Wondering how much do bloggers make per blog post? Honestly, the answers may excite you and motivate you to start your blog right now. Let me help you find an answer to this common blogging question.
Do you believe blogging can help you become rich overnight?
Well, that’s a lie.
But, I don’t want to discourage you. Because getting rich through blogging is really possible. What you are missing here is the time it takes to make it happen.
Let’s not focus on how long it takes to make money blogging.
So, here’s the burning question:
How much do bloggers make per blog post?
An average blogger makes $15 to $1500 per blog post per year. But, it’s easy to find successful bloggers who make $100 to $3000+ per blog post per year. How much you make blogging entirely depends on how good you are as a blogger.
Yes, it can be a great side hustle, and there are bloggers who literally earn an average estimate of $100 to $5,000+ per blog post annually. It’s not fully passive income, but it sure does get close to it!
This is huge. But, it will take time to reach that level.
And, here’s what you should know:
Bloggers don’t get paid per blog post unless they are paid to blog.
So how did I calculate their income per blog post?
Good question.
Here’s the math. And, the math is easy. Just divide a blogger’s estimated annual earnings by the number of blog posts already produced.
Pretty simple, right?
Well, apart from blogging income, there are many other things that may excite you and you may wish to build a successful blog starting today.
But, if you’re wondering if you can make thousands of dollars right after starting the blog, then it’s time to change your wrong beliefs.
It’s not the fantasyland many blogging platforms portray it as.
Don’t get me wrong, it can be an awesome life once you start blogging. You’ll be even making money to visit those unvisited islands & countries.
But it’s not easy to win, and neither is fast money.
In this post, I’ll lay out a practical & realistic answer to exactly how much money a blogger earns through a single blog post.
With that, I’m also going to cover:
- List of insanely paid bloggers & things you can steal from them.
- Why bloggers fail – even if they don’t want to?
- How changing your attitude can bring you dollars.
And, in the end, something to make you realize that you’re really never late, even if you start right after reading this post.
Stay with me and I’m sure it’ll be one crazy guide to filter out all your thoughts and make you an expert in blogging.
Let’s get started…
Before I start, I want you to remove all unnecessary distractions, tabs, or notifications, or chat with your special person because this one is more interesting than all these distractions only if you’re serious about blogging.

Why Most Bloggers Fail?
Listen carefully…
Not everyone who’s out there blogging can earn millions of dollars in a single trial.
Yes. you heard it right.
Those who are successful, have failed many times than anyone else.
The reason?
Blogging is not a get-rich-quick formula and nobody knows exactly what’s working right now and what’s not working.
Becoming a pro blogger requires hard work and determination.
Having that said, there are some proven strategies most of the bloggers are not following. They rely on flawed blogging practices that knock them out.
Nobody wants to be a part of a failure community, but there’s always something one can learn from them.
Many things, in fact.
I’ve put down a list of all wrong practices that lead to failure, just to make sure that you don’t fall into the same traps.
Well, I have tried my best to include the entire list. But obviously, it’s not possible to explain every point in a detailed manner.
So here goes the list…
- You don’t take blogging seriously.
- You thought blogging was a hobby but it’s not. Just like any other business, blogging requires you to be consistent and dedicated.
- Content is King. But you’ve ignored that statement. You’re not producing engaging, outstanding quality content.
- If you haven’t read point no 2, you can’t follow this one. You have to promote yourself too hard to gain the reader’s attention. Most of the bloggers are not doing this and that’s why they lose certain advantages.
- Just like yours, there are millions of blogs out there and your blog doesn’t seem unique or there is no reason why people choose to stick their eyes on your blog. You need to be different.
While I can’t say overcoming all those obstacles will be hard, it’s certainly possible.
But do you know what’s more important?
It’s your ATTITUDE.
Wondering how?
Let’s see.
Change Your Attitude to Blogging
How many times did Edison fail before inventing the light bulb?
1000 times.
How many times did Walt Disney fail before turning into the Disney?
And,
How many times did you fail?
A couple of times that didn’t even compare to all those biggest failures.
No wonder, to run a successful blog is a dream of many and the benefits can be huge. Even though it feels hard, thousands of bloggers made it possible.
That’s right. Thousands of bloggers have got rich blogging.
But answer this one:
Are you willing to leave that comfort zone of yours?
Are you willing to change your attitude?
If yes, then we can go ahead.
Let’s get one thing clear.
You can’t simply start a blog and hope for the best. No reader will accidentally stop by your blog. It just won’t happen.
To become a successful blogger, you’ll have to consistently publish quality content that stands out from the rest. You must solve the reader’s problems, attract them, and force them to keep coming back for more.
My Final Words
Can you also make thousands of dollars with a single post?
Is it possible?
Absolutely.
But, only if you treat blogging as a business.
Blogging is not a hobby to pursue when you’re serious about making money.
Yes, you can start your blog as a side hustle.
Yes, you can boost your blog day by day and make it even better.
Yes, you can quit your 9-5 job and turn your blog into a source of income to travel the world, spend more time with your family, whatever you want to do.
But you can’t get there without those sleepless nights and hard work.
You have to put in a lot of hours.
You have to practice and master the art of blogging.
The only way out is to change your thinking, your attitude, and construct a world where incredible things aren’t impossible.
Day by day, month by month, year by year, you’ll definitely get there.
In time your thoughts, your beliefs, and your actions will begin to reflect the blog you created. Of course, the first step is always scary.
But how can you walk the journey without that small step?
In the end, to become a successful blogger and make more money you need:
More self-discipline.
More energy.
More knowledge.
More experience.
And of course,
Never give up – ATTITUDE.
