: 

1. Sign up to Freecash using your email, Google or Facebook account.
2. Claim a $5 sign up bonus for being a new user. 
3. Complete tasks like leveling up in a game or taking some surveys.
4. Cashout using payout methods like Paypal. 

There are of course other ways to get paid being a gamer, however this is by far one of the easiest ways to earn gaming. No matter your skill set, earning is easy. 

Underground Boxing ($5k+ Per Win)

Pretty niche, but if you are a boxer or are relatively fit, there are gigs that pay you to fight as a hobby. I've seen boxers earn up to $5,000 or even more, but an average for beginners may be slightly less.

Usually, to get into these kinds of gigs you will need to first have a connection to a boxing trainer. Trainers for hard core boxing are found in personal training establishments. You can find these by simply searching for "personal boxing trainers" in Google.

I actually was able to do this myself, and if it wasnt for tearing my ACL, I wouldve have taken the sport more seriously. 

You can really make some money from this ($5,000 to $10,000), however, it would probably take time, and underground boxing is not always agreed with in every region. So make sure you are earning under a legal contract. 

Donate Plasma ($500+ Per Six Months)

Although every six months can take a while, you can earn $1,000 extra per year by doing this. Sometimes, this is the easiest option if you do not want ot try to get a second job or side hustle.

I know plenty of people who do this, and usually they only say positive outcomes. Unless you are rather weak physically, make sure you clear it with your personal doctor first. 

Heres the safe way to get started: 

1. Find a Donation Center: Use the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA) locator.
2. Check Your Eligibility: You must be atleast 18 years old and pass a medical examination.
3. Schedule an Appointment: Once you found a center, schedule your appointment. 

If you need $1000 in a month, this may not be the direct option, but it is good if you want some extra savings to keep on tap for emergencies.

Mow Lawns ($150+ Per House)

Mowing the lawn sounds pretty basic. I get it. But hey, its something almost everyone in houses need. Even if you live in an apartment, you can still rent a trailer and mower for cheap, go to nearby neighborhoods, and offer to mow lawns. 

This doesn't require too much professionalism unless you are going for more business than earning a quick $1,000. In this case, creating flyers, owning a reliable mower, and understand basic landscaping would help you get clients quicker. 

Usually people dont want to spend a ton of money this, so offering around $150 each home is pretty cheap and reasonable, and earning $1,000 can be earned relatively quick (2 weeks maximum) during peak summer season.  

If no ones home, just leave a small note stating who you are, what you offer, and your number in case they would like to contact you later. 

Clean Windows ($150+ Per House)

Cleaning windows has a similar approach as mowing lawns does. Usually this may require a bit of understanding hwo to properly clean windows. 

Window cleaning may feel a bit intrusive to some people, so its important to be presentable and honest. It helps if you have personal business cards for this, which can be easily made if you go to places like Office Depot or Staples. 

When offering your service, intro yourself to your neighbor, tell them about what you do, how long it may take you, and your general price. $150 is usually okay, and you can earn 1,000 dollars within just a few days or couple weeks. 

Flip Furniture ($200+ Each)

Slipping furniture can py from $200 to even $2,000 for each piece. Think I'm joking? Check Facebook Marketplace and you'll know I'm not.

People love flipped furniture for many reasons:

• Its classic
• Its reused
• It hold its quality

And while flipping might take a few weeks, the result and pay really makes it worth. I have a freind who flips furniture as her personal hobby, and she told me she makes around $5,000 a month from just re-purposing, painting, and restoring old pieces. 

You can restore any type of furniture, however the most common are bed side tables, dressers, and wardrobes. You can also do coffee tables, but sometimes those are pretty time consuming. 

Drive for Uber ($20-$25 Per Hour)

Uber is a classic option this day and age. With driving and deliveries so high in demand, it can be pretty easy to sign up and get started. The best part about Uber that I like is how fast you can actually start earning. 

While getting start is fast, though, it can be competitive, and you will need to consider gas prices and exchange of value. There are competing delivery apps too like Just Eat, Deliveroo and Postmates. They are all comparable to Uber, though, and its a great method. 

You can also opt out for food deliveries and simple be a taxi or share driver. This however is not always everyones choice, but it does pay pretty decent and some even make it a full time job. 

Find Gigs on Upwork ($5-$100 Per Hour)

Upwork is perfect if you like to be online, have a few online skills, and want some extra cash. Upwork can pay users from a variety of different skills like:

• Graphic Design
• Content Writing/Copywriting
• Frontend Development
• Admin Tasks

There really isnt an end to possibilities here. Even I got paid for just filling out an Excel sheet for someone for $100. Its pretty broad, and you can earn quite a bit. 

You would face high competition on Upwork however, as it is full of freelancers adn people who hace used it as their full time job platform. However, you can also check out other ways to earn money online even if its on Fiverr or other platforms.
