by Paula Neal Mooney
One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor.
Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.
Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries?
I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reported information about bloggers/webmasters and their revenue. Some are hard-core daily bloggers, some run sites with lots of pageviews but not much written content -- like dating sites.
Be it listed on their own blogs, in articles about them or in the comments section of posts like Google Whores and other places, I tracked down the dollar signs of bloggers/webmasters around the globe.
I even used the Babel Fish Translator to translate info from other languages into English. (A big ol' Queen Liz curtsey to Bonnie Calhoun for this tip.)
For the bean counters...How did Paula calculate the list of blogger salaries?
Whether reported daily, weekly or monthly, I took the income number reported and annualized it to create the below list.
I assumed no growth rate for the annualized salaries, even though some dot com moguls like John Chow are reporting huge growth rates in blogging revenue from March to April 2007.
Since others reported a dip from prior months, I figured assuming a growth rate of 0% would even things out overall. (I did take Intermediate Accounting I and II in college...)
I also took the numbers at face value -- some webmasters list their gross revenue, some net. Others include swag, pay for services, etc. -- all the perks that they wouldn't have gotten if not for blogging.
Who's missing from Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries?
You'll also note that some heavy hitters are missing from the list, like John TP, who isn't yet comfortable with revealing his blogging salary.
Also missing is Kevin Rose, whose estimated $60 million, 18-month-long salary touted on the cover of Business Week was called irresponsible journalism by some, so I'm staying away from folks whose salaries are too hard to quantify until they tell us themselves.
I left off the porn bloggers' filthy lucre. I hope.
Lastly, sploggers -- or, "internet entrepreneurs," as he prefers to be called -- like Andre, whom author Ted Demopoulous shared beers and vodka with at the Hotel Taroy bar in Khanty-Mansiysk, Central Siberia, when interviewing for his book, What No One Ever Tells You About Blogging and Podcasting: Real-Life Advice from 101 People Who Successfully Leverage the Power of the Blogosphere
, are not on the list.
Sploggers or content scrapers akin to Andre that are quietly making a mint on the net don't go around publishing their income.
Who wants to be a dot com millionaire?
Missing dot com moguls that I'd like to see on future updates of Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries are listed in "My Prayer List" section of this Google spreadsheet with all the dirty details of how I arrived at the annualized income on Paula's List of Blogger Salaries.
Here's hoping that the people who don't yet post their income will be included on forthcoming lists, so they can take their rightful place amongst the top earners...

Are you on it? Wanna be?
Leave me a comment with a link to your post documenting your most-recent monthly blogging income. And title or tag your future income postings with "Paula's List of Blogging Salaries" so I'll know you want to be included.
Reading this list and researching other successful bloggers has inspired me endlessly, like Al's list of the most-read feeds on Self Made Minds.
And of course, good bloggers like John Chow lead the way -- he's one who proves he's not in it just for the money, since he donates all his blogging income to divine pursuits.

