10 years ago I decided to start my first side hustle. The best decision I ever made.

I knew a tiny bit about online marketing & finance. So I created a blog in the finance niche.

No need for a degree & I learned by doing. Anyone can do it!

This is how you can do this too https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">

1. Pick a topic you know something about. Best thing to pick is something you really enjoy doing / are passionate about.

Don& #39;t make it too broad. Niche down.

Everyone is focussed on healthy food. How about niche down to healthy food for ppl with a nut allergy?

2. Google the topic. Go through the top 10 results. Can you do a better job? (Don& #39;t be scared by video& #39;s, images, infographics, shit like that) We& #39;ll get to that later. If yes. Go to step 3. If no, back to step 2. Choose something else. Or be prepared for a longer learning curve.

3. Is there a market for your niche? Google "keyword planner". Fill in a couple of keywords and see what the results are. Are people searching for the stuff you wanna write about? Anything above 1000 searches/month is good enough to start with. Found some? Step 4!

4. If you& #39;re still serious... It& #39;s time to buy a domain and setup your web hosting and start DOING. Read my guide here: https://yannickveys.com/5-easy-steps-how-to-start-a-successful-and-profitable-blog/">https://yannickveys.com/5-easy-st...

5. Tell your doubts to f*ck off

- I sucked at writing
- I never set up a website
- I never made a dime from an online business

My first month I earned $2.17. The picture shows my monthly revenue a few years in (just 1 of my revenue streams).

What& #39;s holding you back? Go create!
