Hi,
I'm a 40 year old working a 9-5 job and I'm at a point in my life now that I really want to start on my own.
I'm a father to a one year old and for the past year or so I've been desperate to start doing something online in order to start making money and eventually quit my job.
The problem, in the past, has always been making the start. I just didn't know what I should pursue.
But now I've been seriously thinking about doing two things :
1. Starting an online blog.
2. Learning and starting copywriting.
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me with the following:
1. Is 40 a bit too old to learn about blogging and copywriting and to start making a living online?
2. I don't know if I write well so obviously there is a bit of self doubt.
3. I am prepared to learn. I have a few ideas/topics that I have an interest in so I don't mind blogging on these. With the right learning is it still possible to earn about $1000 a month via blogging after a year in 2020. Or is making money via blogging a thing of the past?
4. Similarly, with copywriting, I am prepared to read books and learn about copywriting. I will start small via freelance sites. Is it possible to make five figures with freelance copywriting?
Would love your advice on the above. I agree that it's better to take action rather than mull over everything but I don't know if it's still possible to make enough money with the above so I can quit my job. That's what I want to do.
Thanks
