Have you ever wondered how much you could make with your blog? Well, there are many online blogs which make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month however when I think of the ones which do I automatically think of large blogs like Engadget, blogs which have many writers and many people making sure the blog ticks over everyday.
It is very rare for a blogger to get to that level without hiring other people however there are a few exceptions. The most notable one is Perez Hilton, the celebrity gossip blogger who I’m sure you are all aware of.
I was always aware that Perez had huge levels of traffic and consequently a huge amount of income to go with it however I didn’t realise how much until Zac Johnson posted today that Perez is making over $54,000 every day. Read that back and let it sink in : he makes $54,000 every day through his blog. Zac also mentions that Perez does have one employee, his sister. However, when you compare his blog to the other massive blogs on the net I don’t think there are many with just one employee.
Of course, the majority of us will not see such a huge income but it’s a great feat to inspire to and does show you how much can be made from blogging if it is done right 
Thanks for the mention! These numbers are quite unfathomable… but nonetheless, they are real and very motivation! (even if we can only obtain a small portion of these types of numbers)
That means he is making nearly 20 million dollars in one year.
That's cool. I'm pumped if I pull in $20 every couple of months!
All these going-ons in the virtual world, blogging, trafficking, search engine optimization is an industry in itself and there is no stopping all these. It is just getting bigger and the opportunities are endless.
Never really thought about making money from my blog – maybe I should have a rethink!
Perhaps a lot of posting helps:
"Perez Hilton makes on average 24 posts per day day, but can post as many as 40 on a day"
Incredible numbers if true. This is one in a million guys, though. Not trying to burst anyone's bubble but for every Perez Hilton there are millions of …huh non Perez Hilton
- Matt.
The guy works some 18 hours a day, so I think its fair to say he deserves the money.
I've read about him some time back, and here's another bit of info: on peak days, he has got upto 4 million hits in a single day. I wonder if any other blog has such traffic. Makes massive diggs look like peanuts.
Well Ill give it a shot… thanks
I knew you could make money blogging but 54,000$ a day a load of money. Thats almost 20,000,000 a year!
