Are you here because you want to know how much money a blogger can make from blogs? Or are you here because you want to know how much money can you make by blogging??
To generate income via blogging, there are several techniques. What we propose in this article is to analyze the Blogging niches and say how you could get with blogging.
We live in a digital age where there are so many ways to get passive income or extra money online. The opportunities to earn passive income are increasing and many have found ways to do it online.
Before I have my own blog, I want to read each blogger’s income report every month. Can I be honest with you? At that very time, I really wonder if all these income reports are realistic or not.
However, I started my journey of exploring the world of Internet marketing, even when I was still in doubt. I tell myself that it is better to do it and discover it for myself than to be on my side and to think if it is possible.
PIN IT FOR LATER!
I believe that success has a formula. When I learn the formula, I can mimic the method they`re used. So I want to know how bloggers make money from their mire.
I researched and wrote this post: 5 Ways To Make Money By Blogging
In the post 5 Ways To Make Money By Blogging, I describe how bloggers make money from their blog site base in these five ways:
1. Show Advertisements (Ads)
2. Sponsored Posts.
3. Sell your very own digital products or service
4. Have Your Own Resources Page
5. Affiliate Marketing
Today, I’ll go one step further by showing a true example of how bloggers are basing it on those 4 forms I listed above. Fortunately, at the end of this post, you’ll see the pattern and how bloggers make money, why they can do it, and why I’ve decided to start mine too.
All the blogs mentioned here are not very well arranged and without further ado. The first place on the list does not mean that this niche is the most popular or generates more money. I only listed it after my research, that’s all.

Hello, ladies! I hope you liked this post. I started my online business journey in 2003, worked for others or sign in at wrong programs. A three years ago I started with affiliate marketing, and now I am running my own online business, working from home. So, I can help you to start your own business.

I’m blogging since one and a half year but I haven’t earned a single penny 🙁
Jelena
That was my story 2 years ago. But, I take this free training and it was turning point for me. Since then, I advise everyone to try this course, because I claim it is the best course for an online business that exists online.

Interesting post from blogger’s view. These tips can help make more money
Jocelyn @ Hip Mama's Place
I’ve been blogging for 11 years now and I still learn something new about blogging everyday. It’s a continuous process and as a blogger, you have to keep up with the new digital trends. Great tips!
Jelena
Thank you so much, Jocelyn!
David Elliott
Blogging for a year and a half I have heard of most of these kinds of revenue streams. I suppose taking a course in how to put them to good use would be good for me at this point. I will check it out.
Vaibhav Mehta
Just started out this month. Still new to all this, it’s kinda intimidating with so many voices and courses and advice but helps to gain some clarity. Hope it’s implementable
Jelena
I hear you! I felt the same feeling when I started with an online business. Over time, you will be able to separate what is important from the irrelevant and to concentrate on the things that bring you profit.
Fashion and Style Police
I make money from my blog from all these ways. There is a lot of money to be made from blogging once you have the passion to make it happen.
Jelena
Totaly agree with you!
Rhian westbury
I don’t make money from ad’s as I don’t like the way that they look on my blog so the only money I make is from collaborations and sponsored posts. But this is really interesting x
Jelena
You can also include affiliate links in your posts, Rhian. In this way, one post can make a profit for you for months or years, and not just once you wrote it.
Tonya Tardiff
This was such an interesting post to read from a blogger’s perspective! I love how transparent you are and hope more people decide to try blogging!
Jelena
Thank you, Tonya!

I’ll be honest with you, if you are in blogging for the money, you are in the wrong line of work. Sure, these are good tips, but realistically, those who are making an income blogging are working either working VERY HARD to get site hits, OR, have found an untapped Internet niche. There’s nothing in between.
Jelena
I agree with you, Claire and thank you for your sincerity. I have never stated that blogging is a quick payday. Time and effort should be invested, but in the end, if you manage to monetize your site, this can be a great source of revenue. I have been working from home for several years now, at the time that suits me, and that is my basic income.

