Yes, Bloggers Can Make A Living!

John Chow of John Chow Dot Com has a great site devoted to, of all things, blogging (and great tips on how to profit from it).

According to his February Income Post, he made $7,000 from this blog!!!

Considering that it only made $352 last September, thats pretty phenomenal. Unlike most bloggers, he doesn't rely on just one source of ad revenue but nine. Here they are in order of income earned:

ReviewMe: $2,250.00
Text Links Ads: $1,162.50
Affiliate Sales: $1,005.00
Google AdSense: $977.60
Vibrant IntelliTXT: $516.98
Direct Ad Sales: $400.00
AdVolcano: $375.00
TTZ Media: $224.17
FeedBurner Ads: $99.80

Just goes to show that with proper marketing and excellent content you can make a decent living from blogging.

He spent about $400 advertising with google ad on Darren Rowse's Problogger Site. Its an interesting strategy where they both advertise on each other's site.

Hopefully, someday I can match that income! Check out his post on Making money from a blog post.

Hopefully, this post will have earned me a free linkback and some traffic too.
