You may decide to research on other businesses such as e-commerce, website design, consultancy etc. Offer other services because blogging could crumble any second as a career due to certain constraints.
I’ve seen people whose means of income died the day they were banned from the Google Adsense program.
I have also seen people who gave up blogging because blogger.com closed down their blog for policy violation issues.
If all your eggs are in the basket of blogging and anything like that happens, what would you fall back to? Make sure to have other things doing, especially as a newbie blogger. Don’t quit your job so you can start blogging.
You can combine the two and finally quit when blogging begins to pay. But still, think of other things to do.
