It&#8217;s Epic For Side Income"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you looking for a good side hustle, considering blogging, but wondering if it&#8217;s worth it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, rest assured you&#8217;ve landed in exactly the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog post, I&#8217;ll be breaking down if blogging is worth it, if it is a good side hustle &amp; most importantly, if it can actually make you a handsome income on the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you&#8217;re wanting to find out how much you can earn by blogging &amp; how much time you&#8217;ll need to invest to make it happen, keep on reading for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Blogging a Good Side Hustle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, blogging is an absolutely fantastic side hustle &amp; I can say that with confidence because I personally rolled with it as my own side hustle many years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was so good that it ended up becoming <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/is-affiliate-marketing-a-full-time-job\/\">my full-time hustle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s right, blogging eventually enabled me to leave my job &amp; as a result, I&#8217;ve been able to enjoy time freedom, location freedom &amp; money freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admittedly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nt0vzbs44j4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">it&#8217;s not all sunshine &amp; rainbows<\/a>, but the reasons I believe blogging is good side hustle are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It costs next to nothing to start a blog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-affiliate-marketing\/\">don&#8217;t need any experience or technical knowledge<\/a> to succeed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can earn money from things you&#8217;re passionate about or interested in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-much-money-can-you-earn-as-an-affiliate\/\">earn as much (or as little) money as you like<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The income you generate <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-make-passive-income-with-affiliate-marketing\/\">can ultimately become passive<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blogging can open up additional opportunities in your life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And if you work hard, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">blogging can make you a millionaire<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But of course, the most important factor for a good side hustle is a nice balance between earning a decent amount of money <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-many-hours-do-affiliate-marketers-work-per-week\/\">whilst not having to work too many hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, blogging makes for the perfect happy medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-affiliate-marketing-make-you-rich\/\">make you rich overnight<\/a>, but if you stick with it, you can quite easily find yourself earning over $500 per month from blogging whilst working just 1 or 2 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you work really hard or increase the hours you work, it&#8217;s very achievable (even for beginners) to earn in excess of $1,000+ per month within their first year or 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings me nicely to the next point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Does It Take To Make $100 Blogging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to blogging, people always typically have the same goals. They want to earn their first $100 for &#8220;proof of concept&#8221;, and then they want to earn $100 per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how long does it take to earn that first $100 blogging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, obviously, the answer to this question is a little difficult as blogging is based on effort &amp; different people will put in varying levels of effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it&#8217;s not impossible to earn $100 in your very first month as a blogger. It&#8217;s certainly unlikely (if you&#8217;re brand new), but it&#8217;s not impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see, if you leverage something known as <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a> on your blog (which is what we teach here at Commission Academy), then <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/is-affiliate-marketing-commission-based\/\">you can earn commissions<\/a> by promoting products or services online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there are many products or services that pay <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/best-100-commission-affiliate-programs\/\">$100 commissions per sale<\/a>&#8230; So, technically, you could earn your first $100 just from 1 single sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s just me highlighting what&#8217;s <em><strong>possible<\/strong><\/em>. Let&#8217;s be realistic&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re totally brand new to blogging, you should <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-affiliate-marketing\/\">set your first month or 2 aside purely to learn about how it works<\/a> &amp; how to get everything set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, realistically, you will likely be talking somewhere between months 3 &amp; 6 to begin earning your first commissions as a blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as to how long it takes you to make $100, well, it depends on what you&#8217;re promoting &amp; how much content you&#8217;ve added to your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s certainly achievable to make $100 within 3-6 months, though. Then, from there, it&#8217;s simply a case of scaling your income up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Make $10K Per Month By Blogging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can certainly earn $10k per month by blogging. And whilst that sounds like a lot of money (which it is), you could even earn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, believe it or not, there are many bloggers <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-affiliate-marketing-make-you-rich\/\">earning over 6-figures every single month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pretty crazy stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s why, here at Commission Academy, we love blogging&#8230; Because it provides such a fantastic way to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">build up a large income online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see, when you blog correctly (as we teach <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\">in our training<\/a>), your income compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that with every blog post you publish, the traffic to your website increases &amp; therefore, more traffic means more sales which, ultimately, means more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So once you&#8217;ve figured out how to make $1, it&#8217;s simply a case of scaling it up until you make $100 per day or $10k per month&#8230; Or until you <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">become a millionaire by blogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Can You Earn In Your First Year of Blogging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This depends mostly on how hard you work &amp; how much blog content you create, but even as a brand-new blogger, you can still earn handsome amounts of money in your very first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could earn $10,000+ in your first year as a blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, you could earn even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But on average, given that people typically start earning around the months 3 to 6 mark &amp; that they typically earn around $500 to $1,000 per month in their first year, around ~$5,000 is a more realistic figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to earn as much as possible is to follow a proven blueprint, like the one that we teach i<a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\">n our free training<\/a> so that you can shortcut your way to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Type of Blog Is Most Profitable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, you&#8217;d be best staying away from creating a personal blog &amp; instead looking to create what is known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-choose-an-affiliate-marketing-niche\/\">niche blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a blog that focuses on a small, specific subject within a larger industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, for example, if you enjoy fitness, you could create a niche blog such as a &#8220;home workout blog&#8221;, a &#8220;kettlebell workout blog&#8221; or a &#8220;yoga blog&#8221;, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason it&#8217;s best to go down this route is that by keeping the topic really specific, you build up a laser-targeted audience&#8230; And this makes it easier to promote things &amp; convert visitors into sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, if you know that every single person visiting your website is interested in home workouts, that gives you a major advantage because you know exactly what types of products to promote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas if you just have a personal blog, how do you know what your readers in at that specific moment in time that they&#8217;re reading your blog?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So a niche blog is always the most profitable type of blog &amp; the good news is that we&#8217;ve not only got <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-choose-an-affiliate-marketing-niche\/\">guides on choosing a niche<\/a>, but we&#8217;ve also got several examples of how to actually start niche blogs, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-wrestling-blog\/\">How to start a wrestling blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-gaming-blog\/\">How to start a gaming blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-photography-blog\/\">How to start a photography blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-dog-blog\/\">How to start a dog blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-fitness-blog\/\">How to start a fitness blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-graphic-design-blog\/\">How to start a graphic design blog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for any other <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-choose-an-affiliate-marketing-niche\/\">niche ideas<\/a>, we&#8217;ve also got a generalized <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">guide on starting a profitable blog in any niche<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line &#8211; Is Blogging Good For Side Income?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully, this post has helped you to see that blogging is absolutely fantastic for side income &amp; that blogging can make for a great side hustle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does it require little time per day to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">start making money with a blog<\/a>, but you can also launch a blog for next-to-no investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And alongside that, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/start-affiliate-marketing-for-free\/\">start affiliate marketing for free<\/a> to monetize your blog &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/is-affiliate-marketing-commission-based\/\">earn commissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when it comes to side hustles, we rate blogging highly&#8230; And if blogging wasn&#8217;t a good side hustle, I wouldn&#8217;t be wasting my time writing this blog post \ud83d\ude02.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So take it from me, blogging is a fantastic side hustle &amp; given that I&#8217;m all for an easy life, if there was a better side hustle to do, you can believe I&#8217;d be doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you, too, would like to launch your own blog, be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">our free beginner&#8217;s guide on how to start a profitable blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, if you happen to have any additional questions or comments, don&#8217;t hesitate to leave them below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a good side hustle, considering blogging, but wondering if it&#8217;s worth it?
