Analysts in the mortgage industry are projecting that 2024 will be a better year than 2023 across the board. In a HousingWire report, analyst firm Jeffries said that they believe the worst of the current mortgage cycle is behind us, and Moody’s forecasts that the Federal Reserve will decrease rates three or four times this year.
According to those analysts, lenders may have sold their mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) throughout 2023 to increase short-term liquidity, putting them at a disadvantage when refis pick up. In the article, Moody’s said they anticipate an increase in MSR sales in 2024, which will result in a short-term gain in liquidity at the expense of a weaker franchise in the future.
Why should lenders retain servicing? Maintaining MSRs generates servicing fee income and helps servicers improve the customer experience. Additionally, modern mortgage servicing software and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) automate investor reporting and compliance and create a more efficient workflow, effectively allowing servicers to service loans in-house to maximize their advantages.
In-house servicing is essential for customer satisfaction and retention
Transferring servicing to another institution jeopardizes customer satisfaction. According to J.D. Power’s 2023 U.S. Mortgage Servicer Satisfaction Study, overall customer satisfaction with mortgage servicers drops significantly among the customers who had their mortgage transferred to a servicer that they did not choose. Overall satisfaction scores are 119 points lower when customers do not choose their servicer.
Retaining servicing helps lenders build borrower trust and loyalty. When servicing is done in-house, servicers can provide the exceptional communication and customer service that customers expect. When servicing is outsourced, lenders have no control over the quality of the communication and overall customer service delivered by the third-party provider.
In addition to benefiting customers, in-house servicing generates significant revenue. Well-trained staff using the right mortgage servicing software can service 700 or more loans per employee. Using the average loan size in January 2024 of $414,900, along with the standard service fee of 25 basis points for the year, each servicing employee can generate more than $726,000 in annual service fee income alone. Late fees and commissions on optional insurance can also increase revenue.
By retaining servicing, lenders maintain relationships with borrowers, enhancing a lender’s ability to cross-sell products. This allows the marketing of various other offerings such as credit cards, car loans or depository accounts to clients with whom the lender already has a relationship. If lenders don’t retain servicing, they give away their direct access to these borrowers and first-hand visibility to their mortgage loans. Additionally, effective loan servicing builds a bond where the servicer becomes a trusted advisor to the homeownerDigital technologies can help lenders reduce errors, costs, and processing times, delivering better service. APIs provide an interface that enables servicing applications to communicate back and forth easily without user awareness or intervention. One of the most significant benefits of utilizing APIs is their workflow automation. APIs facilitate the integration of software programs, enabling mortgage professionals to establish a robust technological environment that facilitates automatic communication between systems.
Enhanced automation offers numerous advantages, such as decreased errors, reduced staffing hours and costs, and smoother operations. In addition to saving time, APIs minimize errors stemming from human oversight. They also grant borrowers faster, real-time access to statements and loan information through the consumer-facing website.
By utilizing APIs, lenders and servicers can automate their processes and eliminate much manual labor, allowing them to deliver loan information to borrowers and reporting to investors more quickly and accurately. For example, using the API with FICS’ mortgage servicing software Mortgage Servicer, lenders can maximize their capabilities, ensuring a user-friendly solution for servicers that automates residential servicing operations. Automated services include payment processing, investor reporting, escrow administration, custodial accounting, imaging and report writing. Additionally, borrowers can log into online banking for up-to-date information and to view their statements electronically.
Servicing software simplifies compliance and investor reporting
Mortgage servicing software undergoes regular updates to adapt to evolving regulations and standards. In addition to this, servicers require software capable of automating investor reporting. Servicers are obligated to report payment and default activities to the GSEs routinely. These reports must fulfill daily and monthly funding requirements, meet other specified reporting criteria, address discrepancies and reconcile custodial accounts.
Top-tier mortgage servicing software platforms like Mortgage Servicer are equipped to handle all industry-standard reporting methods. They generate reconciliation, remittance, delinquency, prepaid and balance reports, and they manage the advance and recovery of Principal and Interest (P&I) and Taxes and Insurance (T&I).
Another critical aspect of seamless reporting is having direct access to all loan data in the database. While loan origination and servicing systems offer standard reports, servicers need more tailored reports to manage loans efficiently. Mortgage Servicer ensures lenders access to all their data, and in addition to extracting data within the system, lenders have the flexibility to extract any data directly from the database tables. Data can easily be extracted in report or a variety of file formats, allowing servicers to conveniently customize reports and create files for other software integrations.
Seamless data flow into and out of a mortgage company is critical to creating a high-efficiency enterprise. Data portability is vital. The best software ensures full access, making migrating data to another vendor or just sharing data with other systems easier. This allows lenders the freedom to work with various software vendors, peace of mind knowing they can access their data at any time and flexibility to adapt if the lender’s needs change.
It’s easy to see why more institutions are choosing to service their loans and why modern servicing software is currently in high demand. Servicing retention is critical to customer retention and revenue at a time when the lender’s profitability may depend upon it.

