Hello BHW

I am a novice/beginner programmer from the US.

I am expecting my first child soon and am seeking ways to work from home or find a passive income. I've been thinking about ways to make a living using MTurk by Amazon, but i'm not sure how viable that option is. On BHW I primarily see methods of using ads on blogs to make an acceptable living; is this still working? If so, how well does it work? I only have about 5 months before I need to have a reliable, established income from home. I'd appreciate and tips or advice you can offer.

Thank you,
Arq

Welcome to BHW. From what I've seen there is a huge amount of ways to make money, it just depends on what you want to do.
Invest some time in trying a few things and see what sort of response you get. If you want it to last long term, I'd be thinking about going down a few different avenues, so that all your eggs aren't in one basket. You never know what'll happen, if one of your accounts gets banned, or a website get hacked etc etc.
