Hello! My name is Higashi no Kumo.
Welcome to my new blog! I recently decided to start this project with one clear goal: to explore how much income I can generate from blogging as a side hustle. My aim is to provide honest, practical information for anyone interested in launching a blog, monetizing their content, or discovering Japanese culture and original creative works.
Can Blogging Actually Make Money?
Many beginners ask themselves: “Is it really possible to earn from blogging?” I had the same doubts at first. The truth is, if you approach blogging strategically, it can become a reliable source of income. There are several monetization methods, including displaying ads, affiliate marketing, and selling digital products.
However, blogging success rarely happens overnight. That’s why I plan to document my journey openly on this blog, showing what works and what doesn’t. I’ll track weekly pageviews, reader interactions, and ad revenue, presenting everything in clear visual formats. This way, anyone can see the realistic side of earning through blogging.
Original Novels to Entertain Readers
A unique feature of this blog is my ongoing series of original novels. Writing is my passion, and I want to create stories that blend everyday life with imaginative fiction, providing entertainment for my readers.
I’ll release new chapters weekly, focusing mainly on comedy, romance, and slice-of-life genres. In addition to storytelling, I’ll weave in elements of Japanese culture and local details, allowing readers to enjoy a taste of Japan while following the story.
Introducing Japanese Culture to an International Audience
Blogs today can reach people worldwide, and I want to take advantage of that. This blog will also highlight aspects of Japanese culture, local attractions, and daily life in English. For readers outside Japan, the country’s traditions and customs often feel fascinating and unique.
Examples include seasonal foods, traditional festivals, local crafts, and everyday habits. By sharing these insights, I hope to reach a broader audience while also growing the blog as a potential side-income venture.
Tracking Growth with Data
One exciting part of blogging is measuring progress. I’ll regularly post detailed weekly metrics, such as overall pageviews, traffic per article, and reader engagement.
By analyzing this data, I can understand which content resonates most with readers and which strategies are effective. For anyone interested in blogging themselves, this information can serve as a useful guide, showing the realities of growing and monetizing a blog.
Your Support Matters
Ultimately, my goal is to share the joy of this journey. While generating income is a key objective, I also want readers to enjoy my original stories and Japanese cultural content.
Your support helps keep this project alive. If you enjoy the content, sharing posts on social media or leaving comments motivates me to continue. Together, we can follow the growth of this blog and see how a side project can gradually turn into income.
Moving forward, the blog will focus on three pillars: releasing original novels, presenting Japanese culture in English, and sharing growth metrics. Thank you for your support!