In the current mortgage landscape, ensuring the highest standards of loan quality is paramount not only during the origination process but also over the life of the loan. As the mortgage industry grapples with a changing market and regulatory complexities, we sat down with Amanda Phillips, Executive Vice President of Compliance at ACES Quality Management, to discuss how lenders can foster long-term success through a robust servicing QC process.
HousingWire:What were some of the challenges faced by lenders in 2023, and what is the outlook for 2024?
Amanda Phillips: 2023 was a year of trials and tribulations for financial institutions. Mortgage applications hit their lowest level since 1996, and lenders were faced with the compounding challenges of dwindling origination volume, soaring home prices, rising interest rates and inadequate housing inventory.
Thankfully, the tune of the housing industry has changed over the last few weeks. Analysts predict 2024 will bring a rise in mortgage origination volume and, potentially, several cuts to interest rate. While the challenge of low housing inventory persists across the country, I have a feeling loan officers will be busier. While the industry basks in the much-needed optimism for 2024, one thing is for certain, quality control (QC) and compliance are still important and worthy of lenders’ attention. An uptick in origination volume tends to bring an uptick in QC defects.
HW:Why is quality control (QC) crucial for lenders in the mortgage industry, and how can lenders maintain QC effectively?
AP: QC is crucial for lenders to ensure loan quality and mitigate risk. A well-rounded QC program can catch loan defects before regulators arrive for exam or investors send loans back for re-purchase. Operational capacity and the staggering cost to originate are challenges lenders will continue to face, leading many lenders to offset this hurdle by maintaining mortgage servicing rights (MSR). To maintain profitability through MSR, lenders also needa robust servicing QC program.
Maintaining QC begins with regularly assessing the integrity of both servicing portfolios and staff to ensure they adhere to all relevant servicing rules, guidelines and regulations. Fortunately, QC is a crucial area where lenders can see immediate returns from easy-to-implement audit and compliance technology. Lenders are advised to regularly review and update operational/compliance procedures and quality control frameworks, conduct self-assessments to test those updates, and, of course, remediate findings.
To mitigate and manage inherent servicing risks, your risk management team must identify your institution’s specific risk areas. From there, your internal audit team should ensure the proper processes and procedures are in place to address those risks. Subsequently, the QC team is responsible for verifying, from a transactional perspective, that your organization aligns its actions with its declarations and takes necessary measures regarding associated risks. Traditional methods, such as manual tracking and spreadsheets, make this process all the more prone to mistakes. This is why utilizing audit technology is so powerful; mistakes are significantly reduced, and efficiencies gained through less manual entry needed from the QC team.
The CFPB’s priorities signal the importance of self-assessment and remediation. Dot your I’s and cross your T’s with a paper trail. Lenders should review their in-house practices to ensure they meet the standard and compare with the recommendations from regulators.
HW:What role does the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) play in the mortgage servicing landscape, especially concerning compliance with the CARES Act and servicing regulations?
AP: The CFPB continues to emphasize compliance with the CARES Act and other servicing regulations, particularly in areas like fair lending, fair servicing, and forbearance. Over the last several years, they have clearly stated the priorities of fair lending and achieving equitable and fair housing programs. The CFPB has actively stated that strictly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) and automated complex credit models will not be tolerated. If a borrower was denied, the lender needs to be able to accurately speak to and explain why and how the decision was made.
This is just another area of how implementing a robust QC process can help lenders avoid these regulatory pitfalls. With audit technology, lenders will have this process documented and ready to pull up in the event of a regulatory audit or discrepancy.
HW:What steps should servicers take to identify and manage inherent servicing risks?
AP: Servicers should identify specific risk areas, establish proper processes, and conduct audits against policies and procedures. An example of a process improvement could be a Call Monitoring program. Consumer telephone interactions are an essential aspect of servicing that is easy to overlook from a quality perspective. No matter how many controls are in place, the need for human interaction, especially as it relates to collections and loss mitigation efforts, can result in an increased risk of non-compliance. Lenders can leverage a robust Call Monitoring program to identify where improvements are needed to protect the organization from regulatory and reputational risk. ACES Quality Management has a pre-built, configurable Call Monitoring audit pack that enables servicers to establish an additional layer of protection quickly and seamlessly within your QC program.
As financial institutions navigate the intricate web of compliance requirements and market fluctuations, ACES not only enables adherence to regulatory standards but it elevates the entire loan quality paradigm. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement while equipping professionals with powerful data-driven insights, ACES becomes an invaluable ally in mitigating risks and enhancing operational efficiency.
The significance of robust quality control and management in the mortgage sector cannot be overstated. In an environment where precision and compliance are non-negotiable, ACES stands as a testament to innovation and adaptability.

19 Ways To Get Paid To Workout
Below are the best ways to get paid to work out. From popular money-making apps to full-time jobs, there are many people and companies that pay you to work out.
1. Sweatcoin
Sweatcoin is a free app that pays people to walk.
The app rewards daily steps with Sweatcoin currency (coins) that lets you spend the credits on gift cards (such as to Amazon or Starbucks), iPhones, Apple Watches, donate it to charity, and more. Other rewards include a free subscription to meditation apps, a free Scribd trial, wireless headphones, massage memberships, discounts on Barkbox, coffee subscriptions, gym memberships, and more.
This is one of the most popular apps in the world ever, with over 120,000,000 registered members.
2. Stepbet
Stepbet is another popular fitness app that pays you for walking. You can connect your fitness tracker (such as your Apple Watch, Fitbit, Samsung Health, or Google Fit) to the app and even set weekly step goals to keep you motivated.
The app works like this: You select a game to get your step goals, then bet into the pot to join. If you meet your weekly step goal, you can split the pot and get your bet back plus make a profit.
This app makes it easy to stay motivated to walk because you have a financial stake in it as well. This is a great way to get paid to work out from home.
3. Healthywage
Healthywage is one of the most popular fitness apps that pays you to lose weight. Once you’re on the site, you enter how much weight you want to lose. You also enter how long you’ll have to complete the weight loss goal and how much money you want to bet per month.
For example, if I wanted to lose 30 pounds in under 9 months and bet $60 of my own money, my prize range is between $588-$1,116.
There are weekly weigh-ins and support from other contestants to help you get closer to your weight loss goal. If you complete the weight loss goal, you win the prize.
The purpose of HealthyWage is to motivate you to lose weight and make it more motivating and engaging by using a financial incentive.
4. DietBet
DietBet is a platform with the concept of social networking with weight loss goals. DietBet functions essentially as a dieting game where contestants can bet money on the ability to meet their weight loss goals within a certain time frame. Winners get to keep the cash reward.
To get started with DietBet, you join a game that is basically a body weight loss challenge. You place a monetary bet into a communal pot. Whoever wins the pot (and achieves their weight loss goal) gets the divided winnings at the end of the challenge.
To make sure that everyone is playing fairly, you have to submit verifiable weigh-ins at the beginning and end of each challenge via photos or videos.
5. Fit For Bucks
Fit For Bucks is a workout app that pays people to walk, dance, run, and stay active. To get started, download the Fit For Bucks app and connect your activity tracker or Apple Watch. Then you can get moving and start earning rewards for your daily movement.
Rewards include things like free coffee, money towards fitness studios, free haircuts, and more. The goal of this app is to get people active and motivated to move more.
6. Waybetter
Waybetter makes losing weight fun by challenging you with fitness-related games. This app turns what could be described as boring into something that makes healthy habits sustainable and fun to help you on your weight loss journey.
The app works by making games that create micro goals and gives you accountability and support from other like-minded people. Games on Waybetter include things like walking at least 8,000 steps a day, drinking a certain amount of water, decluttering your home, reading books, flexibility challenges, increasing your plank time, and many more.
7. Charity Miles
Charity Miles is a little different than the other apps mentioned in that it doesn’t reward you personally. Instead, your rewards go to the charity of your choice.
To get started, download the Charity Miles app. The app connects with your phone’s Apple Health app and automatically pulls the steps from there. Any fitness devices linked to your Health app will sync to the app. The app turns all of your miles you walk, run, and bike into money for charity.
You can track all kinds of activities for Charity Miles including walks, runs, bike rides, shopping, golfing, dancing, and anything step-related.
8. Rover
One of my favorite ways to make extra money is walking dogs on Rover. Rover is an app that connects dog walkers with dog owners. I have been a Rover dog walker and absolutely loved it. I have been paid for walking dogs (which gave me exercise for the day) and spending time with really cute pets.
To get started on Rover, make a profile and list what services you offer. If you have previous experience dog walking, this is a major plus and will make you stand out from other dog walkers.
If you don’t have previous experience walking dogs, set your rates lower than other people on the app. This will make your rates competitive and you’ll get chosen quicker. These people will leave you reviews (and hopefully good ones, granted your services are great). The more 5-star reviews you have, the more you’ll stand out.

