Let me ask you something:
Would you spend $49 if it could make you $1,000 in the next 6–12 months?
Most people say yes — but almost nobody actually does it.
Instead, they keep scrolling. Or watching. Or waiting.
Meanwhile, the people who do spend the $49?
They…
- Learn a new skill.
- Build a side hustle.
- Get a freelance client.
- Launch a micro-business.
- Increase their salary.
- Escape a job they hate.
All because they made the $1,000 decision.
Investing in the Best Courses to Make Money
Back when I started Run The Money, I didn’t have a business degree in content marketing.
I bought a course on blogging. Then another on social media. Then LinkedIn. Slowly, I stacked real skills.
One of those $50+ decisions helped me land a freelance gig that paid me $1,500 in a month. Another helped me understand the power of my network. Another helped me rank on Google.
That’s how it works — small, smart bets that compound over time.
Introducing the RTM Course Stack
I’ve put together the RTM Course Stack with the exact programs I’d recommend to anyone who wants to:
- Break into freelance or online income.
- Level up their job skills for better pay.
- Build a personal brand or media business.
- Stop scrolling and start stacking skills that pay you.
I organized some of the best courses to make money around the 5 Pillars of Financial Freedom — so whether you want to invest in yourself, beat inflation, or make family-first money, there’s a smart place to start.

These aren’t fluff. No theory. Just high-impact skills with immediate ROI.
Make the $1,000 decision this weekend.
You don’t need more credentials.
You need leverage. And that starts with a new skill.
So… which $50 decision investment will you make today?
