Yes, it is possible to earn money with a blog according to various sources. Even in 2020, people are making money. Although only 9% of bloggers are earning between $1,000 and $10,000 per month, and four percent make over $10,000 a month. After that, the rest make on average $3.50 per day.
The best advice on creating money with your blog is to have a strong brand and be relatable to the people reading your blog. It also makes sense to not put all of your eggs in one basket. Have multiple streams of income, like YouTube, affiliate links, and merchandise.

You must have a passion for creating videos and sharing your story as well, because you could be making content for years before it starts to pay off.
