How would you make money with a mainstream tech blog? - GoFuckYourself.com

altmman · 11-08-2015, 01:07 PM

I was looking to do some mainstream stuff so started some tech blogs reviewing electronics and gadgets and I link to where people can buy them on Bestbuy, amazon, etc.

After a few months I put some money into it and Im in the hole on it, I haven't made much back really and I'm kind of depressed about it.
I know things take time but if its going to be years before I can earn an income from it then I want to drop this and look at other ideas now.

Anyone have any suggestions on how you could make a living on a tech blog? Like something you could offer that would make people open their wallets and buy?

Well youtube can help build an audience if you're not doing video reviews yet. And monetizing the videos adds up after a while. A tough market to crack since there is so much competition, but I've seen some guys go from 100 to 30000 subs within a year on youtube so it's possible to grow if you keep working at it.

thanks, but what messages do I send to this list? Just that I have a new review up? Or what products can I come up with to sell people?
