There is no way that writers in North America can compete head to head with writers who can work for far less due to lower cost of living. The solution is for North American’s to provide the value added stuff (market knowledge, personal experiences) and outsource all the mundane stuff. You can’t beat the globalization of the economy so you have to find a way to benefit from it. I just wrote a couple blog posts on this concept.

This income is, ofcourse, just for the posts that are a part of the blog. I don’t see other revenue’s that could be generated from blogging (ads on the sites, etc…)

Most companies who need bloggers dont hire them in US or Europe but in Asia.
Whose groups of people are mobilized for blogging jobs in India and the Philippines as example because the main languages spoken in these countries are English.

So forget those high rates….

I found this a very interesting breakdown of what you can expect to be paid currently for posts for blogs.

I just also wanted to add to the discussion on annual income – according to the US Census bureau, the average median FAMILY income for 2006 – 2007 for all 50 US States works out to be $59K

I make $25 per post for writing 500 word guest posts that take very little time and research. I thought it was pretty low but after reading this, I’m feeling much better!

10 years ago I got paid $100 per weekly submission of 100 words (standard $1 per word) on a month per month contract. Getting those writing gigs involved an actual interview process and review of proficiency/experience in the area you were writing about.
I saw many of the sites paying that go under, including the ones I had contracts with. Now, like many other industries I see people willing to do the same work for free although their expertise on the topic might not be as vast as the paid writers that were previously doing it, so many sites will never find it necessary to pay. As long as these sites can draw traffic the validity of the post is insignificant.

This dilutes the quality of the posts by having inexperienced speakers on topics passing as if they had more knowledge. It’s a shame for everyone, particularly the reader who has no idea the accuracy of what they are reading has declined.

Thanks for this blog post -
I know it can be very hard for bloggers to really make enough money online just by blogging, but its also worth noting that any self-respecting blogger looking to make money not only rely on paid-to-post jobs.

In fact, most bloggers have other successful affiliate programmes that bring in twice what the paid posts do.

So, any serious blogger out there should be making no less than $2000 a month from various money making programmes.
