Starting a side hustle is one of the best decision anyone could make. It gives us the opportunity to explore our creative side and also make some extra money for ourselves. There are number of things one can do to make some extra money. In the beginning of side hustle everyone is excited and full of energy. As the time goes on the side hustle starts to feel like work therefore it gets difficult for many of us to stay motivated to keep on doing it.

The reason for faded motivation could be that most of the time side hustles take time to generate income. This causes the person to feel like that its not going to work therefore there is a dip in motivation to go forward with it. Sometimes we get busy with our routine job and are not able to spare time for our side hustle hence we feel less motivated.

Many side hustles require our creative mind at work and its not easy to get new ideas. This could be the another reason that our side hustle gets neglected. We spend most of our time thinking about what to do next which causes the stress and an urge to quit.

What is niche?

Niche is basically what your blog is about. If you are going to write about health & fitness then that will be your niche. If you have a blog about movies where you write about different kinds of movies like 10 best thrillers of all time or 5 best horror movies then the niche of your blog will be movies. It is important for you to decide a topic about which you are going to create your blog. Blogs which have a niche have more chance to attract visitors and earn money.

Should you do blogging without niche?

It is preferred that if you make a blog, it should be about some particular topic. The reason for that is, blogs that a single topic have more chances of getting noticed.

If your niche is clear you have more chances to get approval from google adsense.

While making a blog that does not have any particular niche there are some things to keep in mind.

Do’s for blogging without niche

  • Do make categories in your blog. Categories are basically your blog posts about different topics. For example, you have written 5 blogs about singing and 5 posts about health & fitness. Make sure you separate those blogs with categories. Making categories can be hard as the beginner but you will learn it eventually.
  • Be consistent with your efforts. In the beginning earning from your blog can be difficult and it may take some time. You have to be patient and consistent with your content. Like I say in all my posts that consistency is very important to generate money from your blog.

Don’ts for blogging without niche

  • Do not write about something that you have no knowledge about. Whatever you are writing make sure that you at least know some things about that topic.
  • Do not write about a topic only one time and then move on to another topic. If you have made a post about singing then make sure you write at least 5-6 blogs about singing. If you write about it only once then you may have difficulty in getting adsense approval on your blog. That does not mean that you have to write 5 post about singing in a row. You can write about something else but remember to write about singing again.

You don’t have to worry about the niche of your blog to earn money. Focus on your content and remember to stay patient and consistent with it. Consistency is the key. Also checkout my other posts, that will help me with my blog.

3. Nothing is free

You may have seen or read about start earning free from online platforms. Let me tell you there is no absolute free method to earn online. If you are thinking of starting a business then you will definitely need some money to get started. You need money to invest in stock market. If you want to write a blog, you have to buy a domain and hosting name first before you start.

You may say that starting a youtube channel is free which is true but I think that is true only if you have a smartphone and a laptop or computer. I said laptop because unless you are very good in editing and you can do it on your phone you will definitely need a laptop that can help you.

Only free way to earn online is doing an affiliate marketing. You can do that on your facebook or instagram page but earning from affiliate marketing can be difficult for the beginners. It will require a help from your friends and followers in order for you to earn your first income.

These are some important things in my opinion that you need to know before you start your side hustle. I think its best if you do something in the side that can help you in making some money for yourself. If you find this information helpful do share it with more people.
