ULPT Request: What are some quick (and borderline sketchy) ways to flip $1k into $5k fast?
Posted by Old-Boot-6518@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 588 comments
I’m sitting on about $1k and really need to turn it into $5k as fast as possible. Looking for ideas that might be a little 'grey area' or tips that don’t require a ton of upfront work. I’m not talking illegal, just... you know... bending the rules a bit.
I need the money until 15th january max, for the college semester sign up.
Has anyone here done anything like this? Please don’t say 'buy crypto,' I’ve been there already...
ps: I do got a part-time job which brings me in around $1k a month but after expenses and all I'm left with $500.
TooRandyTogether@reddit
Flip a couple cars. buy a dirty or minimally broken car, fix it up and sell it for double. 1k car can be easily turned into 2k car, and 2k car can be easily done up and sold for 4/5k. This can be done within a couple weeks too. The only thing borderline illegal is that you're not telling the tax man....
CandyCrisis@reddit
That's just doing work. You could probably also get a job that earns 4K in a month...
TooRandyTogether@reddit
I'd love to know how easy it is to get a job that pays 4k a month 💀
CandyCrisis@reddit
Average annual salary for a car repairman is actually about that much ($46K/yr)
TooRandyTogether@reddit
Which involves qualifications/ experience for that kind of pay I'm assuming? I live in Europe so safe to say we have differences. Starting fresh here you'd be getting 27-30k€ a year. A buddy of mine makes Around 45k€ with qualifications and years of experience
probsdriving@reddit
I flip cars for fun on occasion and yeah no. $1k cars that move under their own power are sold in minutes and ones that don’t are probably only worth $1k. Not happening unless you really know cars and how to buy them.
captainrex522@reddit
and thats assuming you have to the tools and resources on hand, and u can work with rust
on a different note, any tips to actually catch 2k cars before they get bought up? ill see them pop up but theyre gone before i can even look
probsdriving@reddit
Search alerts on Craigslist are a good idea. Facebook also has them but they’re nowhere near as useful.
Again, I flip cars for fun and not often. Sometimes I’ll find a great deal on a car I’d own for 3-6 months in another state and do a fly and drive. When I go to sell it I’ll make a few grand + my transportation for 6 months was free.
I also basically only buy manual transmission cars. Don’t have to compete with 90% of the flipper sharks because they can’t even drive them.
Bodhihana@reddit
This is best answer honestly. for 1000 you can find someone who just wants the damn thing gone, sell it for 1500. Rinse and repeat where you can. Buy old and sell to a college kid who's in need. If there is a will there's a way. You could also try and get a loan?
69696969-69696969@reddit
Fuck yeah man, learn how to detail a car and this gets way easier. Looks like shit and drives like shit? 1k$ Drives like shit but smells and looks nice? 2K$ easy. People put a lot of stock into what they see vs what's actually there. Same concept as house flipping honestly, just faster, cheaper and slightly more ethical.
alek_vincent@reddit
Good luck finding a 1k car that runs and drives and could look nice for next to no money. All the 1K cars around me need a new engine and have cracked front and rear bumpers and a busted windshield. Every once in a while you'll come across a 2k running and driving car but it's got an aftermarket unpainted bumper, windshield cracked enough to catch your wiper blades and a hole in the floor. I think it would make more sense to use it as is for Uber Eats
Bodhihana@reddit
Thais 100000%, looks sell. That's why power washering is also money
illestofthechillest@reddit
This, but scooters and motorcycles, except not this time of year probably :/
I've snagged so many <$500, "used to run then sat," bikes that just needed a carb cleaning over the years. Obviously, inspect for worse, expext to buy a battery, etc., and have the space to house and work on them.
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Buy drugs online in bulk to sell. I can’t think of anything else easy and borderline legal
ch_ex@reddit
Do not do this, op!
Unless you understand the drug trade, the second you're working "in bulk" you're dealing with people that are just as likely to kill you and take your shit if they see they can get away with it.
This is also fully illegal
ThisIsAUsername353@reddit
So glad you mentioned it’s illegal I was already on my way to Target to get some baking soda.
ch_ex@reddit
Never said it wasn't worth making for yourself so you can try it once
daman4114@reddit
1000 bucks of coke(to rock up) isn't close to working in bulk. Only carry 300-400 worth of rocks to slag and then just drop off the cash and re-up.
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Actually buying online is extremely safe nowadays. I know from personal experience. Aside from flower and those with connections to “family” it’s how most psychedelics are sourced. And most other chems too
Unusual_Event3571@reddit
As mentioned below, after a minute of googling OP could easily turn the 1000USD into low to mediocre quality crack, provided he has got at least basic household equipment and lives close to an an area it's common to be consummed.
I overheard someone saying the markup can grow to hundreds of percent if produced "economically" and proactively sold, split into small amounts. Would work exclusively in this particular branch, and especially at this time of the year.
e-s-p@reddit
E-40 even gives you the recipe
Mobe-E-Duck@reddit
Jail would be the least of his concerns.
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Hell he’d need to have some Chen background. Just get some RCs/psychedelics that are hard to come buy. Sell super easy if you are in the right crowd. .
TheFondestComb@reddit
Even easier, mushroom spores are legal to buy, might be slightly longer than a month to get all shipped to you but mushrooms are perfectly legal to buy online and grow for “science”
Key_Teaching_2150@reddit
Legal to buy… not to grow!
The only thing you’re legally allowed to do with spores is microscopy research.
Also OP said a month… it would take at least 3 before he has anything to sell… and that’s if his grow doesn’t fail (which happens often to even experienced growers)
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Thank you! Exactly what I said. Growin shrooms ain’t for a quick easy, it’s for the love.
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Nah, takes too long and if batch is ruined gotta start all over. Just buy some easily transportable Chems and run with that
Chokeblok@reddit
Don't forget to dye it blue for maximum profit!
TheFondestComb@reddit
Psychedelic mushroom spores are legally purchased online without ID. Grow bags for them are also sold online usually from the same store
call_it_sleep@reddit
This takes months from start to finish. Usually going from spore to mycelium takes a month by itself.