9. Evidation
Evidation is an app that rewards people for doing things like walking, sleeping, biking, and more. To get started, download the app and connect your Apple Health, Fitbit, Garmin, or Oura app. This will sync your daily steps, which will give you points you can redeem in the app.
You can also earn points in the app by participating in surveys that ask questions about your health. For every 10,000 points you earn, Evidation will pay you $10 which you can redeem via PayPal cash and other cash prizes.
10. MapMyFitness
MapMyFitness is an app that tracks workouts including running, cycling, and other physical activities. While you won’t get paid with MapMyFitness, you can enter challenges and win monthly prizes.
Some employers or organizations will use MapMyFitness to stay active by participating in fitness challenges. These challenges backed by employers may even have rewards.
11. Walgreens Balance Rewards
Walgreens Balance Rewards is a program that gives you redemption dollars at Walgreens for doing things like walking and other fitness activities. With the Rewards program, you can link your fitness trackers which will sync your steps in the app.
You can also earn points for doing things like tracking your blood pressure, sleep, and weight.
12. Guided walking tours
If you have a lot of knowledge of your local town or a historical place, you may want to sell guided walking tours.
To get started, find a historical or touristy spot that would work well with a guided walking tour. Create your walking itinerary and highlight key points of interest and historical facts.
Start small and gradually work your way up to offering larger walking tours. This is a great way to combine your love of fitness with your love of a local spot that tourists love to visit.

13. Ski instructor
If you love skiing and enjoy teaching others how to do this sport, you may want to try becoming a ski instructor. This way you can combine your love for the sport and teach others how to ski as well.
To become a ski instructor, you likely need to obtain a recognized ski instructor certification. This will make you more marketable and even allow you to teach more advanced lessons.
Ski resorts are pretty much always hiring ski instructors, and you don’t need to be an expert or an Olympic skier to become a ski instructor either. This is something that you can learn to do.
14. Rock climbing guide
If you like to rock climb, then you may be able to become a rock climbing guide. Earning money doing this requires a combination of skills, certifications, marketing, and networking with other people who also work as guides.
To get started, it’s important to obtain certifications offered by the American Mountain Guides Association. This will increase your credibility and give you more job opportunities.
You may even want to connect with local and online climbing groups to market your business and get the word out that you’re a rock climbing guide. Put up flyers in your local rock climbing gym and make it easy to get in touch with you about your services.
15. Fishing guide
Making money as a fishing guide requires a certain set of skills, certifications, and licenses. It’s also important you have extensive knowledge of the best local fishing spots, seasons, and regulations.
Working as a fishing guide takes a lot of physical activity since you’re doing a lot of walking, wading in water, and (obviously) fishing.
Many places are in constant need of fishing guides, such as lodges and guide companies in Florida and Alaska.
So, you can easily network with local businesses such as bait shops, fishing gear retailers, and local hotels. The more people that know about your services as a fishing guide, the better.
16. Fitness trainer
One obvious way to get paid to workout is to work as a fitness trainer. Working as a fitness trainer involves a combination of skills, marketing yourself effectively, and providing top-notch service to your clients.
To get started as a fitness trainer, it’s important to obtain a reputable certification from organizations like NASM, ACE, or ACSM. Once certified, you can teach others how to workout in person at local gyms or offer virtual training.
You could even sell workout plans as a personal trainer, such as on a social media platform. I have seen many fitness influencers do this over the years.
17. Landscaper
Landscaping is a physically demanding job, but if you love it, you can turn it into a way to make extra money. As a landscaper, you can offer all kinds of services such as lawn maintenance, garden design, and tree and shrub care.
You’ll want to make sure that you take photos of your work and gather a portfolio so future clients can see the incredible work you can do. Word of mouth plays a big role in the landscaping business, so it’s important to give the best service to your clients.
18. Yoga instructor
If you love yoga and want to make money teaching others how to practice, then become a yoga instructor. To get started, you need to obtain a teacher certification from a reputable organization. Reach out to local yoga studios and figure out where people are getting certified in town.
Once you get certified, you can even specialize in a certain niche such as prenatal yoga, therapeutic yoga, power yoga, Bikram yoga, and more. You can teach group classes, private classes, workshops, and even online classes.
You may even want to try developing an online presence which will attract new people to your yoga classes.
19. Share workouts on Instagram
You can make money as a fitness Instagrammer once you have a strong following. It’s important to share high-quality and visually appealing photos and helpful captions. Share workout routines, fitness tips, and inspirational content to keep your audience engaged.
Once you have a good number of followers, you can make money with sponsored content, affiliate marketing, and even selling your own workout training programs and guides. You can even promote your online coaching services and work with people 1-1.
Another way similar to this is to do something similar on a YouTube channel that you create!

Want to learn how to make $1,000 in 24 hours?
While it’s not as easy as making $100 in a day, you do have some options.
Some may allow you to make $1,000 right away, and others may mean that you have to build up to reach this level.
Perhaps you’re looking for extra money to pay for an unexpected bill that popped up (like a car repair or medical bill!), or maybe you’re just looking to increase your income by having a $1,000-a-day income goal.
Key Takeaways
The fastest way to make $1,000 quickly is to sell stuff from around your home, like electronics, jewelry, or nice furniture.
Freelance jobs like consulting and writing can pay a high income.
Jobs in the gig economy, like driving or delivering, can make you money right away, and you can stack them with others to increase your daily earnings.
$1,000 a day in passive income is possible through starting an e-commerce business, a blog, and selling digital products (like a course or printable).
Best Ways To Make $1,000 In 24 Hours
Here are the best ways to make $1,000 in 24 hours.
1. Sell stuff online and near you
If you want to learn how to make $1,000 by tomorrow, then the fastest option is usually to find items in your home that you already own to sell.
This is because you already have stuff in your home (the average household has over 300,000 items!!) – so you may be able to sell something to make quick cash.
So, these would either have to be a lot of items or more expensive items. For example, you could sell clothing or gift cards, something big like a piece of furniture, electronics (maybe a gaming system or computer?), or a piece of jewelry.
Here are places where you can sell your stuff:
eBay: This site is great for unique or collectible items.
Amazon: Good for books, electronics, and almost everything. Here’s a helpful article to learn more – How To Work From Home Selling On Amazon FBA
Craigslist: The site has a wide range of categories for selling in your local area.
Facebook Marketplace: Connects you with local buyers.
Pawn shops: Quick cash for things like jewelry.
Flea markets: Rent a booth for the day and sell homemade items.
Garage sales: Set up a sale in your yard.
Poshmark: Easy online marketplace to sell clothing online.
To sell your stuff for the most money, make sure you take clear pictures, write honest descriptions (is there a tear or a stain?), price items competitively, and clean your items to make them more appealing.
And, always remember to stay safe by meeting in public spaces and avoid sharing personal information. With some effort and strategic selling, you can reach your $1,000 goal.
2. Start a blog
Starting a blog is not a quick way to make money, but it can be a stepping stone to making $1,000 in a day.
Plus, it’s my favorite way to make money online. In fact, I earn over $1,000 a day with this blog. So, I know that it is possible (don’t assume that means it is easy – it is not easy, trust me!).
Here are some steps to get started with a blog:
Set up your blog:
You’ll want to start by choosing a topic to write about, such as finance, family, travel, food, etc.
Purchase a domain name (this is basically the name of your blog).
Select a hosting service and install WordPress (you can find my tutorial for this here).
Write blog posts:
Write helpful and fun blog posts.
Publish a blog post at least once a week.
Monetize your blog:
Affiliate Marketing: Include affiliate links in your posts.
Sponsored Posts: Partner with brands for sponsored content.
Ad Revenue: Sign up for Google AdSense, Mediavine, Adthrive, or another display advertising company.
Drive traffic:
Promote your content on social media.
Engage in community related to your niche.
Guest post on other blogs to find new readers.

