🧑‍💻 How to Earn $5k Per Month Giving Helpful Career Advice

Were you some technical wizard before diving into the world of making money online?

I don't think most of us were. But we're lucky to live in an amazing time where we have access to all the tools we need to get going.

Beyond a little education, all we need is determination and perseverance.

And our guest interview today on Niche Pursuits, Saranya Ramanathan is proof of this.

Back in 2018 she was a stay-at-home mom and started a personal finance and career blog as a side hustle with zero experience building sites.

And even though she tackles incredibly competitive topics, she's managed to grow the site to now generating $5000 a month through her affiliate and ad revenue.

How she did it is what she gets into today.

She covers a wide range of helpful topics like:

  • How and why she started her blog
  • Her approach to affiliate marketing
  • How she uses Pinterest
  • Her keyword research strategy
  • Tips on content creation
  • The importance of recurring affiliate income
  • Her favorite tools
  • Why and where she outsources tasks
  • How she stays on top of industry changes
  • Her thoughts on theme selection
  • Her steps for starting a blog today
  • Advice for other entrepreneurs

As she's proven with the success of her site, she's excellent at giving helpful and clever advice. And this interview is no different.

I'm sure you'll get lots out of it.