I don't publish how much I've earned from blogging (I don't include Associated Content because I've never really been sure if that's a blog) is because I haven't actually earned anything. I have some balances pending, but so far, nothing to cash out.
I hope to change that.
Interesting piece!
Very interesting list though and I can now set goals to overtake those ahead of me on the list!
I've noticed your page views jumped dramatically from yesterday to today.
Also, I think Darren Rowse's site on ProBlogging is excellent. There's a great deal to learn from his site - and yours.
I'm honored to make the list.
You happened to find a lower earning month for me, the previous month I was about $400 up :P
Very nice list though, must have taken a while to put together :)
http://mubinahmed.com/my-big-fat-adsense-check/
And a live link in their name place?
SOrry for sounding greedy!!!
Great article btw!
I'm so inspired by these other bloggers and what I learned from researching and creating the list.
Adam - Thanks for hitting me back. I'll update your new and higher salary on the next list.
Mubin - Sorry...I only picked pictures randomly. I'm so glad they fit in the table.
I wanted to get the list finally posted before my Sudafed nighttime pills kicked in. Love 'em!
I'll remember to add your pic on the updated list of "Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster" salaries.
(Yes, always thinking of SEO!)
I found your blog through your comment on Single Ma's Fabulous Financials. Great post - I've Dugg it - and I've added you to my favourites so I can keep up with your good advice.
I'm not on the list :( but I'm only a new blog so I'm hoping that will change!
Cheers,
Rich Minx
Yeah, I love Single Ma's Financials blog too. I couldn't find her blogging income, so I didn't put her on the list, but hopefully the next one.
I love these face-offs!
And thanks for Digging me everybody:Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?
Take care,
Paula
Not that many folks are really making a living at blogging overall.
It also demonstrates that it is not easy. Some of the people on the list are not really known for blogging, but for marketing, or affiliate sales.
Any idea how this Blogger salary list would break down between "How To Make $" Blogs and pure content bloggers?
I can't see this list morphing into many different subcategories:
* Those that are purely webmaster who don't write content
* Those who are salaried and work for sites like Gawker or Weblogs, etc. (and those who are per post)
* And those that are pure content writers...
It could go on and on!
You and others have mentioned switching your platform to Wordpress. I'm going to do it too. Just haven't decided when.
When I make the switch to a new platform and my actual domain name will that affect my rankings? In other words can my current Technorati rankings transfer to my new domain name or will the new domain have to start from the bottom and earn its own ranking reputation?
For those of you who are already earning income, would changing to your own domain name (for example, separate from your "Blogger.com" site) affect your earnings negatively just because the domain name changed?
Just curious to know while I'm cobbling my master plan together.
That is another great post and I'm glad to Digg it. I can disclose what I've been practicing now for seven years to learn how use the internet to bring glory to God Our Father in Jesus Christ.
It's not about me, but the Desire of Jesus Christ Our Lord, Compassion for Everyone is His Will. Great Day!
www.MoneyMakersUpperRoom.Com/Thought.html
Don't worry, Al, you'll probably drop down as more and more of the heavy-earners realize the benefits to posting their income. It's sort of like putting-your-money-where-your-blogging is: People are more willing to follow folks whose methods are tried and true.
You're right, the point is to transfer the glory...
And Martin, I was just thinking about that same issue with transferring to Word Press.
I'm holding out for these reasons:
1 - My blogspot domain name is nearly two years old and ranked well
2 - Technorati doesn't yet meld the two links. For example, if I buy BIG6YEAROLD.COM or something, and folks start linking to that new domain name and still link to my old blogspot domain name, Technorati counts those links separately.
3 - There is a woman with a blogspot domain name in Technorati's Top 100 blogs.
4 - I could used a redirect and redirect all this blogger stuff to a dot com, but the Google Pagerank would take a long time to follow.
5 - While there are pro to switching to a dot com: More professional in the eyes of the IT community and everywhere -- plus the fact that some ad places just don't accept blogspot URLs -- I'm just not ready to change yet.
I want to, but I'm waiting till the right time till these issues are resolved.
Paula

I can not make a post on my blog about income due to privacy concerns regarding specifics, but I can provide it to you in private. My blog is http://www.jasonberlinsky.com and I will be more than happy to give you details if you would use the Contact form there or send an e-mail to jason [at] jasonberlinsky [dot] com requesting the information.
Jason
Oh, so that's you, Mr. Grown Up Geek. Okay, I read that. I understand that some folks don't want to reveal their earnings.
Yeah, I should've titled it "Paula's List of Bloggers, Webmasters, Those-Who-Don't-Blog-But-Run-a-Dot-Com-
and-Still-Post-Their-Income-Numbers or Anywhere in Between..."
Jason - Your site amazed me.
And thanks for the kind words, Rose.
Anonymous, thanks for the Manolo tip.
And thank you, Rob, for leading me to Darren's archives for more accurate earnings. Think I'll go hunt them down for the updated future version.
My site is ThoughtsFromMyLife.com.
http://adsense-tw.com/archives/343
The page is in Chinese but I would like to tell you that I have earned 1840 from Jan. to March.

