Even though everyone claims that the era of blogging is dead, blogging is still one of the tried and tested ways to make a side income.
With an increased amount of access to the internet, the demand for content is ever-increasing. Of course, with a glut of free content coming out on the internet every minute, it is important to note that most people will not receive their desired income in the starting periods of their blogging life.
However, by choosing a niche (a specific area of interest) and coming out with a constant stream of interesting content, you might find yourself attracting a large following.
With your improved readership, you will be able to earn money through advertisements (like Google Adsense) and sponsored posts. When you’ve successfully built a wealth of content, you will be able to receive a consistent stream of organic traffic and with it, some form of passive income. .
Furthermore, with the popularity of sites such as Medium, you will be able to share your articles to an already established audience to further boost your readership and engagement. As Medium pays based on the amount of time readers spent reading your story, you can be sure to earn money from this side hustle too as long as you put in consistent effort to write great stories.
