Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007
FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K...
by Paula Neal MooneyThe time has come.
The time is now.
Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?!
(Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.)
My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update.
It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes.
How Much Do You Make?Money is funny.
The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention.
While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book.
Suze encourages people to talk about, compare numbers and inspire growth in each other by speaking openly about their earnings in order to improve them -- and freely admits that she made around $3 - $5 million last year from freelancing.
In the web world, Yaro Starak tended to agree with my philosophy:
"All I can say about this is that it pays to talk about how much money you make online if you want exposure."
Here, here!
Remember all that attention ShoeMoney got when he posted a pic of his $130-something thousand Adsense check? Nuff said.
What is considered income?
While some are strict to cut out any earnings besides the obvious blog ads and such, others consider all the swag and online services part and parcel of their webmastering or blogging booty.
Like Steve Pavlina put it when discussing his wife Erin's income earned thru readings:
"This is interesting because her blog doesn’t generate income directly, but she earns this income because of her blog."
Get Me Robert Scoble's Income!
You'll notice some people have fallen off this list, including Jason Calacanis (formerly of Weblogs, now of his new web baby Mahalo).
Jason made sure to clarify that the $3,000 per day (equaling $1.095 million annual take) reported by Google was not his solo income, but spread across the network of folks.
Same deal with Tim Flight of GPS Review, who cleared up this article from The Boston Globe stating he made $50K per year.
So those guys are gone till I can get some hard numbers.
And you won't find heavy hitters like Robert Scoble on the list...that is, till one of you blessed readers leaves a comment with a link to a valid reporting of his income.
Enough teasing, here you go:

Whew!
Who knows when the next time I'll be all juiced-up to stay up a lot and greet the pinkish dawn and create the next list of webpreneur salaries, so sign up for free email updates so you won't miss it.
And if you're not on this one, leave me a comment with the link to your income.
You just may appear on the next...
Do your thang:
Read my product reviews for male shapewear like Spanx and for the new Spanx swimming suits and bathing suits for Spanx and the Spanx swimwear line on Amazon.
Comments
Never thought there were a lots of successful bloggers out there...
Now my target is to be in your list...I wonder when....I'll set a 36 months target....
.24 cents!
I'm on my way towards making it on the list (smile)
peace, Villager
I've made $150 so far. yeah, i'm on my way to becoming rich! LOL
it was from someone who approached me, i should title it: i made money in my sleep.
Next week, I will do some interviews with business owners.
I'd love for folks to stop by. I'm using my journalism background to develop original content.
Thanks for your blog.
J. Buckenmeyer
Okay, I had 13 visitors and one 1 click but that's appx 7% . . .
I've also learned how long it takes the ads to change with the themes.
Paula, you had a post where you wrote "why would someone get excited about $500 after working like a Hebrew slave?"
I'm like that . . . I feel encouraged because I'm understanding how the elements of a blog fit together.
If I focus on content and driving traffic, then I believe the money will follow.
Gosh 2: Theanand's avatar is on the forbs list, mine isn't.... yet! :-)
The suspense is killing me :)
--Mr. Grown Up Geek
..
Since May 1st of this year, I have earned $128.90 via affiliates, blogging for money, advertising, PTC's, etc. Thanks so much!
My writing on Associated Content is averaging about $6.50 per article.
My philosophy now is "quality content" and "consistent promotion."
But it's also knowing what your goals are . . . I feel like I'm about ready to launch back into freelance writing - perhaps focusing specifically on writing blogs.
I wonder why noone asked me about the title of my blog..
:)
Great job on the list, i'm glad i made it! :)
Mr. Grown Up Geek
I'm sure they have some cibersquatted site..I mean not real squatters, but that kind of sites without content..that kind of sites that made me choose Nafurai.com as domain because 100% intelligent words are taken by that kind of dumb sites.
On a positive note: they made all smart web2.0 people create those fancy-named web sites. That's the real reason behind strange names like squidd,digg,etc..
Yeah, I want you on the next list -- whenever that is.
With your new http://www.zakiyamani.com/ added to your chemical engineering site, you should be making some money, heh?
Hey Villager Hicks
Your content is so good. You get lots of comments so I know you have dedicated readers.
At least Google is starting to roll in.
You should take a pic with that check and upload it!
You're there, Probloggermom! :-)
No more waiting, no more teasing...

I love your funny writing. Now you'll really "be all up in Google like that!" Wink wink.

Have one for me.
Going back to the Mojave desert any time soon?

Thank you...and yeah, focusing on the content and SEO stuff was crucial for me.
Plus, yeah, the big love of blogging. Even on days when I don't love it...the Lord pushes me thru to the finish line, like today.
Javie
I'm so grateful you responded.
I hope my Babel Fish translated Spanish -- or was it Portugese? -- made sense!

