28. Start A Blog
Writing a blog can generate income, especially if you do affiliate advertising as part of your posts. What’s affiliate advertising? Say you have a cooking blog, and you recommend that people use a particular brand of tomato sauce for a specific recipe. Every time someone clicks on the link to that brand of tomato sauce, you make a small amount of money.
Starting a serious blog that people will want to read does take a lot of effort. If you are currently unemployed, you may finally have time for that effort. It would be best if you had a legitimate area of expertise and a unique take on that expertise. For example, instead of just being an excellent cook, if you want your blog to gain traction, you need to be able to help people cook for vegans, those with gluten intolerance, or those who are lactose intolerant. You also need a professional website that you spent serious time designing.
