Turning a Simple Idea into $1000 a Day: My Roadmap to Success
January 8, 2025
In March 2024, I embarked on a mission: to earn $1,000 a day through trading and affiliate marketing within 365 days. By December 31st, I had generated $180,000. Here is a detailed recap of how I achieved this, step by step.
The Financial Starting Point and Time Management Strategy
The idea was simple: make $1,000 daily in the trading and affiliate marketing space. However, like most people, I faced time constraints. With a full-time role and other daily commitments, I realised that time was my most valuable currency. I calculated and allocated 23 hours per week, which is the equivalent of a part-time job’s worth of effort dedicated to this project.
Financial Starting Point: Time calculation matrix
I used the financial starting point sheet to calculate this time. This extra time became my currency; it was all I had in exchange for earning more. Time did and does equal money. Based on this investment, I expected a minimum return of $12,000 per year, given that my full-time role earned me $24,000 annually. What I achieved far exceeded that.

How I Started Earning $1,000 Daily in Trading and Affiliate Marketing
To achieve this ambitious goal, I diversified my approach across three core streams:
-
Crypto Staking: Leveraging platforms to stake Solana and earn passive income.
-
Trading: Using TradesAI for GOLD trading signals on higher timeframes.
-
FunderPro 25K and 100K accounts.
Month-by-Month Breakdown of My Journey to $1,000 a Day
Month 1: March 2024: Laying the Groundwork
The first month was all about laying the groundwork. I began by showcasing FunderPro on my Instagram account. My audience was small, with just a few hundred views per post. Despite this, I earned $411 in commission from FunderPro signups in April. It wasn’t much, but it validated the model and gave me the confidence to scale.
Month 2: April 2024: Doubling Down on Efforts
In April, I doubled down on my efforts:
-
Increased posting frequency on Instagram.
-
Created content explaining FunderPro’s features, like its consistency rule, and how it benefits traders.
The result? My commission grew to $1,356. Encouraged by this success, I expanded my affiliate marketing efforts by building a simple one-page website promoting FundedX, another prop firm leveraging my technology. With my SEO expertise, the website quickly gained traction, netting me $4,188 in April. This brought my total earnings for the month to over $5,500.
Months 3-6: Scaling Up to $1,000 Daily
Over the next few months, I scaled my activities:
-
Affiliate Marketing: Continued promoting FunderPro and FundedX. By the end of June, my FundedX site alone had earned over $35,000.
-
Crypto Staking: I began staking Solana with saved funds, generating consistent passive income.
-
Trading Challenges: Entered two FunderPro challenges, using TradesAI for signals. This added a new revenue stream from trading profits.
By the six-month mark, my daily earnings were steadily climbing, with some days surpassing the $1,000 target.
Key Lessons I Learned to Reach $1,000 a Day
-
Leverage What You Know: My familiarity with prop firms and trading gave me an edge, but I also embraced learning. Back in 2021, I knew nothing about prop trading. Through curiosity and perseverance, I co-founded FunderPro. That same learning mindset fueled my success in this project.
-
Consistency is Key: Small, consistent actions compound over time. Posting regularly on social media, engaging with my audience, and following up with prospects were crucial.
-
Diversify Income Streams: Relying on one method is risky. By combining affiliate marketing, staking, and trading, I ensured multiple income sources.
-
Invest Time Wisely: With only 23 hours per week, I focused on high-impact activities. This approach maximised my ROI on time.
Final Results
December’s daily income was over $1400. All form the 4 sources of income based around trading
By December 31st, I had earned $180,000—an average of $657 per day. However, towards the end of the year, I consistently hit and exceeded $1,000 per day on many occasions. December alone saw multiple days where my income surged past $1,400 thanks to compounded efforts in affiliate marketing and consistent trading profits. These results highlight the clear trajectory of growth. The systems I’ve built continue to generate income, and I’m confident in maintaining and even exceeding $1,000 per day in the months to come.
