First step: Sign up for 1-2 affiliate programs (like Amazon Associates) and drop links when you naturally mention products.

Mixed Answers? Do This:

Start freelancing to get quick cash, then use that money/time to build products or affiliate sites later.

The Real Talk

• Freelancing = immediate cash but ongoing work
• Digital products = slower start but passive income later
• Affiliate marketing = easiest start but unpredictable

There’s no “perfect” path—just the one that fits your personality and schedule.