This is the first time I've read your blog. What I like about it is how you ask people to Digg the article, subscribe to your feed, and leave comments. You aren't subtle, and I think that's great. I'll try to follow your lead. Here goes: go to my site and comment! And while you're at it, Digg an article. Heck...look for the Donation button and send me a couple of dollars! :)
Nice to meet you. Love the content I've read so far.
Heres my april income and im targetting 300+ this month
http://skiper.pinoyanswers.com/online-earnings-for-the-month-of-april-2007/
You have quoted me with the wrong earnings instead picking up one of my guest bloggers.
My earnings are currently averaging $6000 a month,
thanks
WN.

Great job!
When we talk about Blogger earnings, is it general or only earnings received from blogging? In Markus Frind's case for example, plentyoffish.com probably generates most of this revenue no? And it's a dating service not really a blog.
I was just curious how 'blogger' was defined.
You can add me to future lists if you want.
http://www.underdown.org/report_2007.htm
and
http://www.underdown.org/report_2006.htm
http://labnol.blogspot.com/
Some are true bloggers that write content and such, while others are webmasters who run their own domains along with Google ads and such -- like the dating sites, etc.
I was pretty much throwing in any and everybody who posted their revenue.
And thanks for all the links to other folks I missed!
They'll appear on the next Paula's List of Blogger/Webmaster Salaries ...WHEN THIS MAKES DIGG'S FRONT PAGE, LORD WILLING, WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE GRAB A SCREENSHOT FOR ME? THANKS! -- I'm thinking of doing this update monthly. It'll take me that long to track and verify all these incomes!
And thank you, too, Anonymous!
All this time I've been thinking Kumiko was a girl! Anyone have his real pic?
Paula
I've only bin blogging 10 weeks and was interested in revenues.
Thanks
Perhaps you would comment on the following?
Website - income - Alexa rank.
Free web layouts - $1.2 million - Alexa rank 4,308.
Weblogs - $1.1 million - Alexa rank 18,120.
Shoemoney - $120k - Alexa rank 1790.
GPS review - $50k - Alexa rank 156,383.
Paula Mooney - $12k - Alexa rank 167,732.
CB Trends - $8k - Alexa rank 29,504.
There is no consistency here what so ever.
Either Alexa is no predictor of revenue (Which it is not desogned to be) or the revenue estimates are poorly reported by the earner.
Or - various bloggers are missing out on potential revenue that could be earned by their higher traffic.
Or, some other reason.
Excellent post. I hadn't even heard of the first five. I was surprised to see Problogger way down at 15, also no mention of TechCrunch ? Lots of stuff and ideas to dig into!
Vic
A susbidiary comment. No. 46 seems to be wrong somewhere as you have got him as earning $86,000 which should put him higher.
Vic
What do you think?
Anyways I was going to say what Talia said....gossip bloggers are making bank. Perez pulls in $30k per ad, and then there's JustJared.com, Pink Is The New Blog, Hollywood Tuna, The Superficial just to name the biggest ones.
Don't forget fashion bloggers either. Especially those in the Glam Network because they pay 20-50c per click.
Last month was actually my best month. I made atleast $1500 not including swag or AC. My blogs aren't all that popular either.
Great work, still!
So here are the responses I owe all you lovely people!
* Yeah, derek, you’re not at the very end! ;)
* Donbizblogger - Yes, pageviews are at 10,000 and counting for the last 36 hours!
* Kenric it’s an honor to have you on the list.
* Adam Dempsey you are welcome, next month, higher higher salaries!
* Mubin I will look for your pic at http://mubinahmed.com/my-big-fat-adsense-check/ and live link to you in the name place.
* AgentSully my Digg team member. I’ll play around on Digg this weekend or so…
* Rich Minx – Thanks again for your Digg. Hope to add you to my next list.
* Benjamin Jones- Entrepreneur Guide – Yes, it took a few days. And now I’m so grateful to the Lord that the work is paying off. Look at all those backlinks!
*Digital Nomad – Yeah, and I forgot to add this quote I found:
“The term weblog was coined in 1997, shortened to the word blog in 1999, and has been mainstream for at least five years, according to research firm PQ Media LLC. As the number of blogs has exploded to more than 57 million today, the blog ad marketplace has also surged -- from $100,000 in 2002, to an estimated $36.2 million in 2006, according to PQ Media. Blog advertising is expected to grow to $300.4 million in 2010.”
So you’re right, there is lots of room to grow the market. And somebody is collecting all that ad revenue! It’s good to see a breakdown of how it all plays out…
*Harry L – Sometimes I think that, too, about the Gold Rush implications. Especially in the case of people buying $47 (or $97) ebooks left and right, hoping to get rich. At least I feel good promoting the free sites – like Associated Content. I like the ones where we only make money if our referrers make money, and so on. So no harm, no foul…
I believe this list will be the springboard for many, many more detailed lists, broken down by pure content writers, dating site webmaster salaries, social networking site CEO salaries, etc.
* MenthiX – Did you give me your domain name?
* Al Carlton – Yes, again, you’re only #11 for now because these are the only people I found who posted their salary. It’ll be interesting to see what number you are on the next, and then work your way back up…
*Martin Lindsey. – You, along with TD Jakes and Sunny Ellis have inspired more than you know these last couple of days. I just bought my dot com domain name. Look for changes! You’re making me an actionist too!
* Jim.Legington – Thanks Jim, again, for standing in the name of God Our Father in Jesus Christ. You are a blessing to us all.
www.MoneyMakersUpperRoom.Com/Thought.html
* BillyWarhol – That’s the spirit, keep-a-blogging and following your bliss. The real prosperity will continue, be it money, health, wealth, happiness, and all that good stuff.
* Matt @ NetBusinessBlog.com – Glad to have you on the list.
* Rod I’m coming back to Alex’s site to read some more…http://alex-roadtofreedom.blogspot.com
* kweenkong – Hey Kween. Thanks again for the Digg. Find out any more about Robin Thicke coming to The Riv in Chicago? Did you get your tickets yet?
* Jason – I seriously appreciate you clearing up my error of Weblogs, Inc. making $100k a month from Google Adsense – not you personally. I will correct this in the future list.
* rob from this site – no problemo. This is fun. I’ll have to hunt thru ProBlogger’s old posts to find a tighter and more accurate range. Thanks for the heads up once more.
* David – Okay, you’re on my next list, once I hunt down your income in the Money Blog Forums. God bless you.
* Anonymous – Thanks once more for hipping me to another six-figure blogger, Manolo the Shoeblogger at

