I didn’t say it was a scientific study, and I’m pretty sure that’s obvious even for readers who won’t read the RWW piece. It’s an interesting observation on behalf of RWW, and something to discuss. What others are making on writing blog posts is something a lot of people are interested in, and obviously a lot of supposedly big names are trying to appear more important than they are, if payment is any measurement at all.

I didn’t need the link for a reason, because I’d already read it, which by the way, is how I knew what it said.

Truly moronic comment.

For John above – do you really expect a blogger to repeat an entire article just to discuss the points he found interesting? He gave you a link for a reason – so you could read it! Truly unnecessary criticism.

Secondly, they may have asked 20 of them but they only got a response from 10 – which you failed to mention.

Such a small group is not an accurate or scientific representation of the industry as a whole.

I put in about 30 hours a week on this thing and I think so far this year I have earned about USD300. That was 250 for one article I wrote and the rest from google(not much there but then again i don’t push ads too hard on the site).

Luckily I have some IT support work with long-term commitments which bring me from 22-46 dollars per hour, and some web and design consulting that has paid me around 500 an hour(sporadic though).

But blogging, how cheap would I go? I’d do Wordout regardless.
