How Much Money Do You Need to Make $1,000/Month Selling Puts?

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]This month we made $5,854 in the month of May selling options using my favorite strategy. But the main question is not how much money we made, but the real question is how much money do you need in your account to make a thousand dollars a month? Because that's the number that people really begin to understand that this is real, right?

[00:00:27]This is real. So I'm going to break down exactly what you need to make a thousand dollars a month plus different mathematical scenarios and I'm going to walk through some real trades that we did so you can see how this actually works for you and then at the end I'm going to give you access to a tool that allows you to plan your own income strategies so that you can know what it would cost or how long it would take for you to generate a thousand dollars a month, right? And we're all about replacing our income with options here and a thousand dollars a month is a starting point. It might not be the ending point. For me, I'm looking at creating a lot of income long-term because I want to take care of my family. I want to plan for the future and so I want to have a long-term plan.

[00:01:21]So with that being said, let's go ahead and take a look at the math here. You can see that we have a $1,000 monthly target and there's different yields that you can calculate to get these numbers.

[00:01:32]So if you're going to do 1%, which is really the safe conservative number, we're looking at a hundred thousand dollar account. $100,000 to get a thousand dollars a month. Now, if you think that you can bump that to 2% and I'm going to show you some examples so you're going to see that this can actually be done. But if you're looking at 2%, well then that dramatically changes the situation to $50,000 and I'll show you an example of how a $50,000 account has been used because that's what we're using at the Freedom Income Options.

[00:02:08]Uh next we want to look at a 3% yield drops you down all the way to a $33,000 account. So you can see here that yeah, this can actually be done and you don't need a ton of money. Now here's the other thing that I think is really important for you to understand and that is you can start this with even less, right? As a matter of fact, in a future video, if you guys want to see it, let me know in the comments, I can show you where I did this with a a $100 account and it wasn't a straight cash secured put situation, but it was an uh an adjusted method so that I could accelerate my growth. But you know, it is possible. You don't need to be super wealthy here. You don't need to have a lot of money, but what you do need is you need to get started, which is what I'm always telling people. Just get started. If you can even start with $10 a month, it's something. Don't look at it and say, "Oh my goodness, I'm only making $10 a month."

[00:03:13]We have to reframe how we think things.

[00:03:16]Instead of saying, "Oh, I'm only making $10 a month." say, "Wow, I'm making $10 a month."

[00:03:23]Right? Do you see what I did there?

[00:03:25]It's a matter of how you look at it because yeah, it's a start. Celebrate the start. Don't despise small beginnings because if we look at the great Mississippi River, it starts small and then it grows into a mighty river.

[00:03:41]We all have to start small unless you're very fortunate, then you can start big.

[00:03:48]>> [laughter] >> But Uh, you know what? I got to go back.

[00:03:51]So, tier one is 5K to 10K, which is 50 to 150. And that's really on the safe strategies. Now, let's take a look at this. Um, you can do some stocks like Wolf. One is EOSE, ONDS, PL. These are all real trades that I took. And by the way, I did lose money on EOSE. It was a bummer of a trade, but I like to include that so that you don't think that for one, that I'm not transparent, and that I think that it's just always rainbows, butterflies, and sunshine, cuz it's not.

[00:04:29]We have real losers. So, EOSE was a loser. Uh, but the key thing on this is it takes about an hour a week, right?

[00:04:37]That's the key focus is just getting money on autopilot, not autopilot, but with just about an hour a week of your time. That's really the key. So, the second tier of trades that we're looking at is the 25 to 50K. And at that point, you're going to be looking anywhere from 250 to 1,000. And now, again, you can have really hot months, too, depending on the market, depending on the timing, depending on your setups, where you could do a 25K and get a 1,000. That's a really good ROI.

[00:05:11]And that's the the fun thing about this is as you're consistent and you're doing it, you'll find that those big hitters, those good trades really do hit home.

[00:05:21]And boy, is it fun? Boy, is it fun? Uh, as you notice that in May, we hit our best month ever, and we're only 20 days into the month. So, that's a lot of fun, right? And it's not always fun, cuz sometimes you wait, sometimes you get assigned and you got to drag on out, but it's a really good thing. So, I'm trying to get you guys to reframe, think positively, and manage that risk, right?

[00:05:48]Again, let me know in the comments, guys. I'm getting some great feedback over a long period of time, but what's some of your concerns? What don't you believe? What does replacing your income look like for you? How excited are you about doing it? Like this is a different kind of channel where I'm actually empowering people and I'm answering every question. So you want to make sure that you chime into the conversation and make this channel even better by your feedback.

[00:06:14]But we look at the third tier here. This is a 50 to 100k account. Now you're looking at some serious income, 1,500 to 2,500. Now this is really where we're at, right? This is my tier. This is where we started and where we're at right now. And actually we're getting beyond this as a membership to the next tier. And so we're starting to see the next things. But again, this is the type of positions that you're looking for.

[00:06:43]You're looking for stocks in the 20 to 100 dollar range and we want to start cycling six to eight trades. You can do them 45 days out. And what what I do is I'm just doing something what I call a simple cash secured put. Very simple strategy. And then here's tier number four. And in a minute I'm going to show you the actual trades that we used, but we got a 100k account on tier four.

[00:07:08]Uh we're looking at ETFs like SPY. That can generate some really good premium.

[00:07:13]QQQ some really good premium. And so now we start to see the compounding factor kick in and that's what we're really looking for. And so here's a real trade that I did. It's Wolf. This was a $29 trade. We made uh $70. Now that's not a lot, but look, it was in such a short period of time. It was actually 730% annualized and that means that if I do this every day, wow, you're making $70 a day on a very $7,000 investment. That's where this thing really starts to happen, and I want you guys to not Again, I'll I'll say it again. Don't despise these small wins.

[00:07:57]Instead, say I can ex- I can keep this thing rolling. And it's that mindset that really starts to generate, and you're going to see something here in a minute for those of you that are bold to stick on, that have the patience and the ability to invest in themselves, how this really pays off.

[00:08:13]So, here it is. The real income, $22,588, $15,746.

[00:08:21]Those are the last 2 years, and I'm about ready to pass last year.

[00:08:27]That's the fun part. When you do this for you like I've been doing this for 16, 17 months now, and that's when it gets fun. It's like, "Oh, man, I got to slog it out." Yes, you got to slog it out, but it gets fun. It gets fun when you pass up last year's number. And when we get to year number three, wow, and we pass year number three's number, and then year number four, and like year number five is where we're really going to get serious. And that's why I say we can replace our income with options.

[00:08:55]Let's get serious. The people that subscribe to this channel, you guys are serious.

[00:09:01]And so, here's the honest part. Higher yields are possible, but you can get higher risk.

[00:09:06]Past performance is not going to equal future results, but let's start small.

[00:09:11]Market conditions always change, and they have a lot of impact.

[00:09:15]Guaranteed returns are a myth. I'm not telling you you're going to do this, but I am telling you get started and manage your risk. You're going to learn a lot, and you can start replacing your income with options.

[00:09:25]Sometimes assignments happen. I can show you that in a past video. You can look for it. And then, also, the right tier matches your capital, you can get started. And so, here's the full picture again. 5K is going to be 50 to 150. You can start now.

[00:09:42]All the way up to 100K, 3,000 to 5,000 dollars a month. And so, here's the cumulative cash flow, and this is like what I said, right now we're just getting close to pushing 40,000 dollars of total cash flow. Isn't that exciting?

[00:09:59]Isn't that exciting? It certainly is to me, and I hope that you want to start on this journey, too. Let's do it together.
