Recently I read a post by Peter Da Vanzo which discussed some of the blogs which earn nearly 1 Million Dollars a year. CNN also made a report discussing how blogs earn a good income and can quickly give rise to a bloggers reputation (article referred to Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch with nearly 100,000 readers!).

Most bloggers start out their blogs as a hobby or small-time blog, but suddenly earn loyal readers and rise at an unexpected rate. Here are some of the high-paying blogs and their payouts:

• Techcruch - 60,000/month
• BoingBoing - $1 Million/year
• PaidContent.org - Even more
• Fark.com - High Millions

However, the blogging area has not reached it’s peak and expect it to grow tremendously in the next few years due to free blog sites like Blogger or 66 Blogs.

The reason users like blogs is the fact that they are so affordable to start since there are tons of free blog sites (as mentioned above) which register a free sub-domain for you. Even if you wanted to start a blog with your own domain name, it would only cost:

$9/year to register a domain name at Sixty6 Domains

• $4/month with First Month free if you use Sixty6 Hosting ($48/year)

= $57/year

Most blogs take nearly a year of consistent blogging to gather visitors in order to earn a good revenue to make a profit from it!
