Before you start monetizing or selling your services or products to your potential clients, think very straightforward, why they will purchase from you when they have so many options out there in the market?MY SINGLE PIECE OF ADVICE TO YOU
Having said that, make your own story else you'll end up nowhere if you try to copy others formula or journey. Knowing how much money another blogger/entrepreneur makes is NOT going to help you succeed.
Think about it, we all know the net worth of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. Knowing their income does not help us become billionaires.
However, understanding and focusing on the right metrics will help you set smarter goals which as a result will help you succeed in your online venture.OVER TO YOU
In respect to the question asked, I'll try to answer purely from my digital marketing journey. I made over 2 lacs as part-time from my travel blog TravelEscape.
