If you had to make an extra $100 this week, could you do it? Most people would probably say yes.<\/p>\n

But what about an extra $1,000? Hmm\u2026now that\u2019s quite a bit harder. Most of us might have a difficult time getting that amount of money together at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/span><\/p>\n

How about an extra $5,000? If you had an emergency, could you pull together a spare $5k for an unplanned expense? For 99.9% of the population, the answer is a resounding \u201cHell No!<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s article, I\u2019m going to show you the step-by-step process I used to make almost $24,000 in a single month \u2014 that\u2019s just about $6,000\/week<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t borrow the money from a rich uncle or do weird, illegal things to get it. I simply used skills I already had to pitch myself and start a freelance business.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll break down exactly how I did it below \u2014 and if this article helps you, read to the end, where I\u2019ve created a free bonus full of advanced material + strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSell yourself first, if you want to sell anything.\u201d \u2013 Burt Lancaster<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When people ask me what the best ways to make money are, sometimes I laugh. Not because the question is stupid, but because, well, there really is no \u201cright<\/em>\u201d answer. The truth is that almost anything<\/i> can make money. But first, you have to change your mindset<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

You must start viewing your skills and experiences as bankable, valuable resources worth paying for. You (yes, you<\/em>) can help someone with skills and knowledge that you already have. The easiest way to do this is by freelancing. (If you\u2019re struggling to think of valuable skills, here are some ideas and specific examples.<\/b><\/a>)<\/p>\n

All that being said \u2026 I have good news and bad news for you.<\/p>\n

The good news: <\/b>There are several online freelance marketplaces like Elance and oDesk that allow you to offer your services, get clients, and start making money quickly, even if you\u2019re a complete beginner.<\/p>\n

The bad news:<\/b> These freelance marketplaces can be extremely competitive and overwhelming. If you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, the competition can be very intimidating.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let that discourage you.<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m going to show you the simple \u201chack<\/em>\u201d I used to make $24,000 on Elance in four weeks designing simple WordPress websites. (Note: the strategies here apply for any freelance skill, not just web design.)<\/p>\n

If you stick around until the end, I\u2019ll also give you some tools to help you get an even bigger jump on the competition.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Use sneaky research on your competition<\/h2>\n

Before you start, you\u2019ll need to know what exactly you\u2019re getting yourself into.<\/p>\n

Specifically, you need to know:<\/p>\n
