“Starting a blog can be a great way to make money, ” Wang said.
You can use free software from a site such as WordPress. org to create your blog and use Google’s free AdSense program to put ads on your site. Additionally, you can join Amazon Associates to earn up to 10 percent in advertising fees by advertising products on your blog.
However, if you can’t devote hours to building a blog, Wang recommends using it as a way to showcase your work.
“The quickest way to earn money off a blog is to use it as a portfolio, ” he said. Show the work that you're doing in your field of expertise to get freelance work or land a new, higher-paying position.
