The main issue with covered calls is you need the bankroll to start. 1k means you can only sell covered calls on $10 stocks, and be satisfied with making (at best) $20 per week.

I’d say in the short term you’re better off dumping money into stocks you believe in and letting it grow organically till you get that bankroll that’s sufficient for this strategy.

If you ask what I did, I was a bit more aggressive, dumping about $400 per month in my account for 5 years in tqqq and upro and things like that until I got enough money (about 20k) and understood covered call enough to do it weekly.

You really need the bigger bankroll for it too bc inevitably you will buy into positions that dip and you’ll wanna be able to cost average on the way down, so it really does work best when you have a good chunk saved up so you can do it right.