3. Freelance writing
Freelance writing can be a great way to make money quickly.
I have been a freelance writer for years, and I also know of many other freelance writers who are able to earn $1,000 in a day. For a freelancer who writes high-quality articles, a $1,000 day is simply a normal day for them.
Sites like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer have plenty of writing opportunities across many different industries. If you can write quality, original content quickly, it’s possible to reach your goal of $1,000 by taking on multiple writing assignments.
You could also try cold pitching, which is where you find businesses that could benefit from your writing services and send them an email about how you can help them achieve their goals with your writing.
To make $1,000 in a day as a freelance writer, you may want to focus on your existing network as well, if you have one. So, this means that you may want to reach out to former clients or colleagues who might need your writing services.
4. Real estate investing
Although real estate investing requires up-front cost and time, you may be able to build up to earning $1,000 a day.
$1,000 a day is $365,000 a year, which some real estate investors are able to earn through methods such as:
Renting out a home on Airbnb
Flipping properties for income
Investing in REITs
And more.

5. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is my favorite way to earn money, and it helps me to earn $1,000+ a day here on this blog.
With affiliate marketing, you are promoting products or services on your website, email list, or social media account. If you get someone to sign up or purchase through your referral link, you then earn a commission.
Most products that you can think of have an affiliate program too, so there are plenty of things you can share.
Think about sharing books from Amazon on your blog, for example. You share a link to a specific book and tell your readers to buy it through your special link. Companies like Amazon like affiliates who bring in good traffic because it helps them make more sales.

6. Making money on YouTube
Creating a successful YouTube channel can lead to you making an income. While it’s unlikely to make $1,000 within 24 hours from right now, you may be able to get up to that amount by building a following on YouTube by consistently producing high-quality videos.
I know several YouTubers who are able to make $1,000 each day through their YouTube channel.
Here’s a breakdown of some different ways to make money with a YouTube channel:
Ad revenue – Once part of the YouTube Partner Program, you can earn money through ad views on your videos. You’ll need at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past year to join.
Channel memberships – Your fans pay a monthly fee for special perks like exclusive badges, emojis, and access to members-only content.
Super Chats and Super Stickers – During live streams, viewers can purchase Super Chats and Super Stickers to highlight their messages. This is a direct way to earn as you interact with your audience.
Affiliate marketing – Promote products within your videos and include affiliate links in the video description. You’ll earn a commission for every sale made through your links.
Sponsorships – Companies can pay you to create content that features their products, especially if your content aligns with their brand, and you have an engaged audience.
7. Drive with Uber or Lyft
Driving for a rideshare service such as Uber or Lyft can make you money, but it might be difficult to make $1,000 in one day. It can help you to reach a $1,000-in-24-hours goal, though, by stacking it with other side hustle opportunities.
Also, there are things you can do like focusing on high-demand areas and driving during peak hours to increase the amount of money that you can earn.
I know of several people who only drive for these gig apps when they know that they are able to make the most amount of money. This is because you may be able to earn hundreds of dollars extra each day or week by timing when you drive.
Here’s a strategy to boost earnings:
Drive during peak hours – Surge pricing during busy hours means higher rates.
Look for driving bonuses – Look out for streak bonuses and other incentives. Uber or Lyft will list these in the app.
Manage your car expenses – Keep track of your gas, maintenance, and other costs to maximize profits.
Peak Times
Potential Earnings Boost
Rush Hour (AM/PM)
Increased Surge Pricing
Weekend Nights In Nightlife Areas
High Demand, More Rides
Events (concerts, sports games, etc.)
Surge Pricing, Bonuses
To reach your goal, you should know about your city’s traffic and when people need services. Getting $1,000 in a day is tough, but with a good plan, hard work, and a bit of luck, it’s something you may be able to work toward.
Other gigs related to this include driving for Instacart, Doordash, Uber Eats, and other food delivery services to earn cash. They won’t earn you $1,000 in a day, but they can be another way to make money.
8. Sell printables on Etsy
Designing and selling printables on Etsy, such as planner pages or art prints, is a creative way to make passive income. While reaching your goal of $1,000 quickly might be a challenge, growing your Etsy store can lead to long-term earnings.
I know of several successful printables sellers, and it is something that I would like to start one day as well. This is an area that I think will just continue to grow. Printables are very popular these days, and more and more people use them all the time. I personally buy printables all the time, and I find them very easy to use and helpful.
Printables are digital items that you can download and print at home, such as grocery shopping checklists, budget planners, wedding invitations, wall art, and more.
I recommend signing up for the Free Workshop: How To Earn Money Selling Printables. This free training will give you great ideas on what you can sell, how to get started, the costs, and how to make sales.

9. Sell your engagement ring
Selling jewelry, such as an engagement ring, can lead to you making money fast for when you need money right away.
If you really need the money and don’t mind parting with your engagement ring, then this may be an option for you to look into.
The value of your ring will depend on several factors, including the 4 Cs — cut, color, clarity, and carat weight — of the diamond, as well as the metal type and current market conditions.
One company I recommend looking into is Worthy.
Worthy sells wedding rings, loose diamonds, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and luxury watches. They take care of everything, including appraisals and getting payment from the buyer.
You send your jewelry to them using a label they give you, and it’s insured. They put your item up for auction, and professional jewelry buyers can bid on it (you can set a minimum price). After the auction, you get the sale amount minus Worthy’s fee.
It usually takes around 2 weeks for the whole process, from sending the ring to getting paid.
Pawn shops and local jewelers are faster, but they might not give you the best prices. Selling online can make more money, but it takes longer with the auction process.

