Why Most Bloggers Don’t Make Any Money, and How to Turn it Around
I’m not sure what the exact statistics are, but I’m certain most bloggers don’t make much – if any – money from their efforts. It’s a shame too. After all, you were so energized when you first launched your blog.
Perhaps you were inspired by the stories of successful bloggers. People like Yaro Starak, John Chow, Darren Rowse, Leo Babauta and other rock-star bloggers who “work a few hours per day from the comfort of their home, and earn a six-figure income.” Maybe you read their stories and thought, “wow, that’s for me.” Now, here you are, six or twelve months down the line, and still, you have little to show for your efforts.
I know how you feel. I’ve been there myself. I launched my first blog, Small Business Branding in 2004 when blogs were just starting to become cool. At the time, like many of you reading this, I worked a full-time job and devoted most of my spare time to building my blog. I wrote good content, did the SEO thing, networked with other bloggers, did link exchanges, created a podcast, interviewed other bloggers. The whole nine yards (almost).
