Yeah but both these guys sell their own books on how to make money blogging...

Good lord, everyone who says it can't be done sure doesn't have the right mind set to even try (and I mean try for more than a week)

If you think it cannot be done then you may as well take off your jersey and hang up your skates because your pretty much finished.

I was thinking the same thing! If you DECIDE to make 7 figures through blogging, it WILL be possible. To me, it sounds like a lot of work and I don't currently have the desire to make that amount, but six figures I believe to be more than doable. And guess what? I'll achieve it, too, just because not achieving it isn't an option so I'll find a way to make it work.

  In life, everything is possible.
  
  It takes the right time and opportunity for products, services or ads to blog seven figure. Every person has his luck cycle in Feng Shui so when the right time and opportunity presents itself, all it takes will be for the person to ACTION for success. Of course it does not mean anyone who simply take action will succeed. As the saying goes: You win some and you lose some. So, not all opportunities are good but without taking your venture, you will not know whether it will be successful or not.

Steve Pavlina has said previously that he wouldn't be making the money that he is making without the blog. In fact I think there was a post a week or two back where he said as much.

He has used the blog to leverage all sorts of income streams, from selling advertising space, selling his book, and even the public speaking aspect. His blog has been used as much as a promotional tool as it has been used to get his ideas out and about.

Is secondary income generated through the blog not a result of the blog? If it is, then yeah, it's fair to say that Steve Pavlina makes 7 figures through his blog.

And, not that I've seen the figures, but I'd guess bloggers like Mike Arrington, Perez Hilton, and a few others make seven plus figures as well.

Seven figures might sound a lot, but it's only $83,333.33 a month. That's $2740 a day.

No chance. At least not from the blog itself. To generate 7 figures you need to either sell your own products or to be a super PPC/CPA/whatever affiliate. I very much doubt a blogger can generate 7 figures per year exclusively off his blog.

Ever heard of Shoemoney? He makes seven figures a year (or damned near close) off of his ONE blog---> Shoemoney.com

It is very possible... And you don't have to be a Super Affiliate to do it. If, over time, you can build reputation and authority with quality content in a popular niche then you'll attract thousands and thousands of unique visitors a day.

Then you can sell ad space to the highest bidders.

It's certainly not easy but YES, it can be done.

Sorry but I think you're a total newb if you think someone can recreate a shoemoney type site. First off shoemoney doesn't make 7 figures from shoemoney.com. It's well known he made his killing through PPC and is a Super Affiliate.

As someone else said earlier in this thread, he cashed in with a dose of good luck at the right time.

He's lucky to be at the top of the IM Blog pyramid and trying to do what he does is a waste of time.

There are ways to make 7 figures in IM, but please dont buy into shoemoney hype.

Pavlina's blog was already successful even before he wrote the book. He even got rid of AdSense (it was making him BIG money). He also sold affiliate stuff ( like Site Build It software and other stuff..). He isn't making money off of speaking. He is probably one of the first to give away best stuff for free.. that's why he got loads of traffic. And he wouldn't be know at all probably if not his blog...

I think you raise an important distinction here, and one that I've been thinking a lot about recently. As someone who controls a number of blogs, I think that yes, it would be possible for me to hit a 6 figure income strictly through affiliate sales and advertising on my network of blogs.

But I don't really consider myself a "blogger" - I don't write (much) for any of my blogs. I consider myself more of an editor/publisher. I couldn't do anywhere near what I do (run about 60 blogs) if I were actually creating my own content, too.

So, yes, I think it's possible, but only when thinking of blogging as a sort of mass publishing platform and taking an editor/publisher stance. If you have the "one blogger/one blog" mindset, you'll HAVE to get into speaking and book publishing and all that to get into the big time.

I don't think even the most famous blogger in the world is selling a million in ads.

But think of MySpace, or even Google (who owns Blogger) - I bet they make millions in ads, because they get to show them on ALL those blogs.

I don't know if I answered your question, lol. But it's something I've been thinking about myself.

Yes it is possible. Another example would be PerezHilton.com. He makes $50,000 a day from selling ad space on his blog. Now he has effectively merged his blog with the media and generates a lot of media attention to his blog. He also posts as much as 20 times a day to his blog.

But it is possible.

NO.

I mean, maybe there's a small handful of people who, by chance, fall into categories of gifted personality or super-technically inclined, but for the average person looking to make it online the question should remain purely academic.

Because, by the time any blogger starts making even a little "decent" money, they're going to know enough to leverage their popularity into things that will make them 7 figures a LOT faster.

So, can blogging LEAD to other opportunities that will RESULT in 7 figures. YES... but blogging alone won't even make the average person 6...

This is an inspiring thread.

I wouldn't have a clue as I've just started out but I think the point is more - is blogging/writing your passion? So the question then becomes do you really love to do it or do you do it just as a means to making money?
If it's the former (and that's where I am now) and you feel that you have something to say, I would have thought the sky's the limit.
If doing just for money - there's probably an easier way for you to reach that figure.

Perez Hilton does bring in around 50k a day but I don't know how much of it is profit. I would say for most the six figure a year goal would be more reasonable. Like others said you probably won't be able to make it just off of Adsense or Adbrite you will have to offer some type of service, product, etc.

God, enough with the flower-power thinking already! If you want to make 7 figures online, you need to think in serious business terms, and the truth is that blogs are not the optimal tool to generate such amounts.

