I am interested in making couple of bucks (pocket money) <50$ per month from blogging+youtube channel videos. Wondering how much doable is this with affiliates, promotions, adsense. How much traffic should I be getting?
What content would people be interested in seeing and what content would I be able to make?
I am working as a devops support engineer since 2 years. That's all my experience.
If you work hard enough for long enough, you might get enough subscribers and enough views to meet the requirements for Youtube monetization.
But if you don't enjoy making videos, you won't enjoy trying to build a Youtube channel.
Same for writing a blog...it will be better if you enjoy writing.
Finally, successful Youtube channels and Blogs usually succeed based on personality. So make/write what comes naturally. Good luck.
