A FORMER JP Morgan worker quit his job in the middle of the pandemic to spend more time with his family, and he now earns $6,000 a month from blogging.
Rohan Kadam, 33, had been working in the banking industry as an associate within the consumer sector for eight years.
He said there was nothing wrong with his job, except for the demanding hours it required.
Since his family was growing, spending more time at work sounded less and less enticing to him.
So when Covid–19 hit in 2020, he took the opportunity to quit his job and start a side hustle.
Rohan, who lives in Indiana, had a background in computer science, so he decided to start a blog.
However, it wasn’t an easy start, and he faced many challenges.
Rohan said: “One of the challenges that I came across was information overload.”
There is so much information on the internet, and it may be difficult to make your site stand out.
The second challenge he faced was driving traffic and figuring out how to generate revenue from the site he was building.
Fortunately, Rohan’s wife, Samiksha, who also works in the banking industry, financially supported him as he faced these challenges.
Now two years later, he has now grown his side hustle blog into a full-time web business.
His site, Bikingknowhow.com, gets about 7,000 monthly unique visitors daily and makes about $200 a day in revenue, which equates to $6,000 monthly.
The site is used as an educational resource for amateur and professional bikers to learn how they can improve.
In addition to the blog, Rohan also owns four domains names.
On the four domains names, click-able ads produce Rohan profits.
However, Rohan puts about 50–60% of revenue back into the business, so he can hire other people.
He emphasized: “You cannot grow four websites to the scale that you want to by yourself.
“You will need help, … and I have big plans.”
Rohan explained that he is working on expanding his business and is currently testing out different business models, like selling websites.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have my own business because I have more time to spend with my wife and kids.”
He also makes more per month than he did at JP Morgan.
If you think starting a blog is the right move for you, Rohan encourages you to write about something you are truly passionate about.
He said: “I made this mistake.
“I actually had two other websites before Bikingknowhow.com, but they crashed because I wasn’t really interested in writing about them.”
Once he decided to write his blog about mountain biking — a sport he had been doing for the past six years — it became much easier.
The organic interest he had in the sport helped him develop how he wanted to present his site.
The next tip Rohan shared was to invest in yourself and get educated.
He said: “I invested money in training to get myself where I am today.
“I used platforms like Udemy and Udacity, and I started voraciously reading blogs and success stories of affiliate marketers.
“This helped me get creative and experiment with the growth strategy of my blog.”