Just because a VERY few people can make it big with a MASSIVE blockbuster of a blog, it doesnt mean that those results are reproducible by anyone else. And it's not a matter of having the right mind set. It's just because blogs are NOT the way big-time bloggers make their money.

Look, I run an authority blog that funnels 6-figures a year for me. And you know what? most of the income is not generated from the blog. In fact, the blog is nothing but a FUNNEL to drive traffic to your real money-making sections such as the paid member's forum, your $97 ebook, the mailing list, etc. People come to the blog -> they like what they read -> they stick around a bit -> and then I drive them to my actual money-making product.

I'll say that again: the money is NOT in the blog in itself. The blog is just the traffic generator from where you funnel prospects in. Think of it as a glorified squeeze page. That's why I said that for 99.9% of the people, it's not possible to make millions from a blog. If you want to make 7-figures you will be REQUIRED to have a solid back-end product to actually milk the blog traffic with. The blog without the back-end product will not make you 7-figures in a thousand years (at least for 99.9% of the people). What makes 7 figures is the back-end product... the blog is simply your "marketing tool" to engage people into that back-end product!

So in essence you use the blog to make your money (by funneling people to your product) but then you say a blog isn't a way to make money. When the OP asked the question he didn't ask HOW you make money with a blog, he asked if it was possible to make money WITH a blog. So the answer is yes, you can make lots of cash with a blog. If you have many great products with many blogs funneling tons of traffic to those products you can make 7 figures "blogging." You could say the same thing with any form of monetization (adsense, affiliate revenue, selling ad space). The blog is merely the vessel for which you deliver the goods. It's the same for a basic website, portal, salespage, etc.

Thanks

Last time I checked this out was about 6 months ago. I did an extensive search on the Internet and several reliable sources corraborated that Perez pulls in $110,000 net profit per month.
Not too shabby !! But ths guy lives to Blog. He Blogs 14 hrs. to 18hrs. a day and locks himself up in his Condo.

I must admit I would probably lock myself up for that length of time if I was clearing that kind of money.

Although with a new family now it would be virtually impossible.

Possibility verses probability! One blog and annual cash-flow of 7 figures is low on the probability index even if a few have done it.

If you want to be in the top 10% of income earners in marketing then you must practice "intentional congruency" with various business models. The idea is that you develop one business model with the intention of using some of it's assets in another business model. Rinse and repeat! One sign of an entrepreneur is numerous businesses that all have core assets in common like...

The life-blood of of any business is "customer acquisition" so focus on lead generation as a primary skill. If you can produce leads (traffic) you'll be fine as long as you're selling a quality product or service to a hungry crowd.

This question isn't that different from asking if you can make 7 figures acting or singing. Some people (Tom Hanks, Bono, Madonna and the likes) can answer "yes", but thousands of aspiring entertainers would have to say "no".

Talent, a solid plan, perseverance and a bit of luck - the formula is no different.

Very good answer. I think realizing that is what helped me change my approach. What worked for me is realizing that I'm not talented, interesting, or consistent enough to be a super-blogger in any niche.

So instead, I try to be only slightly better than mediocre in many, many niches. Consistency is the key. In the land where content is king and fresher is better, consistent mediocrity is better than sporadic excellence.

Okay, it might not be better but it has the same potential and it's certainly easier to accomplish.

Well, those are two different things. What I'm talking about is being a jack-practicing-in-all-trades-simultaneously-on-autopilot. If you want to be the best at anything, you only have to be better than the current best. And usually, in most niches, that is not very hard at all.

Well said Keith.

I often view this clip from Will Smith for periodic inspiration.

Will Smith happens NOT to be the best actor, comic, dancer, singer/rapper, film producer et al yet, he has the power to command top pay in Hollywood today.

He explains his mindset in the first part of the video then goes on to candidly talk about what separates him from anyone else... the "secret" will NOT surprise you at all in fact, it's been talked about here in the WF for ages yet the "secret" is too simple for people to take in and apply.... and it will not cost you 7 bucks either

Wise words from Will.

He explains his mindset in the first part of the video then goes on to candidly talk about what separates him from anyone else... the "secret" will NOT surprise you at all in fact, it's been talked about here in the WF for ages yet the "secret" is too simple for people to take in and apply.... and it will not cost you 7 bucks either

Wise words from Will.

That's my favorite video probably. I've watched it million times. Will doesn't think he is best actor but he probably IS because of his hard working!

Thanks

Yet there are actors around that aren't considered superstars, but are instantly recognisable everywhere. For example Brad Dourif (appeared as Grima Wormtongue in Lord of the Rings) is easily recognisable, and is a highly paid supporting actor. I saw an interview regarding an appearance in the X-Files where the producers had to pull some strings to be able to afford him at all. And this was before the LotR.

So while there will be few top billed bloggers earning 50K a day, there's no reason that someone cannot be a high earning second tier blogger. You might not make 50K a day, but you only need $2740 a day to make seven figures.

Hi mywebwork,

That's a good metaphor if I may say so? I figure it out that you can't be good in everything but you must be consistently good in one area rather than sporadic excellence in abundance.

That's why I keep improving my writing skill and give huge value to readers.

Cheers and thank you so much.

Even if it's not probable now, doesn't mean it won't be tomorrow!

Good point! No sense in creating double binds.

I just thought off an idea that might work.

If you create blogs, and maintain them well. Get traffic to them, and then flip them, you should be able to make a really good income, if you get a lot of readership or even income from them.

Thanks
