Internet & Tech: 14K from a blog?
1 to 9 of 9

Bowmania had posted something on YE that lead to someone talking about a guy making 14K in May from his blog.
What the heck?!

Yea I saw that. That's one of my goals actually. To have a professional blog within the next couple of years that generates a steady cashflow. 14k? I'm not that ambitious.

He admits on his website that very few people can make $14,000 a month. But he works on his blogs for 12 hours a day - that's probably 50 posts a day? Somewhere around there.
If you love blogging enough to devote that kind of time to it you can definitely hit $14,000 a month.
Weblogs Inc. is getting VERY close to the $1,000,000 a year mark from Google AdSense. It will be exciting when they finally hit it :) Unfortunately they have 103 bloggers they're paying to write for them...so $1,000,000 split 100 ways gets a little thin...

No it doesn't...even if you pay them a regular wage (30k a year give or take), that's only $400,000 or so of wages, so you pocket $600,000k from blogging?

No...your math is wrong.
10k x 100 bloggers = 1,000,000
At most they can pay each blogger 10,000 a year - and they're not making any for themselves at that point.
30,000 x 100 = 3,000,000 - not 300,000.

That's the wrong business model... of course, they may be generating revenue beyond AdSense.
The way to make the money would be to have a free blog hosting site. Place your adsense ads on everyones site, just as you would your own, and have them do all the leg work and build the traffic for you. Since it is adsense, it will be relevant to the content.
It is kinda like a free web host on steroids.
The problem with free web hosting is that your market is people who know how to make web pages who do not want to pay for hosting so badly, or they cannot afford it, that they get a free web site. That crowd is quite limited. Most likely, they are not any good at web tasks, and that is why they will not spend the money. Also, if they are good, they will move on soon.
With 'blogs, you open your audience up to about 90% of the Internet. So, it sounds great. If I had $10K sitting around, I would do it. I used to run a free web hosting site, I know what it takes...

Pick the right niche ... one that was very targetted by people who NEED answers (IE looking for lawyers, cancer) AND was a high paying adsense keyword.
Yep, very doable.

Time to start getting serious about blogging!

I read an article on JenSense about Weblogs, Inc. They certainly do have other revenue besides AdSense. Also, they have affiliate networks approaching them. Weblogs tells them that they have to have a minimum guaranteed CPM of X before they will even give them a trial run.
Out of ten companies, eight told them they were crazy, and two are considering it. I do not see what is crazy about it. These companies are approaching them... they must be attractive.
They think that is the way it will start going for medium to large sites with high quality content. I am focusing on my Sambadmin blog, and I will probably start another blog in September. One a month, I say, keeps the bill collectors away. :wink:
