I often get asked the question “How much money can bemade through blogging?”. I wanted to be able to help out the people who have been asking me about it, which is why I wrote this post! A few days ago I created an anonymous form and asked bloggers to share how much money they make blogging! I was amazed at how quickly people responded, and I’m thrilled that I can already share the information with you!
There are definitely a lot of different factors to consider when starting a blog, so I hope that this post helps you figure out if blogging is the right “work at home” option for you.

Let’s get started!
Meet the bloggers!

Any Advice for those hoping to start earning money blogging? Cut back on doing product reviews without monetary compensation unless you really love the product. This is not a “stepping stone”, as some would think, but rather a potential waste of your time and resources. The best way to get “hired” to do paid posts is to have regular and varied content, write in a professional way grammatically, but in a chatty/friendly way for your actual content. Brands want to see that you are engaged with your readers and that there is a relationship there. If you sound like a commercial then you’re not likely to engage very many readers.