Aren't you glad for that week of work?
And I'm confident my income will pick up. There are so many new doors opening unto me.
I was so amazed by the stuff I learned from these guys and dolls on the list when researching how they make their money.
I'll let you guys know which ones worked and which ones didn't.
Hey...where's your avatar? I hope I put it up...

You got that right!
How's things down in the land of 7 hills?
I haven't back down been there since I spent the day at St. George's Island, then walked across the stage at the Convocation Center to grab my diploma in 1990...
Hi Randy
I'm glad for your interest. Hope you love the list, Mr. Grown Up Geek
Hi Maurizio
Finally!
A link from the woman you've been e-talking to nearly every day, huh?
And I like those top two guys.
It's amazing the stuff I learned from that kind of domaining.
And I didn't even know it was legal!
I'll let you know how it turns out...
Thanks all, I truly appreciate your interest and inspiration.
Paula
I'm still knew, learning the tricks of the trade but generally I have earned through paid blogging at various sites.
I also submitted this blog post in Digg.
Thanks for your hard work, it really pays of in lots of extra visitors I guess? Some Linky Love from me for sure today :-)
My Avatar is the one seen in the comments, the double LL. Also to be seen at:

God Bless!
Thanks again - I am chuffed!!
Thanks so much for the mention of Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007!
And thank you for letting me know about your issue with the videos on my site. Is it just the Paris Hilton video page? I just got an error on that page too.
Or is it the videos loaded in my left sidebar?
And when you say that #42 leads you to #41, is it the "Online Marketing Blog" or "Daily Blogging Tips" source link that leads you to #41, 'cause those are working for me.
You've given a great breakdown on your blog showing how many more of these folks -- especially the top paid ones -- use Wordpress.
It's even more validation for my decision to set up my new Watch Free Episodes site on Wordpress.
And now that this list is out, I can get back to creating more content on that one!
Take care and please shoot me an email to paulanealmooney at gmail dot com when you can.
Thanks,
Paula
Glad you posted your income and glad to have "chuffed" you -- whatever that means!
I just left your site with a comment -- but you're an inspiration as well to those of us working to get out of debt as well.
Take care and thanks for signing up under me,
Paula
I'm so glad you came by my blog -- and thanks for the info.
You are doing well on the monetization front; we could all learn something from you.
You're blog is beautiful and intelligent all at once.
I almost mixed you up with the other Trish from Tricia's Musings, so I'm glad I stopped by.
Okay, THANK YOU SO MUCH for leaving your income.
I'll save it and keep it for the next list of webmaster salaries -- whenever that may be!
Keep checking. I've RSS subscribed to your blog and added you to my Google reader.
Take care and thanks again,
Paula
You're so kind for submitting me to Digg, but the DiggNation has me and plenty of others on Digg.com's Autobury Secret Blacklist...Are you still being banned by automatic burying?
Maybe some day they'll take us off!
Blessings and love,
Paula
Cheers! Billy ;))

I have faved your blog in Technorati.
It did take a lot of time and I was losing heart around day three of creating it, but thank my God Almighty for giving me the strength and inspiration to turn it around.
And thanks for your other great comment on the crazy HelpMyBabyLive.com -- Scam or Abortion Prevention? post.
Hey Hey Blog Paul
Thanks for updating your linky love and spreading some to me!
Mom of 3
Hi there.
Thanks for favoring me.
I'd better go run that updated version of the program I wrote about in Automatically Add Technorati Favorites...and Other Ways to Crack Technorati's Top 100 Popular Blogs and see if it still works so I can favor everybody back!
Cheers, Billy Warhol!
Thank you for your support.
Sarakastic
Yes, I've learned a lot just from reading thru all these other articles and blogs.
I believe most of it starts with a passion for what you write.
And I'm still intrigued by these domainers at the top.
Check back for my experience in delving into that.
Sorry, Kenric
I should have put you in the place of the ones that I hadn't received final numbers for yet.
For some reason I was stuck on making the list of random webmasters at 120 this time.
Who knows how long it'll be next time?
But hopefully you'll be on that one.
Randa
Good. I'll keep that info.
Did you all get paid your Google Adsense money yet?
I hope mine is there today.
Thiru
Thanks for the favoring, I'll run that Technorati thingee I mentioned above, since I haven't run it in a while. Sorry!
Then hopefully all my favorites will be reciprocated today.
Take care and thanks,
Paula
Thanks for an interesting read. I need to learn from these gurus on how o generate passive income from my blog!
Chris from Blog Me Famous
A few things to point out - you only included one source of income for me, so you've got my earnings way off.
Secondly, you're stealing bandwidth by hotlinking my photo, as well as all of the others here. So you shared link love, but stole bandwidth. So not cool!
And please note that I had no idea about bandwidth when only linking to SOME of the photos above, not all.
I'm thankful and grateful for all the people who've written me and appreciate the exposure this list has brought them -- as well as a free link from a PageRank 5 site that many people pay money to receive.
So thank you to you folks.
I hope I am on your next list but I hope to make further to the top by the end of the year.
Thanks for all of the info.
I needed some inspiration.

