Repeat after me : This is not a get rich quick scheme.
Making a blog is a long journey.
It will take time to create an audience.
The first months, you will barely hit anything.
It's more a side hustle that you will build brick by brick.
It's a digital asset.

Is the market saturated ?
I don't think so because everyone had something to share.

But it will be harder to succeed depending your niche.
