Why Blogging For Money Sucks
Instead of including a few introductory paragraphs I’ll just go straight to the point and use Darren Rowse’s poll to show you why blogging for money sucks.
Here’s a quick summary of Darren’s poll “How Much Did You Earn In October 2007 From Blogging?”:
a) There were 3054 responses which, in my opinion, is a big enough number to allow us to rely on the results as being very accurate.
b) There are actually some good earners who blog for money:
- 9% earn over $15,000 per month
- 7% earn between $2,500 and $15,000 per month
This leaves 84% of bloggers earning less than $2,500 per month from blogging for money.
If you want to go one step lower, then 81% of bloggers earn less than $1,500 per month from blogging.