So how long before we see you in the top 10?? :)

I have just started actively blogging for the past less than 3 months (which I have to admit that sometimes I haven't got time to update my blog for more than a week - shame on me). Anyway, I'll be receiving my adsense $$ soon as I have reached $100 plus thanks to tips I got from sites like yours!
:)

Online Data Entry Jobs
ps: I have a few blogs but only 3 are generating $$ for me.
I found the following info Shoemoney reported about his income on August 28, 2006:
"...the begining of the year was pretty good but this summer has sucked.
"for the year profit wise (gross minus spend) im averaging 200k/month with azoogleads, 80k/month with cj.com, another 100k/mo combination of linkshare/cpaempire and xy7."
"Summers always suck tho... I literally did 500k the first 2 months of this year with azoogleads ringtone ads alone. (which is what inspired the Revenue Magazine article) It was really sweet. To bad that was short lived.
"Ringtones also look to be fading a little but still by far the best roi I have found."
Wow!
So going by Shoemoney's report of his own $380,000 per month "gross minus spend" profit, he's pulling down around $4.56 million a year!
Okay, he's definitely moving up on my list.
Thanks bunches, again.
Hat tip. Curtsey. Everything.
Paula
My site is quite new so I guess I'm not allowed on the list :(
anyways...thanks for the kind comment on my site the other day.

I've been reading more of your blog then I had before. You're an amazing woman! Been a lot of places, seen a lot of things! You'll never run shy of content will you?
And just for the record, I'd like to say that I think some people could be a little bit nicer. :D
I appreciate the corrected info and will keep it for the update.
And thanks for subscribing!
Hi Davin - No problem. I'm sure you'll be here soon...
How to start a clothing line from scratch
Thanks for the info. I'll check Shoemoney's site. I'm on there nearly every day.
(That's a useful blog of yours, by the way. I have family who have their own clothing line.)

I made $23.17 off Google Adsense last year!
Do we update ourselves when the next month is there?
If yes, the new income is $131.91 only, so my strategy is like what you are inspiring: learn from the ones on the list :-)

Who knew those "Go Fug Yourself" women could make so much money off a typepad domain -- and that they're so pretty?
Who knew Darren Rowse was a minister?
Who knew the famous ShoeMoney pic would make it this far?
Fascinating...simply fascinating...
That was a cool effort dear..
Add him to your next list.
It's very encouraging and inspires me to do more!
Good thing you don't count b5 bloggers, as they'd dominate the bottom half of the list ;-)
Could you add me, with a $1428 annual, which is my current projection?
thanks,
gabouy
Hey Gabo - Not sure when I'll do another list, but thanks for the info just the same.
Paula
Yes -- I noticed, and thank you so much for coming back!

FreeTipsandWits.com made this much:
"Below are my top money makers from January to July 2007. I started some of them only in the middle of the period:
Resell Rights Packs - $3,228.00
Adsense - $2,833.53
Commission Junction - $329.92
Kontera - $207.34
5 Pillar - $292.13
MaxBounty - $39.65
AuctionAds - $27.35"
It's near the bottom but at least I would be on the list.
I finally got to my $100 for this month (August) so anything I make for the rest of the month will be icing on the cake!
Give us mere mortal bloggers something to aim for!
Keep up your good work Paula.

This is nothing but truly inspirational.
Particularly encouraging is the guy with the Automotive blog. It gives lil ole me a bit of hope (even though I'm under no illusion that it'll take time).
It's been over a year since this list was posted up. It would be interesting to see how the people on the list are doing now.
take care...
I'm seriously thinking and praying over what to do next...
wow that's a great earning, congratz! I really would like to try Payperpost but sadly my application always get declined even though i have followed their procedures.
Well i guest i should trying Forex Trading when i have enough knowledge because this is the only program that curious me most of the time
I must say that these figures are both inspirational and really annoyingly discouraging at the same time....
Now I had heard of some of these guys raking in millions of dollars but seriously I am more interested in ppl who are making a good decent living of 100K+ a year ... this is truly sweet :)
I guess talking about money breeds more of it later on. :-)
Regards,
Khairul
I am reading and learning, but my main blog is now over a year old and my traffic and above all my earnings are still far below what I had hoped for by this time.
Still, these figures are goals to try and reach over the next year. If only I could break into the top 50 I would be happy.

I am considering doing a guitar-oriented blog. Have you come across any out (t)here that are doing above $12,000/mo.? I'm having a hard time finding the info. Let me know if you do.
Thanks,