Now that you mention it, I believe I’ve read about Manolo the ShoeBlogger before.
*John Bokma – Is the over $700 USD per month from AdSense your sole blogging revenue? I will make sure to add http://johnbokma.com/ with your 15,000 daily visitors to my favorites. And I’m always grateful to gain SEO advice. Talk to you soon. Thanks.
* Financial Imbalance thanks for calling it interesting. As more and more people give me details regarding their blogging/webmastering income, I pray the list becomes more and more accurate – a catalyst for many lists like this to come. There’s a reason that Forbes list is so popular! Billionaires actually call to find out if their on the list each year.

*Rose - Yes, just researching this list inspired me so much to take new directions in my online career.

* Neo – It is an inspiration to see how the top earners do it, so we can follow. The honest ones, that is. Teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime…
* Anonymous – Now that I know Kumiko pic is a fake, I’ll size it down next list.
* Working Nomad – Wow $6000 a month! And I love your stuff. Your quote about being able to work anywhere really gave me food for thought. Or food for blog, should I say.

* Raviratlami – I appreciate you letting me know about India's ace blogger Amit Agrawal? I’m head over to http://labnol.blogspot.com/ to check him out.
* Sparrow – Yes, Alexa is a mystery of much concern to folks. There is controversy over their reporting and rank. Google it, you’ll see.
* Investalot – Vic - Yeah, does Michael Arrington post his income anywhere? I’m wondering that too…and I’ll investigate No. 46 s
* Talia Mana – Perez Hilton and some of those others are on my prayer list. Do you know his income? Thanks!

