The another question which struck us is what to do as a side hustle. Which side hustle can turn out to most beneficial and will make us more financially independent. These questions often stop us from actually doing anything about it. We spend our time in thinking about what to do instead of actually trying to do something.

Side hustle can be anything which you decide to do alongside your job. It could be your you-tube channel, your own blog, the book you write or affiliate marketing. Anything which helps you make some extra money can become your side hustle. Among all the side hustles which people can do online, blogging and starting a you-tube channel are most popular. Main reason for these two becoming so popular is the ease of access. Almost anyone can start his/her own you-tube channel or write a blog. You just need a smartphone and an account to get started.

If you used to make new posts every two days then you may think that if you didn’t continue to do that then your blog may not get views.

Blogs don’t work that way. It is not necessary to make a post in every two days if that was your routine. You also don’t want to have a long gap between two blog posts. This can create some difficulty for you if you haven’t yet got the google ad sense approval.

As a beginner, you need to have good number of posts on your blog so that you can get monetized. You can never know the correct amount of posts to write for successful monetization of a blog. It is safe to have at least 30 posts before you apply for google ad sense. In order to be monetized your blog needs to 3-4 months old. So, you need approximately 30 posts in 3-4 months. I would say that you should have more than 30 posts before applying for ad sense.

Once you have made a successful and earning blog you can decide the number of you want to post. You can post once a week or more than that, that is totally up to you. In the beginning you have to be more consistent with your writing. It shouldn’t be like that you write 30 posts in one or two month and then you write nothing for a month. Make new posts on regular intervals. You have to consistent and patient with your blog in order to make earning from it.