Good for you! I wanna make more money, too. Sigh..and I just realized that some of my pages are not indexed anymore. I wanna cry 🙁
Jelena
At the beginning of August Google started a massive algorithm update. Google has 200 quality standards that Google has issues if your article. Don`t cry 🙂 I suggest you start with free lessons in SEO, keywords and google analytics: Getting Your Site Ready for Search Engines
Geraline Batarra
Wow, this is such a great post and very informative that will be a great help for all people who wanted to earn money in the way of blogging. I will definitely share this with my friends and family, thanks for sharing this with us.

Great tips. Good you didn’t hide this wonderful tips from the public like some..The best way i have actually earned via blogging has been through Adsense and few guest posting on my site. Reading from this blog i need to work harder to earn more
Jelena
You just need to work smarter, not harder. You can earn a lot of money just by adding affiliate links on your existing posts.
Elizabeth O
This is a really helpful post indeed. A lot of bloggers do not like to disclose this information so its great to see you supporting other bloggers like this!
Jelena
Thank you, Elizabeth 🙂
Maja
Hi Jelena,
So many good advice in this post. I’m new to blogging, working affiliate, unsuccessful for now. My problem is blog traffic. Sometimes I feel confused but I go on. I’ll follow you and learn with your advice. Sometimes I give up, so I speak to myself, go again. Thanks for sharing.
Jelena
Hi Maja! I suggest you start with this free training (10 lessons) and you will learn how to increase blog traffic: Building Your Own Traffic Producing Website

Informations are helpful but I am afraid what if I get cheated on. Or what if they don’t like my writing style. Because it would be from some other country and I reside in some other country. Way too risky.
Jelena
It`s not risky at all. Thousands of bloggers earn money this way. Don`t be afraid.
Dogvills
I get revenue through ads placement. It started out slow, but over the years, things got better. Sponsored posts are also a great income source for me. Thanks for the article you shared today. It is going to be a big help for those who are just starting out.
Jelena
Thank you!
Joseph
As a fellow blogger, I appreciate any additional insight to help me monetize my blog. I really like your income report page that allows the reader to follow you on your journey of making money blogging. It’s encouraging to see what is possible from others real experiences.
Jelena
Thank you, Joseph!
The Panicked Foodie
Thanks for all the great tips! Sponsored posts is something I have yet to do, but something I am hoping to do once my site gets a little bigger. I think it’s also important for people to understand that blogging is a long-term game. Most blogs will not end up being successful financially, but the ones that are, take some time (usually a few years) to get there. This of course depends on how saturated their niche is.
Jelena
Agree with you. I’ve seen some great sites that are left out because their owners did not have enough patience.
Kemi
Multiple income streams are definitely required because making money from blogging isn’t easy at all as you’re not exactly selling tangible products. I guess it depends on your niche too.
Angelle
I’ve recently been researching affiliate programs, sponsored posts, and advertising. It’s great to find a blog post that is so helpful in breaking down blogging how-to’s. Thanks for the resourceful guide.
Jelena
Thank you, Angelle!
Anshula
Love this post! The resources you linked to were so incredibly useful (I may have read them all and bookmarked this page). Sponsored posts were a huge lifesaver for me – I think that is the only monetization method I use so I have to look into the other methods you mentioned.
Jelena
You should consider affiliate marketing, Anshula. It can be the most serious source of income on a blog.
Sigrid Says
$17k is two years? Wow! That’s a whole lot of money. Good for you. I have yet to make $1k haha This is so inspiring. Keep it up.
Jelena
Thank you, Sigrid!

Interesting article on how to make money from your blog. Then again it differs from one person to the next. I prefer pitching to magazines and other websites about writing articles to them. I find it clutters the website when there are too many ads and makes it unpleasant for the reader.
Jelena
I agree with you that too many ads can ruin the article and have to be moderately placed. I love affiliate marketing because if you write a good text, with affiliate links, it can be for months, and even years a stable source of revenue.
J
Thank you for sharing this comprehensive article about money-making. It inspires me to develop my blog writing skills and eventually earn in the long run.
Jelena
I`m so glad!
Mary
Love it when Bloggers share information on how to make money from Blogging! There’s so much information out there, and my favorite resources are from other Bloggers who have walked the path before me!!!!
Jelena
Me too. That is my greatest source of inspiration and encouragement to continue.