Hentai_Yoshi@reddit
Could probably get close to an ounce of cocaine for this price. If you get high quality, you could cut and re-rock it as well for additional profits.
WhalesLoveSmashBros@reddit
Use that water and baking soda to increase profits!
Hentai_Yoshi@reddit
I would personally not sell crack, but that’s just me. Coke heads typically have more money and are a bit less sketchy to deal with, but that’s just my personal experience.
Plus, IF OP already had college connections, he could hit the party scene. I used to sell a lot of coke to frat boys
But to be honest, with a months time, he’s going to accrue a lot more risk due to having to just try to push it to strangers rather than slowly developing a customer base.
willclerkforfood@reddit
Yeah, people are all “just develop a safe, reliable, and profitable supply chain and distribution network” like that’s the easy part.
ConsummateContrarian@reddit
This is probably the way to go if you’re going to break the law. Coke has better margins and more customers than ecstasy and LSD, and you’re less likely to get robbed than if you sold heroin or meth.
Wonderful_Net_9131@reddit
How is this even borderline legal?
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
It’s not I’m saying it is, I said I can’t think of anything that IS easy or borderline legal
Wonderful_Net_9131@reddit
"anything else" strongly implies your example would qualify as legal
Miserable-Rub-6029@reddit
Ok whatever. I ain’t gonna edit it just to annoy you further.

ButtholeAvenger666@reddit
There are drugs you can buy on the internet that are so new there aren't any laws that exist around them. Of course in the US they have those pesky analogue laws but elsewhere in the world this kind of stuff is fair game until the law catches up. You just have to know the law and what drugs do what and where to find them. Not easy but not impossible either.

There’s a popular sledding spot not too far away with a completely unmanaged dirt (or mud) lot for parking. It’s all completely unmaintained so no authority ever stops by. There’s only one entrance/exit. I thought it’d be a reasonable idea in college to put up an A-frame sign that says “Parking $10/vehicle” and stand by the entrance in a high vis vest. Bonus if you have a buddy or two also standing around looking bored with job. Lot probably held at least 100 cars, so $1k by lunch time.

