| | Below you’ll find my latest update on how I make money blogging
(this is something I post about every few months – although it’s been a
over six months since I last did it ).
Also note – I go into a lot of detail on how I make money blogging in ProBlogger the Book.
How Much Money Do I Make from Blogging?
I get asked how much money my blogging makes me on a regular basis.
These days I don’t go into specifics about it – all I will say is that
it continues to be well over six figures per year (but less than seven
figures). What you’ll find below are my top income streams – ranked
from highest earnings to lowest.
Keep in mind that this is a summary of all of my blogs (not just ProBlogger). It does not include any income that I earn from b5media where I’m paid a salary as VP Training.
I hope you find it useful to see the mix and variety of ways that I earn a living from blogging.
1. AdSense
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]Despite
not using it here at ProBlogger any more I continue to use AdSense with
real effect on my other blogs. While I do use AdSense Referrals and
their search feature it is their normal ads that work best for me. I
have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that
250×300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design).
2. Chitika
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]Last
time I did this sort of summary Chitika ranked #1. This time around it
has been overtaken by AdSense – not because Chitika slipped in how much
it earned but because AdSense went up and because I also replaced a few
Chitika ad units with WidgetBucks ones. Chitika offers a range of ad units that I experiment with. I find their eMiniMalls work best and that Related Product Units are also good. Their Shoplincs
product isn’t performing as well as it once did for me – mainly because
I’ve been promoting it less and have driven less traffic to it. Over the time I’ve been using Chitika they’ve now earned me over a quarter of a million dollars!
3. Amazon Associates
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]
This has been one of my big movers in the last 12 months. I used to
make a few odd dollars from it – however in recent times it has become
a significant earner for me (as I’ve shared previously).
This quarter it overtook TLA as my third biggest earner – largely on
the back of me directing traffic to Amazon from my product related
sites – mainly digital cameras. While the commission on cameras is only
4% this adds up when those that you refer buy higher ticket items.
4. Private Ad Sales/Sponsorships
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]This includes ad sales of the 125 x 125 ads
here at ProBlogger as well as a couple of private ad deals that I did
with sponsors on my camera blog (including sponsorships with Canon,
Kodak and Adobe). This area has jumped up since last time also as a
result of the new design here at ProBlogger and our expanded sales team
at b5 who now sell ProBlogger’s ads for me.
5. Text Link Ads
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]The
income from TLA has dipped slightly over the last few months simply
because I took the decision to stop selling them here at ProBlogger and
most of my other blogs. This was because I wanted to focus more upon
selling the 125 pixel ads instead and felt that the ads I was
attracting were not as relevant to this site as they could have been.
As it turns out this might have been a good move because it seems
Google has been penalizing blogs that run them lately.
6. ProBlogger Job Boards
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]
The job boards here at ProBlogger continue to grow each month in the
number of advertisements that are being bought. This enabled me to
invest most of the money that they’d earned a while back into getting a
new back end for the boards and to redesign them. It hit me today that
the boards are now bringing in around $1000 a month in revenue which is
pretty nice considering that they are now so low maintenance to run!
I’ve just given a development team a new brief to expand the job boards
in the coming month so stay tuned for some new features coming soon
which could see this revenue increase and more importantly for it to
become an even more useful resource to readers.
7. Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]I
run a variety of affiliate programs on my blogs – most of which bring
in smaller amounts of money that don’t really justify a category of
their own. These include – - Digital Photography Secrets (a camera technique series), Pro Photo Secrets (a great photoshop product) , Yaro’s Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program, SEO Book
(Aaron’s legendary resource). This area is set to continue to grow in
the current quarter with me having had reasonable conversions from the
promotion of the excellent Teaching Sells course.
8. Miscellaneous Advertising Programs
[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]I
also play with a number of other ad networks. Some I run as tests to
see if I should review them here – and some are just advertising that
run in the background on some of my smaller blogs. These include AuctionAds, Feedburner RSS ads, Vizu (a poll advertising system), Kontera and Bidvertiser.
Together these don’t add up to major earnings for me – not because they
are not good, but because I don’t use them heavily (a blog can only run
so many ads on it).
I think that that covers most of it. Since last quarter I’ve also been experimenting with WidgetBucks
as well as one other ad system that is still in a closed beta test. I’m
certain that WidgetBucks will feature in next quarter’s list because I
am getting good returns on that so far. In fact at it’s current
earnings it’ll debut at at least number 4 on the list and perhaps even
at number 3.
How Much do I Spend?
As mentioned last time – I don’t spend a lot of money in order to
bring in my income. I do have some basic blogging costs (hosting etc)
and play around with a limited amount of advertising (AdWords and
StumbleUpon) but rely more heavily upon word of mouth and organic ways
of drawing income into my blogs. I also have some costs in paying
writers on a couple of blogs – but these don’t make up a massive part
of the overall earnings each quarter.