10. Look for Craigslist gigs that pay
If you’re aiming to make $1,000 in a short span of time, you may be able to find quick jobs on Craigslist. Most of these will be one-time jobs, but there may also be full-time or part-time jobs.
To find Craigslist gigs in your town, just go to Craigslist and look for the “gigs” section.
Here are some jobs I found through a quick search:
Help loading and unloading a moving truck
Help with painting a home
Pet sitting and dog walking
Taking online surveys
Delivery driver
Data entry
Turning photographs into digital copies
Transport and install a microwave
House cleaner

11. Rent out your unused storage space
If you have extra space at home, you can rent it out to people in your area for storage. This could be a garage, driveway, closet, basement, or even an attic.
While reaching $1,000 in a single day would definitely be a stretch, renting out your space could give you a long-term income that you stack with other jobs on this list to make $1,000 a day.
You can use a website called Neighbor to list any extra space you have for rent, and you could make up to $15,000 per year.
You can also learn more about Neighbor at Neighbor Review: Make Money Renting Your Storage Space.
12. Consulting
If you’re really good at something, like business or marketing, selling consulting services can make you a good amount of money. You can charge more because of your expertise, and it’s doable to reach your $1,000 goal by taking on a few well-paying consultations.
I know several consultants who are able to make a very high income, in fact.
Companies hire consultants to get outside knowledge, a fresh viewpoint, and handle specific issues better.
Here’s how to start selling consulting services:
Identify Your Expertise – What are you good at? It could be marketing, finance, management, technology, or any other area where people seek expert advice.
Set Your Rate – Determine an hourly rate that reflects the value of your consultation. As a point of reference, if you charge $250 per hour, you would need to book four hours of consulting to meet your goal.
Network – Reach out to your professional network and let them know about your consulting service. Recommendations can go a long way.
13. Ask for a raise or for more hours
Talking to your boss about a raise might not get you $1,000 in a day, but negotiating a higher salary can be a good long-term strategy to make more money each year.
When approaching your employer about a raise, preparation is key.
Demonstrate your value – Before the meeting, compile a list of your accomplishments, contributions, and any additional responsibilities you’ve taken on.
Research market rates – Know the industry standards for your position and experience level to set a realistic raise request.
Time your ask – Ideally, schedule this conversation after a significant achievement or during a performance review.
Another way to increase your income at the job you already have is by working overtime. If you are paid hourly, you can see if your employer needs you to work any extra.
14. Sell an online course
If you know a lot about something, you can make and sell an online course. Websites like Teachable and Udemy let you create, host, and sell your course. While you might not make $1,000 right away, getting students over time can bring in a good amount of money.
I have an online course that I sell, Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing. I have also taken many online courses, such as on helping my toddler get better sleep, speech therapy for parents, business courses, blogging courses, and so much more.
And, these are all created and run by people like you and me.
There are many other things you can teach in an online course, such as:
Painting
Music lessons
Fitness and exercise
Time management tips
Parenting
Languages
Computer programming
Personal finance
Traveling
Photography and photo editing
Plants and gardening
Baking and cooking
Arts and crafts
Dropshipping
And so much more!
How Can I Get A $1000 Loan Within 24 Hours?
So, after reading the above, maybe you realize that you need $1,000 quickly and the above won’t work out for you fast enough. If that’s the case, then a loan may be another option to look into.
If you need a $1000 loan in 24 hours, first look at your options. Check if you can use your own things for quick cash. If not, check out personal loans and other ways to borrow money, but be aware that quick loans like these typically have very high interest rates that can be hard to pay off.
1. Assess your credit score: Your credit score plays an important role in your interest rate and terms of a personal loan. Generally, a higher score increases your chances of getting approved for loans with lower interest rates.
2. Explore online lenders: Some online lenders offer loans within a day, so you can get a $1000 loan in 24 hours. Fill out an easy application and compare the terms and payment choices from different lenders to pick the best one for what you need.
3. Look for short-term loans: If time is really important, you may be thinking about short-term loans like payday loans or title loans. They usually get approved faster, but keep in mind, these loans almost always have high interest rates and shorter times to pay back, so please be as careful as you can. You don’t want to go into some crazy debt that you will never be able to pay off.

More Ways To Get Paid To Play Games
There are more ways to get paid to play, other than the game apps listed above. If you like to play games and want to make money, some other ideas to look into include:
Become a Twitch streamer
Twitch is a site where you can make money playing video games, talking, and more.
If you like playing video games, live streaming yourself playing can be a way to make money doing what you love. As you gain followers and subscribers on Twitch, you can earn income through ads shown on your stream, donations from viewers, and monthly subscription fees.
Most Twitch streamers don’t earn a full-time income, but there are some who make well over $100,000 annually. In fact, a few even bring in millions of dollars each year.
To see success on Twitch, I recommend finding ways to keep your audience interested, playing the games that you actually enjoy, and sticking to a regular streaming schedule (because your followers will want to see you consistently!).
You can learn more at How Much Do Twitch Streamers Make?
Play in game tournaments
Playing in gaming tournaments can be a way to make money if you’re really good at a certain game.
Many popular competitive games like Fortnite, League of Legends, and Call of Duty host large-scale tournaments with large prize money.
You’ll need to practice a lot, though, as there are many good players in all games – and you want to be the best in order to actually make some money.
Start a gaming blog
If you love games, then you may be interested in starting a gaming blog.
Starting a gaming blog gives you a platform to share what you know about games, your thoughts on games, and your experiences with other gamers. You can make money from your blog through ways such as affiliate marketing, sponsored content, display ads, or even by selling merchandise.
You can learn more about how to start a blog here.
Become a game creator
If you love gaming and have an interest in design or programming, think about making your own games. Independent game creators can build games for different platforms like PCs, consoles, or even phones.
While a college degree isn’t always required, it can be very helpful. You may want to get a degree in fields like game design, computer science, or graphic design, and also look for courses specific to game design.
First, try finding internships, co-op programs, or beginner-level jobs at companies that make video games. This will give you important experience in the field and let you learn from people who have been doing this for a while.
Sell game merchandise
If there’s a popular game out there, then you may be able to sell merchandise to earn some extra cash.
Some examples of merchandise include T-shirts, posters, or accessories based on popular games.
Of course, you will want to make sure that you can legally do this, as you don’t want to get in trouble for pretending to be a certain game app or anything like that.
My Tips For Playing Game Apps That Pay Real Money
Below are my tips for getting paid to play game apps from your phone.
Be smart about how much time you are spending.
When playing game apps, it can be really, really easy to let time get away from you and play too much (especially if you are a winner!). After all, you are probably having fun and it’s something that you can easily do from your phone.
But, you don’t want to forget about everything else in your life.
You don’t want your game app playing to turn into an obsession (such as with arcade games or trivia games) or into a gambling addiction (as many of the above are similar to casino games).
So, I recommend being careful with any games that require you to pay money (such as to join tournaments) and know your limit. You may want to set a timer for playing and a budget.
You may have to pay taxes.
If you’re winning money from these game apps, then you will need to pay taxes. This means that you will want to save money from any of your winnings for taxes so that you are not surprised at the end of the year with a huge tax bill.
Read real reviews and experience with game apps that pay money.
When you’re trying out different game apps where you win real money, it’s important to read real reviews and experiences. This helps you make a smart choice as reading honest thoughts from other players can give you a clear picture of the app’s pros and cons, how they pay out, how easy they are to play, and if people actually enjoy them.
Some things in game app reviews to look out for include:
If the customer service support is helpful (do they actually answer emails if you have an issue?)
If payments are actually being made and if they are on time (if many people are leaving reviews saying that they are not getting their payments, then you may want to do more research before you start playing games on that specific app)
If the game is fun (of course, this is just an opinion and everyone is different, though)
Keep in mind, while winning real money in gaming apps can be exciting, it’s important to remember that it’s not a full-time job with a full-time income. Always focus on having fun first.