Dude, look up Gary Vee and his clips about "Trash Talk" on YT. He shows how you a process on how you flip trash into cash. It takes effort, but if you need money and do not want to goto jail, this is a good option. Basically you can go and look at peoples yard sale crap, a thrift store or facebook marketplace and use your iphone to identify if their shitty matchbox car collection is worth anything, you buy it at their knockdown price and then re-sell it on ebay at its market value.
It's alot of effort, but some of his success stories have shown homeless people using free wifi and doing delivery of items they buy for pocket change and get themselves off the street. Other people find a groove and do it just to make extra money on the weekend. Good luck
Creashen1@reddit
You could try stocks, but it's not low effort, and you have to be on it when markets open and be ready to smash sell when stocks peak and start selling off.
So you could probably turn over 5k but there'd be a fair amount of time and mental effort involved ie spotting trends buying stocks that are at temporary lows.
Selling when they peak you can turn a tidy profit from it, but you have to have the time to invest in it.
WhalesLoveSmashBros@reddit
There is no semi legal way to turn 1k into 5k. If there was everyone would do it.
leicastreets@reddit
Buy camera, find niche, hustle for a month. (source: my career).
jaz4156@reddit
Can confirm this doesn’t work either. I’ve been a commercial fashion and wedding photographer for 5 years now and I’m not making even close to that amount.
cesar2598-@reddit
Sounds like your clientele sucks, stop doing low profit jobs and do more grown up tasks as a photographer
jaz4156@reddit
It’s not “my clientele” it’s just engaged couples and what they CAN afford or are willing to spend on a photographer. I’m not a victim to it. It’s happening to all of us collectively. I can’t convince someone to spend 8k on me that they don’t have.
Same way you can’t go into any job interview asking for 100k if the job description says 45k
I’m also not doing low offer jobs, I know I’m a great photographer both from a soft skills and hard skills perspective, others have also told me that. A lot of this profession is nuisanced
It’s about personal referrals and you can’t have those if no one knows you are. people can only know who you are if you have personal referrals.
Also I used to run google and Facebook ads to create momentum and market myself to the public, spent 6 months learning how to curate that just to get both my accounts banned immediately due to thier faulty Ai system because they accidentally flagged my content. Clearly having a business model relying on social media which can be shut down at any moment wasnt a sustainable or good idea.
And I’m tired of second shooting. I’ve paid my dues and I want to make MONEY money, but I’ve run out of avenues to make that happen and this ladies and gents I don’t make 5k a month
cesar2598-@reddit
Have you considered becoming a real estate photographer? 2 buddies of mine are killing it
jaz4156@reddit
Yes I have, a guy recruited me years ago and I went to a couple real estate shoots with him thinking he would take me under his wing and mentor me since he was looking to grow his team.
After 2x he stopped responding to my messages, my assumption is that he didn’t feel like mentoring / training me on angles / shots / setting up tripod / editing / etc etc he just wanted me to pick it up faster
cesar2598-@reddit
I wouldn’t even bother working under someone else, start off by calling a few agents, and offer your services your services cheap and it’ll snowball from there. All you need is a car and camera skills to pull this off
jaz4156@reddit
You mean just get random agents from Google and cold call them? How much would a low rate be?

ThisIsAUsername353@reddit
Yes there is.
Gamble.
20% (or so) of the time you’ll have the 5k. Especially gambling on something like roulette which has a roughly 95%+ payout.
If the 1k is completely worthless and expendable then 20% of the time OP can go to college. If not he loses 1k and can just wait until next year.
iHateReddit_srsly@reddit
There actually is a legal way to get 5k from that 1k without even risking the money you already have. It's called getting a job

If in a legal state with all the proper medical compliance yarda yada, some dispensaries you can buy shake/trim by the ounce or more. some people use that trim to make medicated budders, coconut oils etc. can make salves, baked items, put in food etc. recipes and method are out there/ even have little machines that make it easier. Can even use cbd trim to make it go further and sell the actual budder/coco oil.

Got in trouble in college for selling weed. Had to do pre trial intervention to get the charges expunged which costs about $5000. Had $1000 in savings, bought a ton of coke with it, and sold it to the frats. Took about 2 weeks and made my money

“Not illegal, just you know, bending the rules a bit.” So, robbing a pedophile? Look up your local sex offender list and get busy getting that 5k lol
h8rfirst@reddit
I have to work with sex offenders daily for my work, they are not TYPICALLY the type that would be worth robbing. So many of them have no vehicle, no reliable phone, no steady income/ housing situation. Atleast in my area, you’d have to rob several to crack $5k, and that would be if you’re lucky

Dragoneisha@reddit
Many mental health associates work with people like pedophiles. I personally advocate for rehabilitation over imprisonment, especially for nonoffenders, but that requires people to actually work with them.
If we want to reduce harm, then some people have to be willing to work with those who do harm.
pizzapit@reddit
I understand that . I speak a lot about rehabilitation and it's lack of priority in my state. I don't know much about this work tho so that's my ignorance
Dragoneisha@reddit
That's fine, you don't have to know! I'm just sharing my experience and thoughts because it was relevant.
h8rfirst@reddit
I work at a sheriff office and they have to come in to register. They are by far the most irritating part of the job. For whatever reason they expect to be babied, they always expect exceptions to be made when they can’t follow simple instructions. They almost always have someone with them like a family member or girlfriend who they expect to do everything for them like they are a toddler.

