Top 30 Money Making Blogs in the World
Tweetthis list is originally posted by Michael Dunlop of incomediary.com
I find it very useful and hopefully it’ll inspire you to start a blog now and at the same time, know how powerful blogging can really be and what Great benefits it could give to an individual.
Michael made an extraordinary list and the thing I liked about it is that he included the names of the blog owner, the actual monthly earnings that blogger makes and the biggest “source” of the blogger’s income.
According to Him, “its not just the monthly income that rocks but when you want to sell out you can make a huge amount of money! Like 22 year old Johns Wu who sold his blog for $15 Million dollars.”
if you’re new to blogging and really serious about making money from your blog, then you should also checkout the blogs that are already making money. find out what they are doing, why and how they do it. I think it’s one of the best way to start.
take note that the table below is not 100% accurate and are mere estimations only of how much money these blogs are making each month.

Wow, it’s amazing to see sites like John Chow and Shoemoney so high up on the list! These guys are good examples of how powerful internet marketing can be.
Should we expect to see Elie Palima on this list soon? :)

I am quite surprised Tyler Cruz made it to the list. I though Shoemoney made more, but 30 grand is not bad at all. He is hitting 360,000 a year.

Great list. I’m surprised that site number 30 is only making $3,000 per month, don’t get me wrong it’s good money, but I would have expected that there are a lot more than 30 blogs making $3K + per month.
