If you're trying to decide between these 2 things then I've got one question for you. What is more important to you? Making money as quickly as possible or building a business around something that you love to do that can turn into a passive income in a long run? If you need to make money as quickly as possible, start freelance writing, and in the next couple of weeks, and months you can be building a full-time income.  If money is less important and you really want to build around something you love to do, then maybe start a blog or a niche site because its gonna take longer to monetize, but in the end, you're building an asset for yourself that will be able to bring a passive income. It just might take a year or two before you start making real money online from your blog site.
