There are five types of bloggers: part-time and full-time professional, hobbyist, corporate and entrepreneur.
Setting up and monetizing the blog is not easy at it seems to be and it is not the same as commenting. Blogging takes a lot of work as same as starting your own business. There's no real career path or trajectory to base expectations on. Some people can make good money on creating or selling their blogs and some will struggle to get a coin from it. It is not easy to create your blog and to make a name in the digital ocean as today internet is not something new. All people have access to the World Wide Web and everyone have possibility to create a blog. Therefore, it is difficult to reach the audience and to make them impressed. You can’t get rich in instance through blogging, though many people do work on their blogs full time (Pinola, M. 2014).
Salaries for bloggers vary widely. Freelance bloggers can make anything from under £10 a post to £100 or more for a relatively short post. Another way bloggers can get money is banner advertisement or affiliate marketing. Blogger earn a fee via an agency from a company if someone buys its products after clicking through from his site. Optimus Performance Marketing (Beugge, C. 2014) found that the typical lifestyle blogger could earn more than £900 a year from affiliate marketing on a blog.
A blog itself isn't really a business. It is more kind of a platform for other income streams. The content itself won’t make money; bloggers have to do more than that. They have to get advertisers, sell services like consulting or speaking, use affiliate marketing to get a percentage of sales from links people click on their blogs, or maybe offer products like e-books or premium content to generate income.