Passive income is a great way to generate more income, pay down your debt, and start saving and investing for your future. Here you’ll learn what passive income is, as well as different ways to make passive income online and offline. With 25 passive income ideas, there is something for everyone.

What Is Passive Income?
Passive income is a type of income that comes from sources other than your regular employment, and involves a more hands-off approach. Passive income isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme, though some companies make big claims about generating passive income without any work. Passive income does take work to set up, but the goal is that you can make money without managing it on a day-to-day basis.
You’ll generally do most of the work by setting up your source of passive income. While it may require some upkeep every now and then, like updating a product or maintaining a rental property, you’ll earn the majority of your income while pursuing other endeavors.
Like other sources of additional income, passive income is taxable, but when done correctly, you can make enough passive income to surpass your tax bill.
1. Write an E-Book
Whether you’re a writer or not, an e-book can be a fantastic way to generate passive income. We no longer live in a world where publishers are the gatekeepers of books, so you can self-publish a book that can generate passive income. Various websites let you self-publish books, like Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing, Apple Books, and Barnes & Noble. Some of these sites also offer print-on-demand services for customers who want physical copies.
You can write a nonfiction book if you’re knowledgeable about a certain subject, or you can write fiction if you have an interesting story idea. Although this can generate passive income, self-publishing can require a bit of an investment. You’ll need to pay for an editor and book cover designer, and you may also want to pay for advertisements. But if you can do the cover art and marketing on your own, you may be able to save some money.
2. Start a YouTube Channel
There are many ways to make money using social media, but YouTube is one of the best ways to make passive income. YouTube pays content creators to run ads on their videos. In order to qualify for the YouTube Partner Program, you’ll need at least 500 subscribers, three new videos within the last 90 days, and 3,000 watch hours within the last year. Previously, you needed 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, but the policy was updated in June 2023 with lower requirements.
Like other sources of passive income, making money from YouTube will require an up-front investment of time and money. You need a stable internet connection, camera, microphone, computer, and editing software. You also need to make consistent videos to qualify for the partner program. You can eventually generate passive income by making evergreen videos, because people will watch old videos that bring in revenue—and the more videos you have on your channel, the more money you can make.
3. Try Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is when you share a link to a product or service, and the company gives you a percentage of any sales made through that link. You can share these links on your social media pages, blog, newsletter, or anywhere else that allows you to post a link. Affiliate marketing is one of the best online passive income opportunities, and you can combine it with any other online method we mention in this article.
One of the most popular affiliate link programs is Amazon Associates. Let’s say you have a YouTube channel where you review electronics, and you make a video reviewing a new TV or laptop. If you link to that product on Amazon with your affiliate link, you’ll receive a percentage of the sale each time someone uses your link.
This isn’t only limited to Amazon, either. Many companies offer affiliate links, so it can be advantageous to reach out to companies for products and services you use regularly to see if they have an affiliate program.
4. Create a Blog
There are a variety of ways to make money from writing a blog. Like YouTube, old blog posts can generate passive income even if people read the post months or years after you wrote it. If you create your own website to host your blog, you can integrate Google Ads and use affiliate links to make money online.
Platforms like Substack combine blogs and newsletters, so every time you write a new post, subscribers receive an email. You can have paid subscriptions on Substack, so users pay a monthly fee to read your posts, and you can have free posts that go out to non-paying subscribers as well.
5. Sell Stock Photos and Videos
If you’re a photographer or videographer, you can earn money for your photos and videos. There are many different websites that buy stock photos and videos, like Shutterstock, iStock, and Getty Images. One thing to consider is that the website gets exclusive rights to your images or videos, but on some sites you can make between 15% and 45% in royalties.
6. Create an Online Course
Many people have expertise in a certain area, and utilizing your knowledge and skills to create an online course is a great way to make passive income online. For example, you can create a course for how to knit, how to take amazing photos, or how to program an app. Websites like Kajabi and Teachable allow you to host and sell your courses.
You may need to invest some time and possibly money in marketing your course to ensure you find the right audience. Some course-hosting platforms like Skillshare also categorize courses by topic for better discoverability.
If you start gaining a following on social media platforms or through a blog, you may get the opportunity to do sponsored content. Companies want to ensure they target the right audience, so if you have followers who may buy their product or service, they’re more likely to sponsor a piece of content. This typically means you discuss their product in a video or write about it in a caption.
In order to generate passive income from a sponsored opportunity, the company will give you an affiliate link. This allows you to make money up front for the sponsored content as well as passive income from anyone who uses your link to buy the product or service.
This route for passive income may take some time because companies typically want people to have a decent following before sponsoring content.
8. Invest in Dividend Stocks
Stocks can be a great way to make money while also investing in your future. When you buy a stock, you buy a small portion of a company. If the stock price rises and you sell it at a higher price, you make a profit, but the stock can also drop in price and lose you money. Some, but not all, stocks offer dividends, which pay investors a dividend per share if the company has a profitable quarter.
When the stock pays out dividends, you can receive the payment directly from your brokerage or reinvest the dividends by buying more of the stock. Like other investments, this can compound and turn into a lot of money over time if the company continues to profit. As you invest in dividend stocks, keep in mind the companies can raise or lower the dividend percentage at any time.
Use MarketBeat’s dividend calculator to look up specific stocks and estimate dividend returns.
9. Invest in REITs
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are another investment opportunity. Rather than investing directly in a property, you can invest in a REIT, which is a company that owns and manages real estate.
Similar to other investments, there is risk that comes along with investing in REITs. For example, there’s a possibility your REIT investments will lose money if there’s a drop in the housing market.
10. Invest in Index Funds and ETFs
Index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are some of the safest investments because they offer diversification. Rather than investing in one company, index funds and ETFs allow you to invest in multiple companies simultaneously.
Legendary investor and founder of Vanguard John Bogle was a major advocate for index fund investing. More specifically, he advised people to invest in the S&P 500, an index of the 500 largest companies in the United States. ETFs are slightly different because there are higher fees, but they allow you to invest in a group of stocks for a specific industry. For example, ARKK is an ETF that holds shares for companies that work on innovative technology.
There is still a risk when investing in index funds and ETFs, but they are often lower risk than other forms of stock investing.
11. Try Peer-to-Peer Lending
Another way to make passive income is to become your own type of “bank” by doing peer-to-peer lending, sometimes called P2P lending. Banks make money on loans by charging interest to customers, and P2P lending allows you to do the same thing. Websites like Prosper and Funding Circle allow everyday people to lend and borrow money with various interest rates.
12. Stake Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency investing is a highly volatile form of investing, making it especially high risk. Some cryptocurrency platforms allow you to “stake” your crypto, which is when you allow the platform to hold your crypto and lend it to other people. Similar to P2P lending, you make money off the interest.
Cryptocurrency lending and trading is also high risk because there is little to no regulation. Crypto platforms like Voyager have been known to offer extremely high returns and then go bankrupt, preventing them from paying back their users. In extreme cases, there are stories of fraudulent activity from crypto platforms. But if you have a high risk tolerance, this form of investing can be incredibly lucrative.
13. Utilize High-Yield Savings Accounts
A safer way to make passive income is to open up a high-yield savings account, which allows you to make money simply by holding it in your account. Banks use customer funds to lend out money, but unlike crypto staking, bank funds are backed by the U.S. government via the FDIC. This means that if, for some reason the bank doesn’t have the money when you want your funds, the government would provide the bank with the money to pay you up to $250,000.
Many banks and financial institutions offer high-yield savings accounts, with some offering an annual percentage yield (APY) of over 4%. So if you opened an account with a 4.5% APY and deposited $1,000, you would have $1,045 after a year.
People maximize their passive income by not touching this money because it compounds each year. So using that same example, in the second year, you would then earn 4.5% of the $1,045 rather than the original $1,000. And if you add to the savings account each month, you can make quite a bit of money over time.
14. Buy Government Bonds
