Everyone’s passionate about something. Take that passion and convert it into a blog. To start with, there’s no need to buy a domain. Simply start on WordPress.org and create a free blog. On the other hand, if you are prepared to spend up to $50 (in some cases) for a domain and hosting, then go for it!
If you need help to get started, look for tutorials on YouTube. Step-by-step guides are available to walk you through the process of setting up a blog, launching it, planning an SEO strategy, and then writing content.
5. Use Reddit
Reddit is a highly useful online forum. It’s easy to lose yourself in the comments if it’s something related to your area of interest. Obsessed with Pokémon? I am sure you will come across lots of subreddits (sub-communities) with Pokémon memes, fan fiction, and other discussions. There’s even a possibility to make friends while you’re replying and commenting on threads on Reddit. From classic movies, latest releases, documentaries, TV series, and more, the options are unlimited. You won’t run out of content to watch that’s for sure!
6. Learn a New Language
Adding another skill to add up your sleeve is a new language. Check which the second language is in demand in your country or worldwide and then look for its online tutorials. You can also sign up for a language course if you think you procrastinate too much or want to be held accountable.
7. Read Satirical Newspaper
