As one commenter said – it would be interesting to see what everyone is paying to get that income.

We had great growth in October – but along with it came bandwidth. Managed dedicated server is running us about 10% of income. Which I guess is OK

I felt great this month because I was increasing my earnings by 100%. I made $1.62 in September and just over $3 for the month of October. It really gets me down that it is so little, but then I watched one of your video posts about making your blog profitable and staying with it. You mentioned that focusing on the percentage increase in profit rather than the actual amount is what kept you excited about it. Thank you again for that. I don’t think that I would be happy with $3 otherwise. Haha, but this month is going to be at least $6 and then hopefully at least 100% increase every month after that until I am actually making enough to make a living from it.

I started up in September and made $25 my first month and $105 in the second off of Adsense. It took me by surprise because I thought it would take a few more months to breach the $100 a month mark.

There are days where I only make 83 cents however.

Great poll!

Wow! Not a lot of people are making big bucks at blogging!

I only made a few bucks in October. Nothing special. But I’ve always maintained that my blog is more of a hobby right now than anything else. I’d love to go Pro though…

Great post!

Interesting results. I’d like to know the categories of income people have, like Adsense options, BlogHer, direct advertisers, selling products on your site, paid product reviews, etc.

Also what type of website, a product/service focus or bloggish?

LOL thanks for the answer RT. When you said the money from a sale I thought you must have sold a truckload of sports equipment!

Congrats on selling the blog.

“A Question for RT The Fitness Guy…

How did you make $15,000 with only 162 subscribers? That’s pretty impressive!!! I’m sure we’d all like to know how you achieved that…”

Hey mate,

I didn’t make it from that blog. Actually, that blog makes next to nothing. I actually sold a blog as well as making a fair bit from another fitness equipment site that I run.

I was wondering whether anyone was going to ask that!

I did ok in October. This is a new blog so I don’t expect to get over $500/month for a few more months, but you never know.

I just started my blog Oct. 1; so I still haven’t built traffic yet. I just added advertising. I’ll be happy if I make $10 in November. This was a great poll. It lets us know what’s possible.

Wow, I’m impressed by those 19 people in the over $15,000 category. I’m pushing on $15!

Hope I can be there one day…

Okay, I left three comments today and they all have been deleted. I wonder why that would be?

In October I made just under $400 and this was the fourth month in a row that I have had positive gains in my income, which is currently at an all-time high for my relatively new blogs.

Every month I post a recap on my blog indicating how much I have earned and the sources of income. Thus far my highest earning source has been private advertisement deals and I just closed another one for the month of November.