manginahunter1970@reddit
Trust me, you don't want sex offenders focused on you or your family. The tough guy/gun talk doesn't do anything to deter these folks.
In most cases, you'd put your family at risk unless you picked on a homeless pedophile.
Goatesq@reddit
I have never in my life seen a scary pedophile. It's never some dude who goes looking for trouble with people his own size. >90% of them are the most sniveling, archetypal beta looking greaseball troglodytes on earth. Like physiognomy is generally bullshit but there's some niche cases and this is one.
manginahunter1970@reddit
Still, you have to weigh the risks.
The ones you see in the news generally are creepy AF, soft handed and pot bellied with no social skills. That couldn't be further from the the majority of them.
I had the "pleasure" of working with sex offenders for almost 10 years and I can tell you that the most devious of them are protected by church and family.
They make excuses for their sex offender relatives, or congregants and oftentimes blame the victims.
Most are smarter and more nefarious than society wants to give them credit for.
The classic pedophile is probably the most dangerous and most never get caught.
Chances are the creepy drunk uncle isn't an actual pedophile. Just a drunk opportunist that would do the same to a woman/man of age if opportunity arose.
The bottom line is, if you catch one in the act, God wouldn't protect them. The ones you have to worry about the most are the ones that haven't been caught.

Same boat a few months ago, actually managed to flip my initial investment by following a stock signal group I came across. They track high-frequency traders and institutional moves, so you basically know what’s about to spike.
I was skeptical at first, but they’ve been pretty spot on so far. They work mainly with penny stocks, sometimes I even think if they’re into inside info or pump&dump but who cares lol, they are making me bags.

“Gambling” doesn’t mean a coin toss, you can totally make educated decisions in gambling. But sometimes you’re holding a 4 of a kind, you bet big, and the other guy has a straight flush. Then you’re at $0k of your $5k goal, even though the odds were heavily in your favor. There’s no month-long 400% ROI that isn’t a gamble.

Buy a bunch of cheap eggs from Costco/Walmart, get fancy packaging and a bunch of posters advertising your "farm" and sell them as %100 Organic Free Range Antibiotic Free eggs at a local farmers market in a hipster area.
You can do the same with honey also. If you live in Arizona for example, just get the cheapest honey you can in bulk and re-bottle it in fancy bottles and call it "Sonoran Desert Wildflower Manuka Honey 850 MGO+" and have a random photo of a beekeeper in uniform next to the hive giving a thumbs up and tell people it's you in the picture.

Depending on where you are located, download all the sportsbooks in your stats and use the free bets to promote convert and arbitrage 4k definitely very possible if your state has draft kings, FanDuel, and fanatics
Vikkskid@reddit
what free bets?don't you have to put considerable amounts of money into the accounts to get any type of promotional free money?
Noswad983@reddit
For example an easy one is draft kings. You deposit $5, make a $5 bet, and you get $150 in bonus bets. You can either use that money to try to win or use a promo converter one line to get most of that money guaranteed
Vikkskid@reddit
Yea thats not true. Ive seen that promo before and looked at the terms cause it sounded fishy. You would have to deposit $5 and keep winning to the the point that you play through $3750 to get the $150. Unless you know differently from personal experience?

So, go talk to your school & any advocacy groups.
Talk to billing & the registrar. Tell them you intend to pay the balance and have XXX to pay down, and XXX a week after, but you really need to sign up for classes. Balance being humble and advocating for your education, and try to work with them on what they’re allowed to do. They will usually let you register for class & attend as long as you keep your shit together.
Many advocacy groups have emergency grants for people in tight situations like you. Once you start the process with billing and the registrar, start hitting up as many student support services as possible. I’d also recommend checking if financial aid has any other loans you qualify for (this tends to be a dead end, occasionally you’ll find out about stuff like if your parent has been declined for a parent plus loan you will be able to take out a little bit more under under your name).
You got this, don’t fuck it up. Panic makes bad decisions.

