By Anil Agarwal| In Make Money Online|Last Updated : January 8, 2017

Bloggers income report is one of my favorite things. Whenever I stumble


upon various blogs, I always search for income reports to find out their income
sources.

And I know, many people are as interested as me to find out the income reports of
other bloggers. After all, we all are really curious about knowing others income
streams, it gives us enough boost to take blogging as a challenge to make some real
money online.

If youve been searching for bloggers income report, dont search anywhere else on
the Internet, I made this guide a one stop place to figure out others bloggers income
reports. So bookmark the post and share it with your friends to know how much fun
it is to make money blogging.

Making money online and generating a residual income stream is what many full
time bloggers strive for. Even though these bloggers are figuring out how to handle
withholding allowances, as well as keeping accurate accounting records, the residual
income can be (and often is) quite substantial.

There are stories about bloggers making six figure incomes and it is but natural to be
curious about who is making how much and what the sources of income are. In this
post we will cover few such bloggers who are making a decent amount of money
online and also go behind the scenes to see who is running the show and what his
website parameters are. The details of latest income reports will also be listed.

The format followed is introduction of the blogger, the vital statistics of his
blog and the earnings report.

While concluding the post we will analyze the data and present some
interesting facts, which we hope will be immensely beneficial for any blogger who
wants to earn his living online.

doing what I love. I want to build a substantial passive income that can fund both
my future and my passions. Plenty of people make money online after all. So as of
April 2012, I registered my business and embarked on a unique journey to become
successful online. This blog exists to share experiences, knowledge, advice,
achievements, and failures. Im trying to be very transparent in what I share.

Analysis Of Top Blogger Income Reports And


Conclusion
The above listed data can prove quite exhaustive to blog readers accustomed to read
short or middle length posts. But the lack of such information which provides both
the income reports along with SEO and social parameters was difficult to find at least
for our team so we decided to do it. This post will help bloggers understand and
calibrate their SEO and social parameters along with the different sources bloggers
use to make money online. Listed below are few important takeaways from this post:

Adsense The Googles lucrative contextual advertising program, which used


to be a big source of income for bloggers is not the major source of income as of now.
Though there are some blogger whose main source of income is adsense, but most of
them are looking and focusing on other avenues. The low ROI on adsense ads and the
constant fear of getting banned might be some of the reasons.

Affiliate marketing is one of the biggest source of income for a majority of


these bloggers. And if we dissect it a layer further, we find that web hosting, website
plugins, themes and website tools form a lions share of this affiliate income.
Barring a few most of the blogger have mechanisms in place to built a double
opt in email list to which they can send further promotional offers. Ebooks,
newsletters, tips, how to guides, freebies etc. are the most popular methods of getting
people to subscribe.

Social connections are becoming increasingly important in getting bigger


paychecks. As you can see from the above data the bloggers with a better presence on
Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and other social media platforms are having better
earnings.

The frequency of posting of successful money making blogger vary between 5


posts per month to 30 posts per month but the bloggers which post around 5-10
posts per month and make their post authoritative by researching well both about the
niche and focusing on the right keywords are getting better traction. I also noted
that, few of these bloggers are not at all consistent with their posting schedule, but
they are still trying to get massive amount of traffic from search engines to increase
their passive income.

Most of the bloggers above are doing it full time (well almost and they are
enjoying it too) and many of them were forced to get into blogging as they landed
into financial doldrums or had an intense desire to quit the office cubicle and a 9-5
regular work.

Many of these successful bloggers are not relying on just a single website but
have multiple niche websites and some are also a part of blog network which brings
in another level of security just in case one of the sites is not working.

These bloggers are well connected with other bloggers in their own respective
niche and often collaborate and harness each others strengths to generate new
revenue models.

These bloggers are constantly looking for new affiliate models and products
and are not reluctant to try new things even if they have to pay for it. Failing fast and
a keen eye on trying new things helps them stay ahead of the crowd. And most of
them are offering either consulting or selling digital products to make more money
from their sites. You must need to consider doing this as well if youre aiming at
making such amount of huge income from your blogs every month.

All of these blogger have invested in getting a professional look to their blogs
and their designs, unique voice, techniques are all regularly tested and many of them
do a lot of A/B and multivariate testing to improve on their existing designs and get
the maximum out of their investments. We all know the importance of having a
professional design, so if you want to make money like these bloggers, invest your
time and money on getting an appealing design for your blogs. Id personally
recommend you to use Genesis or Thesis as they both are search engine friendly and
great looking themes.
