The number of people who advertise professionally bloggers (people who record their thoughts and experiences in their own web site) is increasing with geometric progress. Fashion blogger, food blogger, travel blogger make their presence more and more visible in social media and make us all wonder: where do they make money?
First of all, once a blogger gets a good number of readers or followers in social media, he targets companies that want to promote their products or services through social networking sites and are willing to pay for it.
However, blogging is not always a win-win option. This is why many have it as a hobby or as a parallel activity. A survey of 2015 showed that just 11% of bloggers receive more than $ 30,000 a year.
Another way to make money for a blogger is by placing content on the blog or its social media pages. In this way, they can make between $ 25 and $ 1,000 per suspension. Also, there are not enough bloggers who make money through attending seminars.
For bloggers who have a large audience, things get even easier because they can launch their own product lines, from books and jerseys to albums and artwork.
At the same time, popular bloggers enjoy privileges such as free travel organized by companies for journalists and marketing and public relations workers. In many cases, they are paid to attend these trips and share their experience with their audience. They are estimated to receive from $ 2,000-10,000 for each such trip.
Bloggers can also make money even if they post on their blog or post on the social media active link (link) to buy a product. In this case, they can make between $ 100 and $ 7,000 a month.
As it seems, the hardest part for a blogger is to "build" an audience that will make companies watch him. It is estimated that it takes about a year for a blogger to get a audience that will allow him to make a decent income from blogging.
