The Myth of Blogs

The phenomenon has officially entered the mythology or the Latin, even less Greek, but the contemporary of modern times :razz: (I invent the same time). We live in a world full of ideas at the expense of common sense ...

All that to say that the blogosphere and the media have helped create a myth around the blogs, voluntarily or not. The idea is to make Internet users believe they can make money (lots) with a blog ...

I know some people who read this note, how many of you earn more than 30 € / month? Are you aware that less than 1% of bloggers wins French (really) money with their blog? These 1% of bloggers, your average 5am one day on their blog ...

This is surely why the Skyblog have as much success in France ... Let's talk instead of all the advantages a blog, there would certainly be more real blogs in France!

  • Attention Roman, 132 994 $ this is not a blog but with a classic site

  • It's true we had a lot of items at this time ... and also an article in Elle, which I heard saying with a blog, the girls were soon full of gifts ...

    Funny, I was just reading an article I just found via Blogasty (on the blog Roycod mid September, which dealt Gonzaga Guim some bloggers and crooks - and I saw you it had left some comments) about it. And I think that with news like that, "unveiled to the public, we may increasingly see the arrival of bloggers who swear by money!

    To measure the extent of damage, a few days ago I spoke with a contact found in the depths of my msn to which I said I had a blog that spoke a little about the web, etc, etc ... and I had done with dotclear ... One of the first questions was "how you win with? Because I wanted to open one if it wins well! and saw that we can win a lot "...
    Well, this contact is not necessarily an example :-P But it surprised me that the topic of money through blogging has arrived almost instantly!

    Otherwise, for info, no I did not win any of 30 € a month ... if I take into account, since I my blog I am approaching $ 8-10 per month on average ...

    Good for you aprem ;-)

  • I know the world has no blog because it does not earn enough from the past. Like there's anything in all cases.
    Otherwise I think winning over 30 € a month is quite feasible, but more than 400 or 500 becomes more complicated

  • Vincent>> I do not necessarily choose the best post on my blog, it says you also have a ticket on the income of bloggers : roll: (free to you)

    Matt>> Indeed, many people have launched a blog without lucrative purposes only think of all the other good things that might make (meetings etc.).

  • 5h a day on his blog?? still false figures from INSEE : mrgreen: .. even a blog maniac like me do not spend more than 45 minutes maximum per day ..

    but that I can spend 1 hour or 2 hours to read lesblogs other ..

    the bulk for bloggers is the declining dollar, you're beautiful you make 400 or $ 500 per month, but the fall of the dollar is a disaster for us poor bloggers, not even enough to pay my Iphone : sad:

    Reply

  • It is clear that the lower dollar does not help ... And you're glad when you buy a U.S. site to pay only 20 € instead of 30 $ ^ ^ ... (it's good for morale : lol: )

  • Fortunately that is not BlogBang dollar : razz:

  • BlogBang dollar ... then $ 1 = € 0.70 ... fortunately it is not 100 € to be paid!
    (well I speak, but I stopped BlogBang for some time ... I was not particularly appreciated the bugs that make it impossible to view my blog! Finally out of curiosity, it always refers as much?).

    Great discovery for me ...
    I knew the principle of "wish-list" but absolutely not think we could make money with a blog ... to limit the link between monetary gain / pub I understand but not on the rss feed ...
    I learned some work or less in the absence of my participation in the discussion.

  • I blog a lot and I win 0 euros, we are passionate when it is not! M'enfin all this to tell me that it would never have thought of opening a blog to make money.

  • For my part, I am not yet questioned the pub.

    Anyway I think that putting the pub on a blog that does not have many unique visits a day, it serves little purpose.

    Finally I say that but I am no more informed than the above it. But what bothers me is that the adsense ads or even BlogBang it's pretty ugly, it just swear on a blog ... Question of view!

    At the same time, we can not have a choice in all pubs, it would be too easy.

  • @ Jerome: money is far from being a motivation for my blog, the day they ask me how I win I would say. I await the next installments to offer a gift : wink:

    @ Gonzaga: besides the fact that you speak badly Jerone, his idea is not bad? What do you think?

    @ Jenn: I think you're really a hypocrite on the spot ... Have not you won a trip? one dined? full of gifts, thanks to your blog?

  • Frankly, I feel that the main problem when talking about income, is not to say we love what we earn, it is mainly driven by jealousy that they won ...

    If I say I earn ten dollars a month, who cares. If Gonzaga (or other) says he earns $ 500 (I say this number at random huh), he said he shared it and everything ... and it's the same thing in real life with the wages. It is frankly a problem with money from us ...

  • Yes yes. This is not because it is the interrogative form that you do not suggest very strongly that I should make my money.

    Regarding the statement of taxes, again it's my business. Really, I'll ask questions ....

    Streaming reports anyway. I started October 6 this year and I already runs around 20 dollars a day just with adsense. If you add other platforms affiliation, it should do well around $ 25 - $ 30/day (Blog bang me back 3euros day too), or around $ 750 - $ 800/month. It can not live in a palace but it helps pay my server projects. After the problem of streaming is that:
    - It is not legal
    - It takes a long time
    - It really takes a long time

    So, is it a myth? No, I do not think. Simply create a blog on a subject to potential audience (women, celebrities, funny videos, streaming, tv reality show) ... see Google Trends for knowledge and it is in the box. Lance 3-4 blogs in the genre and you'll see if you're not living.

  • The myth is precisely to suggest that we can make money easily ... You tell yourself to spend considerable time :!:

  • jerome on November 30

    @ Thomas, when we had the limit of legality, it is indeed easier to make the audiance.

    A blog with a potential audience that remains in the legal framework is much harder because there are thousands already in place.

  • I arrive after the war but I'm going to write something ...

    I earn peanuts with my blog because it's something that I does not optimize. In the state that pays a bit more than my hosting. Of course I'm not hearing of Romain, Gonz or other, but not so complicated to make a little pocket money with his blog.

    It's a shame if people do not open a blog just for that.

    It synthesizes, right?

    @ Roman

    "The idea is to make Internet users believe they can make money (lots) with a blog ..."

    Your ticket indicates that the myth is that you can make money with a blog. There is no mention of the time factor.

    Is it possible to make money with a blog? yes. Afterwards, must focus may be on the definition of a blog. Is Techcrunch is still a blog? Is it sufficient to use a publishing platform type Dotclear to Wordpress or seen that is in front of a blog?