* Vishal Thanks for the Labnol.Blogspot.Com heads up. I’ll look for the income.
PLEASE DIGG THIS POST FOR ME EVERYONE. AND THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL LINKS AND COMMENTS!
My website (http://deadzoners.blogspot.com/) is ranked 110k on Alexa. I'm still struggling with earning money online. I did earn much with the advertisement on the site now (which is Adbrite). Can you show me some tips to promote my site, or some other ads-network to try, or some ideas that may apply to my case?
I'm contactable through deadzoners {at} gmail.com
Thanks alot.
Teddy.
It gave me yet another goalline. I will work to be on this list too.
I bet all these people worked really hard to get there.
My monthly income fluctuates from month to month, but it's generally in the 2-5k range.
It comes from a variety of sites, blogs, etc.
You can find a few screenshots here, as well as in the ebook if you subscribe to get the download link:
http://onwebapps.com/free-e-book/
Great list!
Requested earnings link : http://www.linkylove.net/make-money-online-add-your-link-exchange-2007-05-11/its-earnings-that-count.html
I'll check BlogAds.com to lust and dream...
Theo -
Yes, I wanted to grab a snapshot of all the income numbers I found -- like the Parad magazine piece does.
It's interesting to focus on both the rich and the everyday blogger increasing their income numbers.
J.J. -
Dynomite! (I guess you hear that a lot)
Go thru my Helping Blogger Make Moneyseries of posts, read my experiences with other program and sign up for the ones that strike your fancy. Then experiment around and let me know how that works.
Teddy -
Let me know your income post link! Guess I'll just follow your named link to start and see what I can find.
Marc Angel -
What an angel you are for your angelic comments. I'm glad the God-given list is already inspiring other lists.
Fabian -
¡La alabanza esté al dios solamente! ¡Le estoy rogando hago la lista siguiente de Paula de sueldos del blogger también!
Thanks to Babel translator I can speak so many languages now!
payok.com -
Sure, you can add it, just make sure to keep the links live that link back here. Thank you for even asking, some people don't.
Dennis Bjørn Petersen -
Yes. Hey -- you've got an interesting o in your Bjørn name. I'm learning so much about other languages thanks to all these international comments!
The Almighty granted me the vision that seeing our incomes annualized would give us all goals to know where we're going.
Shanti Braford -
Good deal, $2 - 5k per month? I'm head over to your sites to find out how! And I plan to download your ebook at http://onwebapps.com/free-e-book/ ASAP!
Linky Love -
$24.81 per for the first month with Adsense, Creamaid, Smorty and Bloggerwave? Okay, got it!
I don't think I'd ever heard of Smorty and Bloggerware, so I'd better check those out.
And I've got http://www.linkylove.net/make-money-online-add-your-link-exchange-2007-05-11/its-earnings-that-count.html as your Paula's List Source link. Thanks!
Free Ad Lists-
God bless you and thanks for the Digg! It's really climbing now. Should be on that front page and made popular in no time.
Take care all and much love in Christ,
Paula
Good for you and your 250 bucks! I pray it grows and grows as the Lord wills it to...
Don't forget to tag your next income postings with "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries" so I can easily find you for the next update.
Hi Svend-
I can't help but think of that Swedish chef muppet when I type your name...(Yer de smer de smer..Do you remember the muppets?)
Anyhow, I just created the list -- and I grabbed the most current info I could find on blogger/webmaster salaries.
I did due diligence to link to reliable sources, so if you click the "Paula's List Source" next to each entry, you'll find further info on where I got the numbers and what date they were reported.
Since you "recognize some of the people on there but also know that they make more than that currently," PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE lead me to a link (leave it right here in the comments section) that states reliable reporting of their more current income, by all means!
I plan to update this list monthly, so check back for the next one around Juneteeth, or June 19, 2007.
But in case the Spirit moves me to update sooner than that, which I'm feeling He might, subscribe to my blog so you won't miss it!
I'd like to ad my massive blog network to your list! :p
Here you can check out the stuff from the month of April.
Cheers,
Swollen Pickles.
Love your MASSIVE earnings. (Wink, wink.)
A note to myself:
ADD LISA DIANE'S INCOME TO THE NEXT PAULA'S LIST OF BLOGGER AND WEBMASTER SALARIES, WHOM I LEARNED ABOUT THRU DAYJOBKILLER. LISA DIANE'S SITES EARN HER UP TO $400,000 PER MONTH
I finally got back to your comment to my comment. Yes Michael Arrington mentioned the $150,000 a month in an article to a journalist - there is a link to it here on my very own blog - http://www.netmonetization.com/2007/03/150000-month-from-blog.html
Regards, Vic
That might be a cool tool someone can come up with....blog monetization ranking.
Thank you so much for the kind words, God bless you for your kind heart!
I will be sure to include it in my next income report (if the revenue won't collapse, LOL), did you mean just to link to this post or to the Digg's page, or..? Sorry, I'm just not sure how did you mean to 'tag'. I am a pro as you can tell :D
Take care and keep up the great work!
Liza
Regards,
MattK
The Article Writer
Thanks for reiterating the TechCrunch salary link. Amazing, huh?
Anonymous-
If you click the "Paula's List Source" above next to each salary, you'll find the source that reported the earnings.
And if you click my Google spreadsheet above, you'll get the details on how I annualized the figures.
So, I just popped over to www.linkworth.com -- how much are the bloggers paid over there?
Do you have a link to the top 10 blogger salaries that would blow these off the list?
Do tell, do tell...
I can put you guys on my next list with a good link if you all publish your blogging earnings and revenue.
Hi Liza -
No, I'd better stay away from Digg for a while. I'm on their blacklist!
But seriously folks, yes dear Liza, just place "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries" in the tag section or "labels" section on your blog post -- or, just title your blog post with "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries - My Income for May 2007" or whatever, and hopefully I'll find it.
Now that you've left me a comment, I'll make sure to dig thru all these blogs that have left a comment so that I can include the clean ones that report their income on my next list.
Matthew the Article Writer -
You're an inspiration. I'd better head back over to PayPerPost. I haven't been there in a while. Check for your name on my next list!
Thanks all!
Happy Grey's Anatomy Season Finale Thursday! (Yes, I'm obsessed.)
It seems really hard when first starting out. I don't even make $1 a day yet, and I'm spending hours everyday trying to promote my blog and get more traffic. My page rank is 3, but I hardly get any traffic.
I think I'll look into the "no follow" movement, will this help with traffic or only page rank? I really need more traffic rather than PR.
Yes, even with lots and lots of traffic my Google Adsense account earns only a few bucks some days.
That's why it's so important to diversify and not rely on one source of income thru blogging.
And yes, the DoFollow movement can help with traffic too, because folks searching for DoFollow will find you, and if you join the DoFollow blogroll like this one, those people will come visit your blog and comment, too.
Hey Ronald -
I just visited your blog. Interesting story on Kumiko...now I really want to know who the real Kumiko is!
You've helped me formulate a point for my post today. Thank you.
I just might remove Kumiko's pic next list...
Paula
suray,
http://surayblog.blogspot.com
You can be a part of the next list of blogger and webmaster salaries (coming in June) if you just email me a link to any post where you post your blogging income -- if any.
It doesn't matter how much (or little) you make, I just included every non-porn blogger and webmaster that I could find any income numbers for.
Hey Tallhassee Lassie Huber
How ya been?
"No, you rock!" (I'm saying that the same way Owen Wilson did in some movie playing in my head...)
Suray
"Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!"
That theme song from Oklahoma came to my head when I saw your name.
Peace all,
Paula
http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/2007/05/the-two-hundred-dollar-blogger.html
You crack me up so much; you are now officially on my Google Reader.
"The two-hundred dollar blogger" as opposed to the much-touted six-figure bloggers in the industry. I love it!
Anyway, you should seriously add the beer-money earned via "signups for affiliate schemes such as Text Link Ads and Google Adsense" to your next income numbers as well.
Take care, happy days, and I love your witty writing.
Paula
1) Get a job that pays me that much
2) Blog from work.
Nah, beer money is good enough for me :)
Maybe on the next one....let me keep my income a secret till the time you decide to revise this list a few months from now! ;-)

