Can you make money from blogging?

Pods and Blogs have a fairly mixed message on whether it’s possible to make money from blogging. Sam Sethi is sceptical that anything other than the head of the tail has a particularly interesting take on it saying that bloggers need to help advertisers understand the value of their audience. I come in fresh from the election campaign, with a more upbeat message (though I had put the caveat, that I’m nowhere near giving up ‘the day job’).Craig McGinty, a journo who now mostly blogs, says that you can make a living by becoming ‘a point of knowledge in your field’. Russell Davies, says the blog model is just too fiddly for the big ad companies. The value of blogs just haven’t been agreed yet.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