Not even remotely illegal but you could try gambling it on stock options. Look at a company like Tesla that moves 5-10’s of dollars a day. Pick if you think it’s going up (buy a call) or if you think it’s going down (buy a put). 1k could very easily double or triple if you choose wisely.
Options allow you to trade with 100 shares of a company without spending the money on 100 shares. With highly volatile companies like Tesla, the value of your option will decrease significantly over the course of a week so it’s important to get in and out within a short period of time 1-3 days. I would argue this is less risky then outright gambling if you do your research.

Oh just rob a bank. They are trained to do exactly what you say & typically can’t chase you in any way. Just tell them to not give you a dye pack or tracking device. You want to go around mid morning after business deposits to get the most money. Ask for the money in the second drawer, don’t waste time going to vault. Make sure your face is hidden, have clothes to strip off immediately after exit, SHOES INCLUDED, do not talk to anyone, pass a note & GET IT BACK, wear gloves (duh), and if the location is close to an interstate and has an easy exit, no loops or anything like that, you are likely to get away with it. A LOT of people get away with bank robberies if they follow these tips.
I witnessed this happen and he got away.lol I’ve never robbed a bank…..but this is the most unethical tip I can give you.
If anyone tries this & gets caught, you’re fucked, so don’t do it.
Oh yeah, make sure to tell the teller to hurry up, DO NOT PRESS THE ALARM OR ALERT OTHER EMPLOYEES.
Oh yeah, don’t go home and start googling the robbery to see if there are any updates bc if you get in trouble for domestic violence and the police confiscate your computer, they might link the two and you are caught months later.

You can make more than 5k in a night by throwing a rave, party, gig etc and selling tix on a platform like humanitix etc. Although those platforms do take a bit of time to pay out.
Problem is it costing you only 1k to do it. I used to be able to get away with that, but it requires having the connections and good will to get the venue, artists and gear for free or cheap and have the cause be good enough for people to want to give to it.
Tix can be expensive if the lineup is very good or there are additional perks like free booze or food inclusive in ticket price. A lot of burner theme camps make their own booze and raise money for their camp this way.

Take advantage of online sportsbook new user promos. There are guides out there that explain how to minimize risk or maximize ev, whichever works for you.

Borrow an EV. Better margins using an EV for rideshare. Just make sure you find FREE charging and make your downtime is charging time.
MickeyM191@reddit
Yeah I was reading through these waiting for someone to say rideshare. You will need a qualifying vehicle. Depending on your market, day of the week, and fuel costs you can net 20-40/hr for passenger delivery. With Uber you can also drive 12hrs online then switch to something like Doordash or Lyft while waiting the 6 or 8hrs for Uber's required break. So the unethical part here would be to run 16 to 18hr days with very little sleep, maybe some Adderall, caffeine, other stimulants to power through. You could technically net $3k in a week of 18hr days if your vehicle can take the wear and tear.
DeadlyClowns@reddit
Yeah and I guess if your vehicle doesn’t qualify for uber you can try DoorDash

Now you’re really close to $5k. Do it one more time, same strategy.

During Covid I had a friend who would buy puppies from people who were selling them cheap, even hit up some native reserves and put up posters saying she would buy puppies for $100 each or something like that, she would take them to the vet and get them papers/shots/make sure they were healthy and then could sell them for like $1000 give or take depending on the breed. Some of them were mixed breed but she lied and said they were pure (unethical but not illegal) she would also buy kittens cheap/get for free and sell them for like $100-150 these animals on reserves just end up on the street anyways. Only thing is you’d have to keep them at your place until they found homes and she also switched vets so they didn’t get suspicious just say your dog had puppies and ask for the vet records to give to the new families when they’re rehomed. Also would drive a couple hours to get them or sell them but worth it.
WorkdayDistraction@reddit
I have a way, if you’re in the US and live in a mobile Sportsbook-legal state. Almost every sportsbook offers a one-time sign up offer that can, if done properly, be used to generate guaranteed profit. No, it’s not a scam and it’s not even truly gambling, but you can only use it once (per SSN). Conceptually, you’re getting free bets and hedging them with real money for a calculated profit. These can’t lose, if done properly.
I recommend googling “dark horse odds” and thoroughly reading their guides for this on their website. Each sign up offer for each book should generate between $80-600 risk free if done correctly, and you should be able to do it by 1/15. This can at least get you most of the way there.
Just be careful and don’t start actually gambling with it.