Perhaps the safest way to earn passive income from investing is to buy government bonds. A government bond is basically a loan to the federal government that pays you back the original amount with interest over a certain period. The reason government bonds are so safe is because the government backs them. When buying a stock, it’s possible to lose your money if the company goes out of business. Bonds are safer because as long as the government exists, you’ll make your money back.
Although government bonds are very low risk, they also offer low returns. Depending on various factors, government bonds may offer a 3–5% return over two to 30 years. To put that into perspective, S&P 500 index fund investing offers an average return rate of over 7.5%[1] .
15. Invest in Art
Similar to stocks, you can also invest in artwork. One way to do this is to buy works of art that you believe will increase in value later. If you’re knowledgeable about art and can find pieces selling for below their value that you can sell later for a profit, you can make a bit of money. Websites like Masterworks allow you to buy shares of artwork with other investors so you take on less risk.
16. Buy Property to Rent
Many people generate passive income by purchasing properties to rent. If you can afford the initial investment of buying a single-family home or condo, you can then rent them out to tenants for a profit. For example, if you buy a house and your mortgage is only $1,000, you can make a profit by charging any amount over your mortgage cost.
In order to take advantage of the passive income aspect of renting, you may benefit from hiring an individual or company to manage the property. Property managers collect the monthly rent and take care of maintenance issues for a fee. Should you decide to invest in rental properties, it’s helpful to factor in the cost of potential home repairs before, during, and after tenants live there.
17. Rent Out a Room in Your Home
If you don’t have the money for a down payment or don’t want to take on the risk of purchasing a rental home, you can always make some extra income by renting out a room. If you have a spare room in your home, you can rent it out for a monthly fee. This is a great option for families whose children recently moved out.
You can use websites like Airbnb and VRBO to connect you with renters. Although many people use Airbnb for short-term rentals during vacations, you can also offer long-term rentals through the website. These sites also let you vet renters before they move in, so you have control over who rents the room.
18. Buy Domain Names
Buying domain names is a sort of investing, so it does come with some risk. People and businesses buy domain names to host their websites, so you can purchase a variety of inexpensive domain names in hopes of people buying them from you later for more. You can typically buy domain names for less than $10 through websites like GoDaddy, but if they don’t sell, you’ll need to pay the annual cost to keep the name.
While this may be a risky investment, people have made a lot of money flipping domain names. It was a big money-maker during the “dot com boom” in the 1990s, Help.com sold for $3 million and NFTs.com sold for $15 million in 2023. Many domains don’t sell for millions, but you may still be able to make a decent profit off domain names in high demand.
19. License Your Music
If you’re a musician, you can license your music in a similar way to selling stock photos and videos. Some websites like Music Vine pay musicians 30% for nonexclusive deals or more for an exclusive license. There are also websites like Epidemic Sound that market to YouTubers and filmmakers by offering a subscription service for royalty-free music.
20. Design Custom Products
For those who are artistically inclined, you can make money creating designs and selling them on websites that sell custom products. Websites like Redbubble, Teespring, and Society6 offer print-on-demand services for your artwork. These websites sell a wide range of products like T-shirts, coffee mugs, phone cases, and more. You get a percentage of the sale every time a customer goes to the website and chooses your design for any of these products
If you have old artwork you created in the past or simply feel like creating in your spare time, you can generate passive income as long as your art is hosted on these types of websites.
21. Rent Out Your Vehicle
Services like Uber and Lyft are popular side hustles, but you can make passive income by renting out your vehicle instead. When people are traveling or have their car in the repair shop, they often need a vehicle to get around. Rather than going to a rental car company, they can rent a vehicle through other websites like Turo or Getaround.
22. Use Your Vehicle as Ad Space
In addition to renting out your vehicle, you can make passive income by using your vehicle as ad space.
Websites like Wrapify connect businesses and drivers, and depending on how much of your car you’re willing to cover with ads, Wrapify will pay you between $181 and $452 per month. There are also sites like FreeCarMedia.com that pay you for wrapping your vehicle or simply advertising on your rear window.
23. Create an App
If you’re a programmer who can create an app, this may be the best way for you to make passive income. Whether it’s a fun game or an app that provides value and convenience, use your creativity and skills to generate income. Apple and Google allow developers to submit their apps, giving you a percentage of the sale each time someone buys the app.
24. Flip Unique Items
One of the oldest ways to generate passive income is to buy unique items, hold them, and sell them at a later date for a profit. If you’re knowledgeable about a certain type of item or are willing to learn, you can make a decent amount of money by buying and holding items.
This is ideal for people who like shopping at thrift stores or going to garage sales. You may find antique toys, memorabilia, sports trading cards, comic books, or other items for a low price that are either worth a lot of money now or will be in the future.
To sell the items or see how much items are selling for, you can use websites like eBay, OfferUp, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace.
25. Rent Out Your Parking Space
Some people are willing to pay for a good parking spot. If you have a space you’re not using or don’t mind giving up, you can make money renting it out—especially if you live in an urban area. Websites like SpotHero allow you to list your space.
What’s the Best Source of Passive Income?
The best source of passive income is unique to each individual. There are many options on this list, and some allow you to capitalize on different skill sets. For example, if you have expertise in certain subjects, the best sources of passive income may be online courses and e-books. If you have knowledge about stocks or are willing to learn, investing may be the best option.
When deciding which passive income sources are right for you, it may be beneficial to weigh out the pros, cons, and risks of each one. Remember that many of these options require an initial investment of money and time to get started. Consider your own risk tolerance and financial situation before going all in on any of these methods.
Do You Need Money to Make Passive Income?
While you’ll need money to get started with many passive income ideas, this isn’t the case for every method. For example, if you own a vehicle or have an extra room in your home, you can start renting them out. If you have a computer and internet connection, you have even more options.
Many people who make passive income succeed because they are willing to learn and can invest time into researching these topics. There’s a wealth of information online where you can learn how to excel at specific passive income opportunities like writing an e-book, succeeding as a YouTuber, or using affiliate links.
The Benefits of Multiple Streams of Income
Depending on your specific situation, you may want more than one source of passive income. Whether you’re already in a healthy financial situation or are trying to build your personal wealth and credit score, more income streams means more financial freedom.
The primary benefit of passive income is that you can make money with minimal effort. This means once you get one source of passive income rolling, you can begin adding others so you have multiple income streams that don’t require too much time or attention.
How Passive Income Can Help Improve Your Credit Score
A poor credit score can lead to many challenges—like making it difficult to get approved for new lines of credit, loans, and rental applications—and cost you a lot of money in interest in the long run. Passive income can help you fix your credit by allowing you to pay off your debts. Lenders also look at your total income, so making additional income can help with approvals for new lines of credit, which can also help improve your score. It’s important to know the current state of your credit health. You can get a free credit report card on Credit.com which breaks down your credit score factors and assigns a letter grade for each area, or sign up for our ExtraCredit® subscription for additional credit tools.
When you’re in college, you likely want to choose a major that will lead to a successful and enjoyable career. If you’re a business marketing major, you may wonder whether the education you’re getting now will pay off in terms of the type of job you’ll qualify for after you graduate, and what you can earn.
Here’s a look at what you can expect as a marketing major — both during college and after you graduate.
What Does a Marketing Major Learn?
As a marketing major, you will learn various aspects and strategies for promoting a company or product, creating brand awareness, and building relationships with customers.
You may study marketing tools like social media, content marketing, and advertising, as well as public relations, sales, marketing strategy, and consumer behavior.
Once you complete your degree, you should have a thorough understanding of how to employ these tools and tactics in the real world on behalf of your employer. 💡 Quick Tip: You can fund your education with a low-rate, no-fee private student loan that covers all school-certified costs.
Who Is It Good For?
If you’re still trying to determine the best college major and are considering marketing, here’s some insight into the type of person who might thrive in a marketing career.
If you’re curious about how brands connect with customers and find yourself analyzing ads in magazines and on television, you might be a natural marketer. Marketers are typically creative and good communicators; you’ll need that ingenuity to come up with innovative marketing campaigns to compete with others in a given industry.
Depending on the job you get after college, you may work with a team on campaigns, or you may be solely in charge of doing multiple different tasks on your own. Ideally, you’ll be excited and confident about sharing your ideas for projects.
If you’ve got an analytical mind, so much the better. You’ll be able to analyze data to better understand what types of marketing efforts are working to reach your audience and which aren’t.

