Delicious ‘dollar sign’ Facts on Day 1: Who are the bloggers?

Majority of bloggers that took part in Technorati’s survey have advertising on their blogs. In another word, making money from blogs is common and pretty much acceptable even though there are some jerks out there who think otherwise. Wise up, people!

Now, here’s the delicious part.

Those have advertising invested an average of $1,800 annually per blog. Their average annual income or revenue from advertising is $6,000 while those lucky enough to have more than 100,000 unique visitors per month earned a handsome $75k on average annually!

Incredible! But I’m still skeptical. I still believe that people can make more money from Internet Marketing than blogging. I’m doing both at the moment and I can see from my own side that Internet Marketing made more money for me. :-)
