Working on your passion is like playing. Indeed, if you have a passion for football, you will always want to share your opinion about a game or the current burning issues in the football community. All you need is to know how to monetize your opinions, analysis and solutions. You should learn how to set up yourself online or you may sub it to someone else to set up and support you technically.

Players are aware of this fact, but since they are not experts and do not have the time to work on their social media profile, they are willing to pay handsomely to anyone who can do the job for them and do it well. It's not only players, clubs also needs you. It is your expertise and negotiation power will actually determine how much you can earn a month.
