EAD approved - how to monetize blogs

[arnkrishn]

Hello

 

My wife got her EAD card a week ago. She has been on H4 all this while and doesn't have an SSN.

She is planning to start her own blog now and would like to monetize it as well. Now that she has the EAD, what would be the right steps for her to legally earn money from her own blog? Can she apply for SSN?

 

Really appreciate your inputs.

 

Regards

Arun

With the EAD, she can get an SSN, since she is allowed to work.

As for "monetizing" a blog, if you mean ads, she can get things like Google Ads on there. They need the SSN as tax id.

But if her blog doesn't have many visitors, the amount of money she could make through ads is negligible.
