Can I Teach You How to Get Rich Blogging?

I do think people get rich blogging – Yaro Starak and Darren Rowse are good examples. I’m also beginning to make some money on my blogs which are niche specific. But it takes work and years to get your blog highly ranked with lots amounts of traffic. You need about 200 targeted visitors a day to make 1 sale a day. For me I’m at the stage where I’ve given up my day job because I earn that already. But I still have clients which I’m hoping I can drop too and only blog.

I heard it best said once like this, "do you want to know how to make a small fortune in blogging? Start out with a large one." Ha ha...thought that was appropiate. Thanks

I agree. Anyone who has tried should know by now, blogging isn’t quick and it isn’t rich. It’s a very slow process that builds up over time. It’s dedication to your trade. Most don’t understand that you have to write great content, and write a lot of it. It’s a never ending job. That’s why it only pays if you find a topic or niche that you love. If not, you are doomed from the start. With bloggers, it’s always, “What else can I try?” Something’s gotta work… I hope! :)

It is so nice to hear some frank and honest talk about blogging income. It is interesting to see the benchmarks you need to meet before you start seeing any real income. Thanks for being so open and honest with this post!

I ignore those teaching how to get rich.

I pay attention to those teaching how to earn money.

Big big difference it is. ;)

Even if that truth is hard, its better to say it and be listened to. Many people has been scammed and deceived and it will continue to be if they are looking for a fast way to make success.
What is important being the fact is that success comes with patience and hard work if you really know what you are doing.

I know blogging business require a hard work, just like other business. But your word in some parts seem too much.

If the one can make a blog with 20,000 page views and PR2, i'm sure $50 is not that hard especially if the blog is about very specific HPK niche. The other alternative is by selling review article (not paid per article like sponsoredreview, but a direct review selling).

Don't you think this article will make newbie feel down?

I think turning into a good figure blogger depends not only in great content and frequent posting for the long term, but also very much in your online marketing skills – your ability to promote your blog in social media and other channels to bring mass traffic to your blog.

It takes a lot more than just reading a blog to be successful. It take time, hard work and dedication. I wish people would stop looking for get rich schemes and actually try and do something productive.

Congratulations! I do make some income from my blog, not enough to quit my day job. But your efforts are proof that blogging and potential for profit, can get better over time. Brilliant article, thanks for the great information, as always, I enjoy your posts.

I really really love this post, because it is honest.

My little daughter is almost 3 and probably next year i have to go to work lol, and i want to show to hubby that blogging can earn us money, at the moment i only have adsense and one link affiliate, only adsense works, but also not much..

I guess it is not impossible to get rich blogging, but it needs effort and patience.

I have read in another blog, the blogger earns about 3000$/a mo, i wish i could rich it someday, so that i will believe earning money as same as working daily salary is possible!

Thanks for the honesty Justin!

It also depends a bit on the niche and the audience you are targeting which is very broad from arizona to music reviews to science to seo and to travel. Maybe if you are focusing, for example, on a specific niche within the wealth & wellness category and promote it extensively it can be more profitable.
Only once you are reaching the traffic levels you are currently having on your blog, you can expand to other niches within the health category.

It’s true that blogging ‘down the tail’ isn’t a great way to make money, but I agree that your business can benefit in intangible ways. Potential clients can find out a little bit of what you’re all about before jumping in with your company, sort of like a personal branding exercise. You can also use it as a kind of sounding board as you work out what direction your business is going to take.

If blogging is steady, then income will be solid. Though there is NO secret formula for earning steadily, still keep TRUST on something and blog, you will see the benefits soon.

Nice article Justin. :)

You're right all the way! I knew I wasn't alone! I have a lot of room for improvement, though. :)

How mean :P

Please tell us how to earn more

Thanks for the honesty. I was scammed so many times by unscrupulous IM marketers promising so much and I was too naive to see what was coming. I am grateful to now be part of a blogging community who are encouraging, helpful and don't promise a silver bullet but say with persistence, hard work and passion then I can make it with my blog.
Much appreciated and so much better to hear how it really is and that way I am not discouraged but just keep on keeping on. I love blogging so know I will continue and hopefully will have a successful home business in time.

Truly solid statement of fact about some of the false claims and overhyped stuff today, Justin.

Truly blogging for income is not easy and you need to take it step by step, doing recurring work for lots of time before climb to that amount of money :)

Truly inspiration stuff that you said!

Hi Justin,

It's a very refreshing approach that you take here - and not without a bit of humour. Good stuff!

Best wishes from Hamburg

Now that's an honest reporting of income.

I wonder how many people fall for that kind of misrepresentation of blogging income that you see everywhere online. And of course they end up buying whatever "secret" the current snake oil peddler is selling.

One thing we all need to remember, no matter what you are looking at, statistics are very easy to manipulate and misrepresent. Stop, think and look before you leap for the baited hook.

Don't let the unscrupulous online fishermen reel you in. :)
