13% of ProBlogger Readers Own 10 or More Blogs
This week’s poll of the week has certainly produced some interesting results.
The question was ‘How Many Blogs Do You Own?’
Here’s the results in graphical form.
The results surprised me a little. For starters it’s the biggest response I’ve ever had to a poll with 940 responses so far. I’m tempted to leave it up until we reach 1000 (just because I’d like to see it tick over into 4 figures) but won’t indulge myself and will start another poll shortly.
Getting on to the actual results of the poll:
I’m not really that surprised that the biggest category was people responding by saying that they owned only 1 blog (32% of respondents). The shape of the graph is fairly predictable in some senses although I was a little taken a back by the 10+ category. 13% of respondents have more than 10 blogs. Over 1 in 10 of you are doing some heavy levels of blogging (of course this is if you’re keeping them all up to date)! I suspect this number is higher than what we’d find in a similar survey across the whole blogosphere as one strategy that many bloggers attempting to make a living from blogging use is multiple blogs.
The vast majority of ProBlogger.net readers however are blogging with less than 10 blogs. 66% have 3 blogs or less, 75% have 4 blogs or less and 80% have 5 blogs or less.
update: thanks to the numerous people who suggested a ‘0′ blogs category. I know of a few people who would have voted this way – it was an oversite that I made in setting up the poll and I didn’t realise until several hundred votes were already cast. My apologies – next time I’ll add such a category.

I fall into the 2 blog category, but I hope to add 2-3 more in the next few months. I am also suprised by the 10+ but more so that more bloggers don’t fall in the 4-7 categories. I figured more people would have been in the middle range.
Nice poll! It is good to see you recieved so many results. I tried posting a poll once… What a failure.

yeah polls definately work best when you’ve got a good level of readership to start with and can be a bit embarressing when you have five responses and three of them are you from different computers/IP adresses – I think we’ve all been there.

As you pointed out .. it’s not suprising to me – as I would expect your type of audience to be more geared to making money with blogging and thus having more blogs on the go .. I must say that I am more interested in your current poll .. where it’s currently at 256 votes .. 21% claim to make over $500 per month and of that figure 5% over $5,000 per month ..(I’m in the bottom 60%)
