Blogger Income Statistics - Are We Wasting Our Time?

Published on June 2, 2017

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I came across some interesting statistics while exploring some other blogs in my niche today. On the surface, they seem a little discouraging until you dig into them a bit more. Here is a snapshot of the earning statistics of Bloggers today:

If you're planning to make over $10k per month, you will be in an elite group - the top 4% of the blogging population. Wow - that's a tough pill to swallow.

If you want to look at this in a little different light, however, only 10% of bloggers don't make any money at all. So you have a 90% chance of making some money doing this.

As I began to research some of the more successful bloggers in my niche, I found that the thing that really set them apart from those that weren't making much was simply this - dedication to their cause.

I'm setting out to prove my hypothesis on this. I genuinely believe that anyone is capable of reaching that top 4% with a little hard work and dedication. I'm 1 month into this. I've made $2. (Better than $0) I'm going to document my journey to $10k and share with each of you as I do. Hopefully the things I learn along the road will help each of you reach that top tier as well (if you're not already there!). See you at the top!
