Poll: How Much Money Do You Earn Blogging In a Month?
Posted by Mert Erkal on May 24, 2008 in Blog, Making Money Online, Marketing PR | 13 comments
Not every blogger will make a fortune from blogging. I understood this quite long ago. Yet it is still possible to make significant amount of money from blogging. Currently I make around $250-$300 from blogging in a month. However, this is less than what it takes to earn my living from blogging.
On the other hand, when I check the previous polls on blogging income, I notice that majority of the bloggers earn less than $10 in average per month. Is that true ? How much money do you make a month from blogging ?Please join my poll (down on the right hand side) and have your say.
Soon I am going to tell you more about alternative ways to make money online. Therefore your contribution to my poll is vital. Thanks in advance!
about 5k this month from referral commissions. not a bad gig
Nothing really, and over a 2.000€ per month.
I’m an advertiser and SEO copywriter, so if even I work as a freelance, my blog is sort of a corporate one. It pays itself in business, not in ads…

Practically nothing.
The hummus blog currently earns about $150 a month, after about 15 month of operation. Both the traffic and income are going up 15-20% every quarter, so I guess all I have to do is keep it up for 3-4 years and than go problogging.
It strongly depends on the niche. There are very low paid niches and you can’t expect much from them.
I do about 4K a month from my debt free life site and about 1k from http://www.free-party-games.com
Hope this helps.

I average about $400-$500 a month. But since I have a great day job I’m not really working so much on the blog.

Mert, I’ve made up to $2000 per month with lucrative writing contracts for company sponsored blogs. Unfortunatly, contracts expire.
Still, last year, since I had several steady paid gigs blogging for others, I made about $1000 per month. Now that I’ve lost some of those gigs, it’s around $700 per month. That includes sponsored posting, affiliate programs, advertising, paid reviews, etc. I also include any social media consulting I do like creating proposals, being paid to speak at conferences, or teaching local blogging workshops.
I make about $1500 a month, but I do social marketing, blog and SEO consultancies, I sell two
different eBooks and and at times an affilite program link (rarley though).
If you do not have your own product in some way or another you have already made the first mistake in monetizing your blog.
Your blogs are there to set you up as an authority on the subject you blog about.
Your comments on other blogs are there to make friends and alliances with other bloggers.
Your blog posts on social bookmarking sites are there to further set you up as an authority.
The whole idea of “wherever I go, there you are” is what blogging, social marketing, social networking and web 2.0 are about.
Also Mert, you will be apt to get more links to your articles if you turn tackbacks on in your blog admin. I linked to this article and you have no trackback URL that I can find.
very ncie post thanks!!!!

I Think this poll lost the term honesty,Many are boasting that they are making around thousands,
have a lot at their statistics you can find how they are boasting.
