How to Build a Simple Content Based Online Business in 2025

Creating an online business can feel overwhelming. There’s always a new trend, or a new strategy screaming for your attention.

But what if you could simplify everything?

What if building a sustainable content-based business took just 30 minutes to an hour each day?

That’s exactly what I am going to show you.

This isn’t a theory.

It’s the system I’ve been using for years, and it works. By the end of this article, you’ll have a clear plan to build a business that can generate income in 2025 and beyond-all while keeping your life simple and your sanity intact.

Build a Writing Habit

The cornerstone of this system is writing. Before you roll your eyes and say, “I’m not a writer,” let me tell you: this isn’t about Shakespearean prose. It’s about showing up consistently.

Here’s my process: I write one article a day, Monday to Friday. Each one takes about 20 minutes. They’re short, to the point (like this one!), and packed with value.

Over the last 18 months, I’ve written 372 articles on Medium.

That habit alone has transformed my business.
