I make money on and offline. It is best to use both. One is more passive than the other. It has more to do with your mindset. Great poll man.

You have a pretty nice list of online money making ideas. Although your chart shows that bloggers still slightly outnumber non-bloggers.

I have been trying to make money for about 6 months now on my blog and seem to be failing miserably even though I have paid for training programs and followed them exactly. I do do however make money from one of my websites from students locally and if you would like to see it please go to Millionaireanonymous.com

There are several ways to earn money online, and while some may be more effective than others, each of the poll respondents seem to indicate a unique preference for blog monetization. This is very interesting! Thank you for posting the poll results!

what ever might be the poll results, blogging is one of the source to make money online. But it is not every thing. There are many other ways to do it.

Market research is a big one for me, and can work as long as you are signed up with the right people.

Thanks for sharing the results! Some interesting ideas here.

One thing I’d be interested in is how much of people’s TOTAL income is made online versus “day jobs.” Your poll results could take on a different spin if say people only earned 10% of their income from online sources, versus those who earn 100% of their income online.

Part-time onliners presumably wouldn’t have as much time to spend on multiple income streams, and a blog is pretty easy to set up and run. So that could skew your numbers.

We make additional income by doing online surveys. And yes, there actually ARE legitimate online paid survey companies out there, that send real checks. (We have even posted some pictures of the checks received in the past!) There are links to some of our favorite online survey sites on our blog at http://engineeradebtfreelife.blogspot.com/ (it’s in the legit paid survey section)

I also do some freelance writing on a national website.

I make money by building websites and I use craigslist to find clients when I’m running low on work. However I also have a full time job and this creates a problem finding time to blog and run a website while doing all these things.

Good info
Good to know that I am not the only one who has to count on ebay, ebooks and other ways to cash in other than blogging. :)

This is surprising to me. I would think more bloggers would be making money in one of those other sources.

Here people thinks that their blogs can be main source of money, but there are a lot of people who thinks that blog is good marketing tool and they can to market their new projects, web sites, wordpress themes, e-books and another products with blog.

For those people who are making money without blogging, how are you driving sales to your other enterprises. I personally use a couple of blogs not only to make money directly, but to also drive sales offsite, such as image prints etc through a third party company.

In this regard I’m still using blogging indirectly to point visitors to the relevant content.

If you are not driving traffic to your ebook / affiliate program using a blog, what mechanisms are you using?

I can understand some of the points in Darren’s list couple be driven from forums or static websites, but a few would appear to need blogging as a driver to get results.

Be interested to see a break down of how that 49.78% market their products/knowledge to the masses.

I would love to see the ways that non-blogging sources can generate money, thanks. T
