How Much Do Semi-Pro Bloggers Make from Blogging?
In my previous article on “Will I Grow Rich by Blogging?“, I discussed how much money bloggers are actually earning from their blogs in a typical month and suggested that most of us will never become the type of pro-bloggers who earn big money from blogging.
But we can still try to become a Semi-Pro blogger. The question is than how much should a semi-pro blogger aim to make from blogging?
First, let us take a look at the median household income for selected “richer” countries obtained from Wikipedia. The chart below shows that a typical household’s median income could range from US$30,000 in Singapore, US$39,000 in United Kingdom, US$44,000 in Canada, to US$50,000 in the United States of America. This implies that the monthly median income ranges from $2,500 to about $4,200, or more.
Now, let us assume that being a pro-blogger means that the blogger can now quit his day job since his earnings from blogging is equal to or more than his monthly income. Being a Semi-Pro should thus earn at least 50% of his monthly income.
The Wayang Blogger formula is:
Pro-Blogger earnings from blogging = Monthly income from day job
Semi-Blogger earnings from blogging = 50% x Monthly income from day job
Therefore depending on where you live, you should at least aim to earn between US$1,000 to US$2,000 per month from your blog to qualify as a Semi-Pro Blogger.
