How I Earned $4,070 Blogging in March 2020 (During Pandemic)

March 2020 was a life-changing month for all of us, one way or another.
Whether you’re a business owner, live in a country directly affected by COVID-19, can’t go to work and have to stay at home for a few weeks or months, have financial troubles due to unstable economy, are worried about your loved ones, or have even been stuck in another country which closed borders while you were traveling… we’re all in this together.
In fact, for the first time, all of us, regardless of where we are located, are affected by the same problems. Self-isolation, anxiety, uncertainty, etc.
The Internet is full of the pros and cons of all this. And to be honest, I love reading the articles talking about the benefits of the coronavirus pandemic. This will forever stay in history and it’s a period in our lives that scientists will use for the next few decades to analyze so many things. This data we are collecting now is priceless (like how, for example, the air pollution in some parts of Europe dropped by 40% once self-quarantine mode took place).
It’s crazy how much can happen in a week. And while that’s something we’ve all heard on different occasions, we now finally had the chance to see it. Our plans are nothing in the face of what life has planned for us. But as with anything else, it’s our responsibility to stay calm, work with what we got and make the most of it.
In this blog income report, I’ll share the numbers for March 2020 (income and expenses) as well as what I worked on. I will also talk about how coronavirus affected my blogging business directly (especially once the USA was hit), what measures I’m taking, and how I deal with all this. Hope you find the information useful.
