Blogging for Dollars – Can You Make Money Blogging?

So you’ve heard that bloggers can make tons of money is that true? Well yes and no. Blogging is not right for every web savvy person and in fact not right for every good writer. So what makes a good blogger – one that can make some real money blogging?

1. Typically a blogger who is making a real living is not writing and making money from their own blog. They are making money being employed by a blogging firm that has a client base and they are providing contract writing services as a “for hire” service.

2. The best professional blogger is someone who knows how to budget their time and does not excessively word smith a post. It is impossible to make money blogging if each blog post you write for a client takes one to two hours and you are paid $10 to $15 for the post. If you have a natural writing style, innate grammar skills, and an interesting point of view you may be able to start out as a Junior Level blogger. The key to making money blogging is being able to write the volume needed on a consistent basis in under 20 to thirty minutes a post and then with a volume of five to ten posts a day.

3. Real money is paid to quality bloggers. One of our top bloggers makes from $2,200 to $3,000 a month just blogging. But not every blogger can start out at this level, and for that matter not every established blogger can perform at the level required to make this kind of money day in and day out. But, the best blog writers not only can make great money but can love the flexibility that the job provides. One of our bloggers only writes in the middle of the night. Another only writes on the weekend.
