Blogging is one of the most popular online activities. Millions of people around the world write and publish blogs every day.
According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, in 2010, bloggers made an average of $33,900 per year. This figure was up from $27,600 in 2009.
The study also found that women bloggers made considerably more than men bloggers, with the average woman earning $42,200 annually compared to $30,100 for men.
Despite the higher earnings for women bloggers, overall the average income for all bloggers was still lower than that of traditional journalists. However, this may change as blogging becomes more popular and more people earn a living from blogging.
In conclusion, blogging is a very lucrative activity and can be a source of income for anyone with the drive and talent to write and publish quality content.
