Should Bloggers Make Money?

Make Money 8 March 2009 | 154 Comments

How to make money online is definitely an interesting topic to discuss, it is probably one the most searches topic on search engines. Of course, autographs for sale is not a good business model to start with.

I believe most of you guys have read about the “how” many times through various blogs. But be careful, those “whole heartedly” explanations might lead you to a sublime sale page.

Targeting to position my post on certain keywords and to help explain money online, I ranted about the “how” on this blog which include some fundamentals of making money online on so you want to make money online huh? – this is the first part of the series.

Apart from selling Charles Schulz art ;) , blogging is one of many possible ways to make money online. As you might notice, a lot of bloggers have been able to make a descent amount of money doing what they first called, “a hobby”. Here’s to list a few:

  • Michael Arrington
  • John Chow
  • Darren Rowse
  • Carl Ocab
  • And many more..

Obviously, they enjoy what they did, but question like: should they make money from blogging? is often audible.

If you ask me that question, my answer is an absolute yes. People might have some arguments about the growth of “fully-fill-ads” blogs which lead to less information/entertainment and more useless blogs. But if the readers enjoyment is preserved, like most of professional bloggers did, I do not see any false step in making money through blogging. In fact, blogging is one of business models that can generate substantial revenues.

Earning money from blog is not an easy job. It will not happen overnight. People who tell you contrariwise is very likely to make fortune from scummy movie memorabilia. Professional bloggers are making four-to-five figure income per month and that fact reinforce my answer to a definite yes.

What do you think?
