Could you do this or does it seem too far out?
Is $100,000+ Months Within Your Reach Through Blogging?
These 3 persons did it and they are not super-heroes. Just normal people like you and me.
Here’s what you need to know…
It’s crucial to have the right understanding of this. If you’re anything like me, when you hear such a thing as making more than $100K per month, you go “Wow, are they lucky?” My guess is that luck has only little to do with this.
But most importantly, I know of three people who makes that much and didn’t make $100K per month from day one!
They all started with an idea. Created a blog. Followed their strategies.
And they are in three very different niches.
How Much Is $100,000 per Month Really?
If we forget about the team, each of these bloggers has to pay, $100K is a lot of money.
It’s more than $3,333 per day. Can you imagine? I know a lot of people who would be happy to make that much per month with a blog.
That’s how much they make per day!
But let’s take a quick look at the three bloggers. Starting with the first I heard about. And I actually got one of her courses a few years ago.
Michelle Schroeder-Gardner
Forbes did an interview with Michelle Schroeder-Gardner in 2017.
At that time, Michelle was 27 and made $1 million the previous year. Yes, I admit it… Back then it was just shy of $100K, not even $84K.
It was still an income I could live with and I assume her income hasn’t exactly gone down over the years.
Especially since she’s teaching how to be successful with a blog, and that course isn’t cheap.
Michelle started her blog in 2011. Her goal was to document her own journey to get her income and debt under control. And she paid off her student loans ($38,000) in 7 months.
She’s still running that blog, called MakingSenseOfCents.com
Sophia Lee
Sophia Lee is another young blogger who makes more than $100,000 per month.
Like Michelle, Sophia started her blog based on a personal interest. She had just started college and found it important to make her dorm room look great. So when she learned about blogging and saw it as a way to make an income, that became her topic.
She’s still running the same blog, more than five years later.
BySophiaLee.com is all about decorating your home. She started this blog alone, but now she has a team to help her with the writing, graphics and more.
Sophia followed her passion and monetized the blog with ads, affiliate products and printables.
Besides her blog, she’s also selling courses about blogging, getting traffic and sending out emails to her subscribers.
Two young and successful women. Let’s bring a man on the stage now.
Adam Enfroy
Adam Enfroy started his blog in 2019.
You’ll find it on AdamEnfroy.com where he writes about his interests, which are business software, how to use it and how to make money online.
Adam is also monetizing with ads and affiliate links.
And like the two ladies, Adam is also teaching how to be successful as a blogger. Plus, he runs several other companies. Working 5 hours a month, because he’s outsourcing the rest.
This year, he made $1,047,401.19 with his blog from January 1 to October 21.
Just with his blog. Does this sound crazy to you? Unreachable?
What Is Your Reaction When You Learn about Bloggers Making More Than $1 Mio a Year?
Do you think, “Bull, they are lying”?
Or, “Sure, that was easy for them back then”? Or, “Yeah, but this is hard. It’s a lot of work”?
Or does it inspire you?
Now you know what their niches are. Does this mean that everyone that goes into one of those three niches, even today, would be successful? Or the contrary?
In an earlier article, I wrote that the niche didn’t matter.
Sure, it matters a little. The usual advice is to go into either health, wealth or relationship. But the concrete niche…
Not so much.
What matters more is that you:
- Come up with a strategy
- Follow it to the T
- Keep blogging
- Keep improving — make each new post 1% better than the previous
- Don’t give up
- Stay patient
That is not easy. And yes, there’s “hard” work involved. Especially to begin with.
But remember that none of these three persons who are now making more than $100,000 per month KNEW they would succeed.
They hoped they would. They believed they could. But there was no certainty.
It will be the same for you.
If you decide that it’s possible to make money with a blog, go for it. Go all in. No dabbling allowed.
You don’t have to do it full time.
But set aside as much as you can daily. Then focus on the task at hand. Do a little every day.
And after a month, you’ll have obtained a lot.
