Why A Blog Is The Perfect Side Hustle From Home

I believe everyone should start a side hustle from home and strive to create an additional stream of income for themselves.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the mindset of most people and the vast majority will never really attempt to make things happen outside of their normal jobs/careers.

That’s totally fine, but if you’re reading this post then you are most likely different.

You’re probably craving more and are interested in starting a side hustle from home that provides you with more freedom, flexibility and overall options in your life.

Today I am going to explain why a blog is the perfect side hustle to start from home (and in general).

And also why this is one of the best types of side hustles to start while working full time at another job.

Now if you haven’t yet started a blog, you may want to give this a read here.

If you have any questions after reading this article, please don’t hesitate to reach out and leave a comment.

I hoping this will spark some inspiration for those who really want to move forward with blogging as their side hustle!

Blogging and Why It’s The Perfect Side Hustle From Home

A quick note before we get into the points below is that any side hustle you start will require commitment and hard work. I’m not saying this is going to be easy and want to be as realistic as possible. You need to adopt a long-term and no-fail type of mindset if you are going to make this work and especially when it comes to blogging. Running a blog will require your full effort and dedication, but the sacrifice is worth it!

Let’s dive right in..

Flexibility To Work From Anywhere

Bloggers can work from anywhere where there is a stable internet connection – at home, a local coffee shop, a public library etc. Not many side businesses are you able to have the flexibility to work wherever you want to. For example, if you own a physical brick and mortar store (like a jewelry shop), much of your time would have to be spent at that location running your business. With blogging, you have complete control, flexibility and freedom of where to work from. Talk about options!

Very Inexpensive To Start

Starting a blog is incredibly inexpensive and especially when compared to opening up a brick and mortar store. You can literally get started for $3 per month and have your website up and running in the same day. Of course there will be some tools you may want to purchase down the road like an email autoresponder and certain plugins to monetize your website and make it run smoother….But the monthly and even yearly expenses are pretty minimal. This allows almost anyone to start a side hustle from home and in a matter of minutes.

Works For You 24/7, 365 Days a Year

Your blog is a living and breathing asset that works for you 24/7, 365 days a year. Really try to let that sink in. This is one of the most powerful concepts to understand when it comes to blogging. When you publish a blog post, it is up there forever for people to discover and read. You can be sleeping, eating, vacationing, whatever and your blog will still be “open for business”. Now obviously you will have to put in the work to write high-quality blog posts and implement proper SEO work to get traffic rolling into your website, but a blog can really provide immense time-freedom. Think of every blog post you publish as a little piece of virtual real estate that never stops working. Thanks to the internet, this type of powerful business model is now possible.

Unlimited Income Potential

The earning potential with a blog is pretty much limitless. There’s no “ceiling” really to how much you can earn since you are the boss. There’s tons of different ways to monetize your website to make money from it and there’s also tons of strategies for driving more traffic to it. This means that there is some serious earning potential once you get the ball rolling and your blog gets a bit more established. This is also why you occasionally see stories of certain bloggers who make ridiculous amounts and from working less hours than a typical day job. It’s not bogus, but actually very real and possible depending on the individual.

Easy To Work Into A Busy Schedule

Let’s face it, we’re all busy. Many people work over 50 hours per week at their day jobs and have minimal time to dedicate to themselves. With blogging, it’s really easy to work your side huslte into your schedule because it doesn’t generally require 8 hours per day. Even doing 1-2 hours per night is enough to start gaining some traction. Obviously, the more work you put into your blog, the better but it’s not required when you’re just starting out. In my opinion, it’s one of the best side hustles you can start while working full time.

Conclusion

Those were just a handful of reasons why I firmly believe blogging is one of the best side hustles you can start from home.

Now will every blogger be successful?

Of course not.

But the ones who stick with it and continue to refine their craft overtime give themselves a heck of a shot.

Hopefully the points laid out above will inspire you to dive deeper into blogging for yourself…

Or maybe for some of you reading this, this will motivate you to keep plugging along.

Either way, this is one of the best business models and side hustles anyone can get involved in.

I know I love it!
