Both programming and blogging are highly competitive and difficult to make money.
1) freelancing, find niches with less competition like for example: webflow website development.
2) blogging is tough I will suggest research about it before you take this endeavor.

Undoubtedly , blogging is more profitable if the blog becomes a success. But it will take time and probability to succeed is less. On the other hand, freelancing allows you to earn from day 1.

Earning money from blogging takes time and patience. Freelancing is a good choice if you need quick cash. Once you build expertise in a niche, you will get paid more for freelancing jobs. Plus, you can then blog about your journey, too.

That’s a great place to start! Focus on small coding projects first to build confidence, and for blogging, just start writing about what you’re learning—even simple posts help you practice and grow.

I would prefer to create articles and social promotion about alternative freelancing platforms and earn affiliate commissions from freelancers and buyers who join using my link

If you know nothing about blogging, there are less chances to succeed. Suppose, you hire some team and still they do not do something properly, how will you check their work ?

Freelancing is more profitable short term since you trade skills for money, while blogging is slower but can scale bigger once you build traffic and authority.

Freelancing is more profitable short term since you can start earning as soon as you land clients. Blogging takes a lot longer to build traffic and income, but it can become more passive over time.

Freelancing can pay well, but a successful blogger with a strong website can generate a good passive income, particularly through smart advertising partnerships. Blogging also tends to take less time than freelancing.

Myth. Freelancing doesn't pay money faster. It's very hard to get work until you are established.