Get yourself term life insurance. I have a 10-year policy thru State Farm, I pay $15/mo, and the payout if you go to the ER is $400, and if I get checked into a hospital and stay overnight I get paid $800. Is it life insurance fraud? 100% yes. But is it possible? Also 100% yes. Fun fact: if you have a migraine gnarly enough for multiple days and are dehydrated and gets to the point where you’re blacking out, you can go to the ER and they help you out with a migraine cocktail in an IV. They don’t hold overnight for that one, but I’m sure you can get creative.

In State Farm parlance, that’s called a “Hospital Income Policy”.

No unethical but if you are in a uni town there is probably theater and concerts, you could go for stagehand work. It's not hard to sign up with the union and the gigs are pretty intermittent but on the real long ones you can make like 5-800 dollars in a day mostly pushing boxes. Mind you those calls are not super duper common. If you are going to try gambling do some research on trading card markets and just open packs and sell cards online. The chances are mathematically a little better than other gambling options, and it IS unethical because it is considered scalping. Oh! Or just scalping in general, speaking of shows and theaters and the like. That's a gamble too though.

Cigarette types, weed, vape flavors, fireworks.
I did this with cigarettes. I used to travel, for work, near a native American reservation. I could buy their cigs for $20 to $25a carton. I'd resell them for $5 to $7 a pack where the local average price is $8 to $13. Not a huge per pack but I'd do ~20 cartons a time and usually net $200+ per run.

GameStop earnings are tomorrow. Usually there is a big dip after earnings regardless of their results - stock is heavily manipulated. Buy a bunch of OTM puts right now and sell on the dip after earnings

r/WallStreetbets. You can leverage 1k in a way that it's something immediately. A little research goes a long way and a little more goes a lot longer. This is risky by the way, not sketchy

$450 for a pistol. $200 on a solvent trap, $50 for a drill bit, $25 for an ad for taking out CEOs for $5k.
Profit.

Sketchy is buying hot Christmas items for cheap and flipping them. That's real risk. It's almost certainly too late to bulk buy Christmas trees and sell them. Any such scheme is hard work if it works and no guarantees.
I assume you don't have established credit at the level that you can just borrow the money. There are businesses that will loan the money; generally they are the unethical part of this deal.
Do you have a car in which you have this kind of equity, perhaps after paying down any financing with the $5G? Not unethical tho.
I assume you cannot get family to back you, even with the grand in escrow as collateral. Also not unethical tho.
nks12345@reddit
some none sketchy ways might be to buy some tools and help people out. Try working on cars helping folks change oil or minor maintenance, especially on common vehicles. You'll find tutorials on YouTube for just about every Corolla or Camry. You could change oil, brakes, spark plugs, rotate tires all pretty easily with just a floor jack, sockets, and a torque wrench.
You could rent a $20 truck from Home Depot and offer to help folks move or haul trash to the dump.
Buy a camera and offer to take holiday photos for families.

Take the grand to the bookies around lunchtime. Watch the horse racing odds. Look for something that's been bet in from 8+to1 that's been bet in to 4ish to 1 in a short period of time before the off. This usually means there's someone in the know and words got out that the horse in question has been rode badly on purpose in previous races and the owners got the bookies thinking it's a dud, making them offer good odds but as people start piling money on at the last minute the bookies need to adjust the odds to cap their losses if it does win so they slash the odds. No guarantee but through my experience it's a good sign the horse is gony win, or at least the trainer/owner thinks it will. This is how I pick a horse and it works regularly.

Honestly you could probably just use that $1000 as seed money for a new crypto coin. Hype it up all over social media and come up with a clever name. Once people start buying into it, you can do a rug pull and cash it out. I feel like this should be illegal (and anyone is free to chime in if it is or isn’t) but it hasn’t stopped many influencers from doing this crap. You’d better leave town afterwards as people will be after you if you do this.
Such_Truth_5550@reddit
Match betting will land you about 1k in a month. You'll need savings to lay off bets. I did it for 6 months and ended up with 5k. I'm now banned from every betting site in the UK though.
That 5k went into crypto and is now worth about 800. easy come, easy go. So don't do this step.

If you put in the work you can buy things like different coomies and put them in 1 packet. Sell them door to door. Same for candy etc. It works better with a pity story. Like ypu are funding college for your little brother and are only 500$ short.
I learned this in the scouts, the bought absolute trash repackaged it and used kids to sell it.

you could sell caffeine pills to unexperienced people as something else, they will feel stimulated not strongly, but if they don’t know how they should feel they’ll just assume it was bad quality or low dose. you’re not selling drugs, you’re selling OTC medications. I mean this surely is illegal in some way, but I think it’s low risk
