When I was a beginning blogger, one thing that helped me tremendously was reading income reports from bloggers who were actually making some money from their blogs. I was inspired by reading how they started out just like me – no readership and no clue what to do – and grew their blogs into something tangible.

I was motivated by bloggers who made what I consider a reasonable amount per month ($1,000 – $2,000) and I loved reading about the huge success stories (bloggers who make $10,000, $25,0000, sometimes $30,000+ per month).

I thought it was crazy to even think I could reach those kinds of heights with my blog income, but I was so encouraged knowing all of these bloggers were just like me – many of them moms with little ones at home who worked on their blogs while the kids were napping, in preschool, or in bed for the night. I figured if they could do it, so could I!

Here I am 17 months after starting to take my blog seriously (I had basically done it as a hobby for years), and my monthly earnings one month recently were just shy of $10,0000.

$10,0000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you had told me in September 2014 that I would be saying that, I would have walked away from you as quickly as possible because I knew you were likely cuh-ray-zeeeeee. I now firmly believe anyone with the will to succeed and a solid plan to execute can make $1000 per month or more from a blog. I think I’m living proof of that!

On the Way to $10,000 per Month Blogging

This has been one wild and crazy wild for me, and today I want to encourage you with a roundup of some of my favorite blogging income reports from around the web. I know some of these bloggers personally, and I can tell you they are just like you – regular people with everyday stuff going on in their lives. But they all have one thing in common – a crazy amount of discipline when it comes to working consistently every single day on their blogs and belief in themselves.

In my experience, the difference between a blogger who makes money from their blog and one who doesn’t is their level of adaptability and a hard work ethic. A willingness to make changes when something isn’t working, even if it takes them out of their comfort zone, and working hard to multiply what works well.
