Let me guess what’s going through your mind right now, “Really? Blogging? Does it still work?”
Haha!
The answer is, yes!!!

The blog posts you create will always stay online and will keep making you money on the side. As a blogger, you have multiple avenues to make money- affiliate marketing, display advertising, sponsorships, etc.

Might be a couple of months, might be a couple of years, but it does take some time. The good thing is that it’s a passive income idea and you can continue making money from your posts forever.
Blogging also offers you a lot of flexibility and freedom. It’s scalable too (once your blog grows, it can easily make you a full-time income and more). If you enjoy writing during your free time, you should consider starting a blog.
