In the previous episode, I told you about the beginning of my freelancing career, my Google AdSense earning and YouTube channel. If you have missed it, you can read my post here.
Okay, so I got my first earning from AdSense (YouTube earning + blog earning). But, still, in this expensive world, that amount could not fulfill my needs. I have not told you, guys, how I ended up working as a blogger. So, what happened: after my graduation, I was eagerly finding something through which I would never get bored in my life. So, I found my interest in web designing and web development.
I joined an institute to learn designing and some coding, and one thing I can say: it was not interesting at all for me. Sitting hours and just writing stupid codes to make a below average looking website. Then I explored more, and one of my teachers told me about WordPress. I hope many of you have heard of it. It is a free platform to start a wonderful website. In the beginning, I thought that all the available themes are not free, and I did not have enough money to buy a full customized good-looking theme. So, I decided to create my own.
After spending many hours, I finally made my own theme on WordPress, which was really ugly in comparison to others, and I decided to remove it as soon as possible. But, you know, I think that sometimes your success is the time and efforts that you put on that ugly product which is definitely a failure. I learned many things about WordPress in that project, and later even created websites for other people. I charged 70-100$ for each, which helped me in paying for my rent and food.
Soon, I stopped getting website projects, and again the situation got worse. I daily wrote 4-5 articles for blastingnews.com to make at least 25-30$ a week. It had been not that much bad until they removed that opportunity. I was without work for almost 1 month and borrowed money.
In November 2017, I got an opportunity to create videos for the same website at 5$/video for the first 21 days and then 3$/video. For my whole video blaster career, I earned 2000-2500$ which was almost equal to an annual salary of a regular Indian employer, and even more.
Meanwhile, I was regularly publishing videos on my YouTube channel which was also providing me some passive income. Currently, I have almost 10k subscribers on my channel and 1.7 million views.
In the next episode, I will tell you how I grew my YouTube channel.

You’ve been doing a lot despite your young age! Well done! ?
2000-2500$ is slightly above an average monthly salary here instead. ?

Very interesting1 I don’t have an Adsense account yet and I am planning to apply using my blog. Though I am more interested in creating my own product. I am happy to learn more about blogging and creating websites.
Good luck with getting your first Adsense! It is not very difficult, I am sure that you will get it! It generates passive income and is perfect for blogs and YouTube channels
