QUESTION = Is it still possible to make money from YouTube and blogging if you just start today?
ANSWER = It’s definitely possible. Although, I would say YouTube would be a much better use of your time than blogging.
For one, people would rather watch a video than read a blog post for the most part. Additionally, YouTube will allow you to create a stronger bond with your audience. That loyalty created over time will be quite useful when you want to further monetize your YouTube channel. If people are simply reading a blog post, they aren’t seeing your face and your personality, which will make them very likely to leave your blog and never return.
If you really want to though, you could do both. That way, you have both a YouTube channel and a website. You could use your YouTube channel to direct people to your website, where they can sign up for an email list, buy a course from you, read a blog post of yours, etc.
