encouraging
to succeed in blogging this should have focus and must be a full time business. for people who are just having fun and writing about anything is a good hobby and an extra income as well.
Some figures
Two figures. I opted ti be annonymous.
Business Website. The site has a service plus earns ad revenue. Ad revenue avgs. $800/mo. Sales avg. about $3000/mo. Took about 5-years to get to this point.
Personal sites. Primarily adsense revenue. Started in May. Avg. $150/mo.
OIY the egos
Let me get my wading boots out...
Not for everybody....
I do agree that there are quiet few who earns a good amount of money blogging & social, but many don't earn that much. There might be lots of reason for this, but the very few who earns do this as a full time business and they do have all the tools and resources to achieve success.
Making money on blogs
You get paid to blog; fine. But where does the blogging site make money from to be able to pay the bloggers?
The answer can help in creating a viable financial model for bloggers.
Being Paid for Blogging
They actually get paid to do this ?
A dream job for many
In many cases people blog to share ideas or just for fun
Re: Interesting survey
Hello,
This is an interesting and motivating survey. Having able to earn that amount of money from it is really nice but how long do they actually took to earn that amount of money? If they are doing it consistently, it is really good and congrats to them.

OMG!!, I wish I could do
OMG!!, I wish I could do as much with my blog, I can barely do 10 cents a day using google ads, well, that's actually the only thing monetizing my blog but geez...
Not quite a critic
Hi Chris,
I'd just like to point out that I'm not a critic of blogs as news sources - in fact, if you read the piece you link to, it's stating that blogs make for excellent sources of both breaking and ongoing news.
My actual criticism in that piece was at journalists who decry blogging as non-relevant.
I'd be grateful if you could amend, particularly since your piece went out to the WebProNews network, of which I'm a blog partner.
Thanks,
Danny.
RE: Not quite a critic
Don't you just love crossed wires? :)
Hi Chris,
Sorry if I didn't see that connection - I can see what you're saying and I am appreciative that you felt my post was relevant and worth sharing. Perhaps slightly different wording may have been better, but I can't say that I've never done the same thing :)
Thanks for the response, appreciate it.
Danny.
