2. Blogging
This one requires you to create your own blog. You can choose a topic you are passionate about, for example, lifestyle, love & relationships, politics, sports, travel, or religion. Once you pick your favorite topic, choose a blogging platform.
WordPress and Blogger offer free blog-publishing services you can try. Once your blog is ready, create quality content that will attract readers to the blog.
The more traffic you have, the better your earnings will be. This is because you earn when people click on the adverts on your site. Cost-per-click advertisements enable you to make money each time a reader on your blog clicks on the ad.
