There is no one answer to this question, as it largely depends on the individual blog and what niche it covers. However, a few general points can be made about whether or not blogging is profitable.
First, if your blog is focused on monetization through advertising revenue, then it is likely not very profitable. While many bloggers do make a small amount of money through advertising, it typically isn’t enough to cover the costs associated with running a blog, such as website hosting and domain registration.
Second, if your blog is focused on generating affiliate income through linking or promoting other businesses’ products and services, then it may be more profitable. Again, this typically depends on the niche and the amount of traffic you receive from linking to other sites.
However, it’s important to note that affiliate income is typically lower than advertising revenue, so even if you do well at generating affiliate commissions, your overall income will likely not be very high.
Third, if your blog is purely for entertainment purposes (i.e., you simply want to write for fun), then it may not be very profitable.
This is largely due to the fact that most people don’t generate a lot of traffic to their blogs from purely entertaining content. Instead, most bloggers who are successful at making money through blogging focus on either monetization through advertising or generating affiliate income.
