Can a personal blog earn you decent money?

So, what do you think? In your opinion, could you make a decent income every month by blogging about the things you like, such as movies, cars, music etc, rather than just having a niche blog ( i.e. a MMO - Make Money Online - blog )? I was simply curious to know what you guys think

 

Well OldWelshGuy, for me decent earnings means from $1,000 up Thanks for the answer, by the way.

 

Maybe $1,000 is a bit too much, hasan_889. But I was just giving an example of what decent earnings means to me. Of course, if I were to build such a blog, I'd be quite pleased to earn even half of the above mentioned amount, for the start.

I agree with you: it is quite a lot of hard work to achieve such results, but if all will pay off in the end, then the efforts you've put in meant something. Thanks for the opinion!

 

A month, of course.

 

LOL! Sorry for the "of course" stuff. For me it was obvious, but i forgot that for others might not be. My bad

 

Hehe, no offense taken

 

Yep, I have heard about her, too. This shows that if you put in some hard work ( not necessarily to appear on tv and all the rest ) and you're determined to succeed, I think you'll make it. You may not make hundreds of thousands monthly, but still enough to improve your financial status. My 2 cents

 

@ Rohitpatel & DeluxDon: This was my thought exactly too: money can be made with a personal blog too, not just with a niche one, for example. As I've mentioned before in this thread, you have to work a bit hard in the beginning, to make your blog known and bring some constant traffic and then you'll be able to make some cash with it

 

You're right here, seonotes. A decent income can be made from more personal blogs if you put some work and passion in it. I currently have a MMO blog, but I'm seriously considering to switch to something else, more "out of the box stuff", as you've said
