You can setup a blog on any niche / topic of your own choice. You will have to be a regular in writing unique & useful blog posts that help you bring more visitors to your blog.

There are number of ways to monetize your blog / website, through which you will be able to generate good revenue streams. Your blog must have at-least 5000 unique visitors per day before you should apply for CPM (cost per thousand impressions) / CPC (cost per click) based monetization method. And for having at minimum 5000 unique hits per day on your blog, your blog should have 200 quality articles, which require around 6 months time, based on a fact that you are working as a part time blogger. Although you should apply affiliate marketing monetization strategy from the beginning.

3. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing in simple terms is selling the products and getting your piece of commission out of it. Affiliate marketing is best for those who do possess customer convincing capabilities either by word of mouth or by developing a comprehensive product or service review.
