Blogging in Kenya is a viable source of income for those with the right skills and knowledge. A common blog topic is personal finance, and there are numerous online directories of bloggers who write about topics such as health, travel, parenting, and home improvement. According to the blogosphere research company BlogHer, the median income for bloggers in the United States was $10,000 annually in 2013.
In Kenya, the figure is likely to be lower due to a lack of established blogging platforms and an unreliable internet connection. However, with perseverance and a good understanding of Kenyan blogging etiquette, it’s possible to earn a modest living from blogging.
If you have experience writing quality content and have an audience that is interested in your subject matter, blogging can be a lucrative way to make a living in Kenya. However, if you don’t have experience writing or if your content isn’t well-suited to Kenyan audiences, it may be difficult to generate consistent traffic and make a profit from your blog.
Additionally, because Kenyan blogs are typically shorter than American blogs (on average), it may be difficult to create a blog that is both informative and engaging. If these challenges are insurmountable, it may be more profitable to consider pursuing other business opportunities that can offer more stability and security.
