Part 1. How Much Do Bloggers Really Make? (Thousands of Bloggers Surveyed!)
Part 2. 50 Blog Income Reports: From $2,000 to $1,000,000 a Month (Cheatsheet Included!)
Are you curious about how much money other bloggers are making?
Well, you’re at the right place. Welcome to the ultimate round-up of income reports you will find on the internet.
It took me weeks of research to get this blog post up. You’re not going to find a more comprehensive collection of income reports anywhere else. 😉
You can earn an income without blogging about marketing
In a recent post talking about how much do bloggers really make, and we discovered why it was so difficult to find income reports from bloggers in non-marketing niches.
They simply have no incentive to be parading their income online. When you’re blogging about plants, for example, nobody really cares about how much you make from the website.
Well, good news! I have taken pains to only feature blogs who are NOT in my niche (want to find your dream niche?), to show you that you don’t have to blog about blogging if you want to succeed online.
There’s nothing wrong with being in these niches, especially if you have a background in marketing, but I don’t want anybody thinking that they can’t make anything if they aren’t in a marketing niche.
This one is for everyone else. With the right help and guidance, you can earn an income without selling your soul on a topic that you are passionate about.

It’s been shared over 50,000 times and has helped thousands of new bloggers like you start successful blogs. It’s not that hard. You can do it! I’ll guide you.
What about me? Do I publish income reports?
I do earn a pretty good full-time income from this website and business.
As of now, I do not publish income reports on this site.
Many income reports aren’t really helpful beyond a short-lived “I can do this, so can you” motivational push – I prefer that my readers purchase from me AFTER giving them valuable content or consuming my free courses.
That being said, I do acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with providing motivation to people. I’ve seen plenty of income reports that inspire and spur people to take action on their business. And if you’ve been around here for awhile, you would know that I’m all about the action. 😉
Hence, I may publish income reports in the future. Who knows. We shall see. Maybe if I have some extra time.
Online Income Report Definition:
A report of sales (and sometimes profits) online by a blogger or online entrepreneur, usually to inspire or be accountable to their readers.

This is barely scraping the surface!
There are a ton of extremely successful blogs that don’t share their income. Most of my coaching and course students aren’t from niches that are related to marketing.
For every niche, there are countless successful bloggers absolutely killing it in the niche.
Here’s an example to illustrate. If you’re in the personal development niche, here are just a few 5 or 6-figure (if not 7-figure) businesses. They don’t report an income but if you follow them closely enough, you would know that they have been working on their blogs full-time for years and are very successful.
The list goes on 🙂
Summary
I hope that this post has motivated you to start your own blog!
So if you ever hear another blogger going like, “Only bloggers who talk about blogging can earn money”, you totally have to send them this post to help them!