Why Consider Marketing?
Marketing isn’t a trendy or even industry-specific career; it’s one that every brand on earth needs. As a result, there will likely always be careers in marketing. Because marketing is what propels a company to sell products or services, it has a return on investment, and that means that companies are willing to also invest in smart marketing professionals.
Everywhere you look, there’s marketing, from the product placement in your favorite television show to the daily Instagram posts from influencers that offer “sponsored content.” Being a part of this exciting field gives you the opportunity to shape how consumers connect with brands.

What Jobs Can a Marketing Major Get?
So you’ve majored in marketing and now you want to know your career options. What does a marketing major do after graduating? And what professional goals can you set down the road, once you’ve had more experience?
Entry-Level Marketing Jobs
Depending on your specific interest in marketing, there are several paths you could take after graduation.
If you enjoy working with advertising, you could get work as a media buyer, who is in charge of purchasing ads, both digital and print, to achieve marketing goals. Average annual salaries can be as high as $80,195.
If you enjoy dabbling in different aspects of marketing, you could be a marketing coordinator. You might be a part of planning and launching marketing campaigns and events, managing email marketing, and writing content for different platforms. The national average annual salary is $51,283.
If you lit up in your public relations coursework, a public relations assistant might be a good first job. You’ll be tasked with creating press releases and pitch letters, and connecting with the media to get interviews and media coverage for your brand. Salaries vary, but the average is around $42,642 a year.
Recommended: Return on Education for Bachelor’s Degrees
Marketing Jobs for More Experienced Professionals
Once you have a bit of experience in your entry-level marketing job, you may be eligible for a promotion or could qualify for a more advanced role with a different company like the following ones.
A public relations manager has approximately six to eight years of experience working in PR. In addition to building relationships with journalists and influencers and securing media coverage for a brand, this role may also hire and manage other PR roles as well as writers and designers. The average salary for this role is around $62,810.
A marketing director could be a good goal after you build experience as a marketing coordinator and have five to 10 years of marketing experience. This role is involved in the planning of marketing activities, building a budget, and forecasting sales. You may oversee a marketing team, including internal staff and freelancers. The average salary for this position is approximately $141,490, but can vary widely.
Another option once you have one to five years of experience, specifically in sales, is as a sales manager. This role analyzes sales data to shape sales and pricing strategy and may train or manage sales staff. The average salary for a sales manager is $107,500.
Launching Your Own Marketing Business
You’re not limited to working for someone else in your marketing career; many professionals get experience under their belt by working for companies of all sizes, then decide to open their own business. That could be a one-person content marketing business run out of your home or a PR firm with office space and staff.
Starting your own business gives you the flexibility of working when you want, and to choose exactly the marketing, advertising, or PR services you want to specialize in. It does, however, require plenty of hard work and dedication: without the stability of a regular paycheck, you aren’t guaranteed to make a certain amount of money.

What Can a Marketing Major Earn?
Understandably, you want some reassurance that what you’ll make in your career after graduating will help you quickly pay off any student debt and help you become financially successful.
Generally, students can expect to make the least right after graduating, since they’ll have little to no work experience. Salary expectations for entry-level marketing positions can vary based on factors like where you live and the industry you want to work in. Some companies may offer hiring bonuses or commission on top of that salary.
As you build experience, your salary will generally increase. Again, this will depend on your specific experience and accomplishments as well as the industry and company you work for. 💡 Quick Tip: Even if you don’t think you qualify for financial aid, you should fill out the FAFSA form. Many schools require it for merit-based scholarships, too. You can submit it as early as Oct. 1.
The Takeaway
Only you know whether marketing is a field that you will thrive in and enjoy being a part of, but suffice it to say that there is an opportunity to learn a wide range of marketing skills and career advancement potential if you’re willing to put in the work to climb that corporate ladder.
Of course, as a student, you’re still a long way from earning a sizable salary, and coming up with enough funds to cover the high cost of college can be challenging. Fortunately, no matter what you’re thinking about majoring in, you have a range of funding options, including grants, scholarships, federal work-study programs, and both federal and private student loans.
