Is Blogging A Viable Source of Income

Can blogging really earn you enough passive income such that you can work from home?

Let me explore the possibility today.

Take for example a blog that gets 500 page impressions with a click through rate of 1%. That will be 5 clicks for 100 pages impressions. Assuming that each click is only worth $0.20, the blogger will only be earning $1 per blog per day.

If the blogger somehow manages to increase his readership to 50,000 regular readers a day, that translates into a hundred fold increase in clicks and a hundred fold increase in earnings.

The expected amount he will be able to earn will be $100 per day.

However, one must understand that the possibility of creating a blog with 50,000 readers a day is very low. Thus, it is seriously unlikely that any blogger can achieve that within weeks if not months.

The best option is for one to slowly build up their blog over time and see whether they can get the results that they hope for.

Blogging for money is not as easy as it sounds and we should not be deceived by what we read on the net.

Just because somebody has done it and makes a 6 figure income from it does not mean that it is an easy task.

It most probably is much more difficult than you think.

One of the best ways to make money blogging is via your own product or service. If you have an obtainable business, on or off-line, it will definitely benefit from a blog. Not only can you keep your customers better well-versed, more easily and more cheaply than other methods but it's likely you will also benefit from better search engine rankings.
