Blogging is hard, and it can take a long time until you see the fruits of your labor. Stay motivated with this list of 50+ blog income reports to inspire you!
Anyone who has been blogging for any amount of time has probably realized by now that blogging is work. It’s hard to understand just home much work blogging is if you’re outside of the blogging community, but between writing, editing, promoting, content creation, up-keep, engagement, research, networking.. and about a million different tasks, it can for sure be a full-time job. Which is probably why so many blogs fail within the first 6 months.
But for every story of blogger burnout, there is another of a blogger who put in the work and is now able to do a job they love full-time while supporting their family – and is you ask me, that’s pretty inspiring.
I started my blog when I was pregnant with Ryan for fun, mostly. And then I abandoned it. Eventually, I needed an outlet for my full-time SAHM brain and came back to this space and found my passion. I have big dreams for this blog – I put a lot of work into it, both because I am so damn passionate about this blog and because I have grand ideas of where it could go and where it could take my family.

Finally, I’ve started to see some rewards for my hard work and it feels nice to see my hard work and late nights paying off. And I know I’m not the only blogger putting in the hours and waiting for the rewards. But when the return on your investment is taking longer than expected, it’s easy to feel lost and like it will never happen. During these times, I like to look at some of my favorite bloggers’ income reports – seeing someone else thriving (or sometimes struggling – it’s nice to know it’s not just you!) in the industry you’re hustling at shows you that it is possible.
That’s why I’ve compiled this list of blog income reports – these are meant to inspire you, put a fire under you to reach your own blogging goals! Below is over 50 blog income reports ranging from $10 to over $100,000 a month!

I agree 100% that blogging is HARD work! I had no idea when I first started. Thought it was a ‘you build it, they will come’ type thing. Ha ha, right?! I’m torn on income reports. Sometimes they inspire me andvr provide me with ideas of where to look for opportunities but other times, they are discouraging. Visiting from Saturday Sharefest.
Sweet of you to include me, but that income # is only my ads…..
Thanks for the mention!
Hi Morgan, Thanks for adding me on this post. I believe you linked to my June income report. July was a much better month. 🙂 Here’s all of my blog income reports. http://keepitsimplediy.com/monthly-stats/ Thanks!
Ooh I really need to check out these posts! It’s crazy just how much money some people are making through their blogs!
Thanks for all of the links! I kind of need to light that fire again so I can get back to making something from the blog. I was happy with my progress and then summer hit and it’s all kind of went backwards – but my time spent on it has a bit as well.
Great List – I’m going get a coffee and have a good look at all of these. I really appreciate when people are open and share things like this, it really inspires me and helps keep me going.
Thanks for the post!
I am 4 months in on my blog.
I know you need to spend money to make money – buying clicks etc.
I never knew just how detailed and how much information you need to be successful! It’s crazy!
I read a successful bloggers story and she even has a staff to help! WOW!
Thanks
Michelle
I love reading blog income reports, no matter the blog size. It’s exciting to see people use their passion to earn an income. I hope I can get there someday! Thanks for sharing with Small Victories Sunday Linkup.pinned to our linkup board and I wish you much success with your blog!
Thanks for the awesome list. I’ll have to check these out!
Wow this is awesome. Like you said, blogging isn’t a get rich quickly thing. I have been doing this for about 8 months and it gets harder every day. For everyone who is new or where I am, keep going!! We can and will do it. These income reports do inspire because they aren’t just all super popular, making a lot of money blogs. Thanks!
It’s helpful to see what other bloggers earn. I just earned my first yesterday after about two and half months after starting. Although it was more thru networking than thru my blog. 🙂
I so agree, blogging is hard work and very hard to explain to non-bloggers why you spend so much time at the computer. Thanks for sharing. It is encouraging to see what is possible.
This post is extremely inspirational for me. It’s so nice to see all the different incomes bloggers have. Thanks so much for posting!
Such a big disparity! I think it’s very inspiring actually and it’s clear that those bloggers have all different targets. I think making money out of blogging is not so massive in the UK. It’s more popular in the USA to ask for paid reviews for example. #happynowlinkup
Such an encouragement! I have been going back and forth about giving blogging up. Just not sure it’s what I want to do… Hmm…still thinking about that!
These figures are amazing! Yes, lots of hard work and stick-to-it attitude required. Thanks for sharing with us at Celebrate Your Story!
I absolutely love that this shows a range of income reports! Sometimes I see something even as high as $7000 or $10000 a month and, as a new blogger, I can’t imagine that ever being me! Sometimes it feels more daunting than motivational. Thanks for sharing reports from bloggers along all stages of this journey!
Very inspiring as well as amazing 🙂
So inspiring — Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
Those definitely are inspiring reports, Morgan! Thank you for sharing them. I’ve been blogging for nearly 14 years now and it’s always great to feel encouraged. Thank you for being a part of our Hearth and Soul Hop.
