I know you can make money blogging

October 18th, 2009

I know you can make money blogging. If it ever seems to you that you can’t do something you have to go out there and find someone who’s done it already and learn from them. I’ve been doing a bit of Google power searching and have found a lot of sites that have made blogging income. I originally was just keeping these statistics for myself but thought they might inspire some of you starting out blogging like myself.

NOTE: These statistics come straight from the sites themselves. I am only quoting what they have mentioned that they’ve made. I don’t know any of these bloggers personally.

The owner of this blog started blogging full-time in March of 2009 and just look at how his income shot up. 8 months from starting he was earning £1922 or $3142 per month. A very comfortable income, especially for someone my age with few commitments. Or at least a pretty nice side income to add to the main one.