Anuj - I'm planning to publish the next list of salaries around June 19th, so you'd better post your income before then so I can find it!
Anonymous -
I'll try to follow that link, but it cut off, so make sure to live link your links in the future.
Note to self: Shoemoney writes that Perez Hilton makes over $100,000 per month in advertising. That's over $1.2 million per month! That's over $14.4 million per year!
My goodness! I know who's topping my next list! I wonder how much of that comes off the top for hosting costs, etc.
I know he blogs himself, getting up before dawn to blog at that cafe, so it's not like he's got bloggers blogging for him. Interesting...
Anybody got any more Perez Hilton income details?
Thanks!
Add this Egonitron guy to your next Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries coming in June...
Why thank you, Paula.
You're welcome, Paula!
One minor quibble with your list though, you left off Bootmoney :)
Now where's his post leading to his blogging income? Thanks much, Paula
Colleen $11,751.34
Tricia $9,346.95
Emily $8,513.88
Chan $8,399.64
Brian $7,020.80
Laurie $6,674.17
Deb $6,222.92
Amy $6,202.28
Karen $6,175.13
Justin $6,154.63
This Staska.net guy made over $1,250 in March 2007 in online earnings.
Did you add him to your list already?
I found out about you from Julie Bonner's blog.
The number you reported for my annual income is low. You only guesstimated my Google AdSense income.
As I said at Julie's blog, it is pretty impolite to ask a woman her age - very bad jujumagumbo - so let's be fairly discrete about Internet income.
Suffice it to say that with my current AdSense income (you used data 22 months old), Kontera income, own ad sales, sales of electronic Ebooks and Checklists, and other miscellaneous income, the number you quoted is pretty far off. :-)
But I sure appreciate being on your list! It is indeed an honor!

