How do bloggers earn money? Where do they earn their income? Larger influencers tend to make their money when brands come to them directly, but what do you do when you're starting out? What happens if you don't have huge brands reaching out to you via email or social media platforms? How can you earn money when you don't have an enormous following or crazy page views?

Blogging is just one of my income streams. It's important to have multiple income streams. You never know how one month is going to fare compared to the next. Find multiple ways to earn money.

Take Reese Witherspoon for example. You may have seen her in Big Little Lies, Sing, or Hot Pursuit. She gets paid to act, we know that. But she also has a lifestyle brand Draper James that sells clothing, handbags, jewelry, & home accents. She established the production company, Pacific Standard. She was a global ambassador for Avon. I mean, she has a lot going on. That's business. She doesn't rely on just one income stream.

ReplyDeleteIncome streams is something I have seriously been thinking about over the last few months! I love the Reese Witherspoon example. Something I realised since becoming self-employed is that it is possible to have lots of different projects. Unlike in a regular job where you simply just to go that workplace.