http://www.AsktheBuilder.com
I've read about you and feel honored, as well, that you stopped on by.
I'll be sure to reiterate the fact that the above list of Blogger/Webmaster Salaries are estimates based on last know income reported, just like Forbes' list of net worths.
Glad to see you're doing even better now, 22 months later.
And you're right about not chasing money, as you commented on Julie Bonner's blog, in her in-depth piece about you.
I believe that reporting the last known income of bloggers/webmasters is wave of the future.
I love blogging and writing -- it is my God-blessed passion -- and I believe He is the one blessing me with favor and the ideas and fortitude to even create posts like this in the first place.
And you're also right, the money is following it.
This is only the tip of the iceberg...
Take care and happy vlogging,
Paula

The next one should come out around Juneteeth -- June 19, 2007.
We'll see what he says...
I saw this list a few weeks ago and have thought about including mine here is the link to my most recent earnings http://veganmomma.com/blog/2007/06/11/how-much-has-opal-made/
I never intended that to be a big money making blog, I don't put ads in "hot spots", but I do recover my hosting fees and make enough money to buy some yarn. (With knitting, the revenue varies during the year. I make more in December and less in June!)
And Anonymous - A big fat thank you to you for letting me know Perez Hilton's income is $800,000 per year, as reported by plenty of websites like this one.
Hey Culebro!
Where's your income?
Think I'll pop over to your blog later.
Thanks all.
Look for the new Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster salaries on June, 19, 2007.

I want to bring the earnings on my blog a this level where these bloggers are standing
I'm still not on the list.
:D
how much are you making right now every month?
I'm thinking of posting my income again at the end of June 2008 -- if you follow the blog posts linked to at the top of my blog under the "how to make money online" link, you'll see more recent figures than this list.
But I still haven't posed income since December 2007, I believe. Or November 2007.
I know other people on these lists are making more now, too.
Check back for updates in July 2008 -- I pray...
thanks, that's very inspire us..
There are lots of people who get on the internet hoping that they will be able to learn how to make money online fast, but most usually without a clue as to where to start.

Just for fun, not for money, maybe this is a right attitude to blogging.

I've recently posted a short listing of bloggers who list out their income reports on my site. You might find the list helpful or useful. The post is here: Encouragement Through Income Reports.
I'm not on your list here, but one day I hope to be worthy of the list. Thanks for the encouragement and information.
I pretty much agree with all your thoughts you said in your post, especially at the end of your article. Thank you, your post is very valuable as always. Keep up the good work! You’ve got +1 more reader of your super blog.
