Conclusion: "Blog wacko theory" and "blogs can't make money" are 99% lies.

Saying, "You shouldn't blog because you won't make any money" is the same as saying 0

Blogs are wack."
You shouldn't blog because you won't make any money."

People who say this are

Don't go to Disneyland because it's too crowded.

This is exactly the same thing as saying this.
(more on that in the next section!)

If you hear this.No, no, no, that's not...!Wouldn't that be a good idea?

Let me try to explain the true meaning of the "99% lie" specifically.

What is the truth about the "99% lie?"

At the beginning I said that "blogs don't make money" is a 99% lie,The rest of the 1% is actually applicable in some areas.

There are two points.

The characteristics of the Internet, including blogs and social networking sites, areAlways a national convention.be.

that extentMore rivals.This is why.

Certainly the bar has been raised for blogging compared to those who were quick to get started five or ten years ago.

In addition, the growing influence of video over the past few years has also had an impact.

But what makes it true is that "blogs don't make money",It is only "for a very few".

It was originally intended to be aThose who were earning millions or more than 10 million per month during the heyday of blogging.

From their point of view, blogging is already making some money, and if they are going to devote more time to it, it would be better to work on investments, for example! This is their sense.

And I and othersFor those who "want to make money from blogging" or "want to start blogging," how much does "making money" mean?

Of course, some may want to aim for 10 million in the future,Even if it were 100,000 or 200,000 a month, you would feel that is a sufficient level of earning.

Certainly more people are blogging than ever before.

Most of the time Disneyland is also crowded when you go there on holidays, but it's not as if you can't enjoy it.

The same is true of blogging, and it is strange for most people to think that because there are more people, they are not making more money.

For 99% people who want to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from their blogs, the current reality is that they can make money without any problems!The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

He is a blogger who is actually still working hard and earning a steady income,No one is saying, "I can't start now and make money."

Bloggers' Profit Distribution: How much money does everyone make, frankly?

I knew I couldn't make any money...? About half of the respondents earn less than 1,000 yen per month.

Affiliate Monthly Income	2019 Distribution
Revenue 0	29.7% (%)
～Less than ~1,000 yen	15.6% (15.6%)
1,000 yen to less than 5,000 yen	9.3% (9.3%)
5,000 to less than 10,000 yen	6.1% (6.1%)
10,000 to less than 30,000 yen	9.1% (9.1%)
30,000 to less than 50,000 yen	3.7% (3.7%)
50,000 to less than 100,000 yen	5.1% (5.1%)
100,000 to less than 200,000 yen	4.5% (4.5%)
200,000 to less than ¥500,000	6.2% (6.2%)
500,000 to less than 1,000,000 yen	4.0% (4.0%)
From 1 million yen	6.7% (6.7%)

There are other sources of income for blogs, such as Google Adsense for click ads and PR requests from companies, but the main source of income for bloggers who are actually making money is mostly affiliate marketing.

The table above shows the results of the revenue distribution from that affiliate (2019).

What a surprise,45.31 TP3T bloggers earn less than $1,000/monthThe reality is that the

The average monthly income is about $3,000.

On the other hand,The percentage of those earning more than 100,000 per month is 21.41 TP3T of the total

What do you think of these numbers?

alsoI can't make money!"I think this is a great image.

This section explains the reasons for this distribution!

Explaining the reasons for revenue distribution, the number one factor is continuity.

It's handwritten and looks bad, but here it is.Growth curve to make money from bloggingrepresents the

And why about half of bloggers have less than $1,000 in revenue, as mentioned earlier.

It is,Only a small percentage of people are able to continue during the period before the hardest results begin to show.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

That is up to the orange point on the graph!

It varies from person to person, but I would make this point.10,000 per month.We believe that this is the case.

The road to earning 10,000 yen a month was really tough, and I felt like I was running through a dark tunnel.

In terms of how long it takes,The earliest is half a year, generally about 10 months~1 year.

Quite a few quit before they exit the tunnel, even though they may soon reach a breakpoint.

The numbers are not exact, but approximate.80% in 3 months, 50% in 6 months, and only 10% left in 1 year.It is said.

Farming situation where only seeds are sown and not harvestedIt's like a

However, once they exit that long tunnel, they often grow at a speed that makes it seem as if the previous years were a lie.

Therefore, the ratio of 30,000~50,000 in revenue is 3.71 TP3T, a surprisingly small number.

Of course, there is also good and bad blogging and strategy,The biggest factor is "whether or not they can continue."

Even if you are interested in blogging first,About 20% of the people are able to start.

This is where we differ from the 80%.

And it seems that the only thing that can continue is 51 TP3T or less from there.

However, on the contraryIf you can start a blog and keep it going, 100,000 per month is well within the realm of feasibility.

Even if it takes two years, if I can change my life in just a couple of years of my life, I have to do it.
This strong feeling is the reason why I started my blog and have been able to continue it until now.

Surprisingly easy! How to set up a blog even for beginners [Start a blogger quickly and easily] | MoNomad I was thinking, "I'm kind of interested in blogging, but I don't know how to start one." With these thoughts in mind, I was unable to start a blog for more than half a year. However, even though I had never even posted on social networking sites...

Why you can still make money despite the blogging wacko theory

Reason #1: How can you not search on Google?

'Blogs can't make money because from now on it's all about video!'There are those who say.

Yes, the more time you spend on Youtube and Netflix, the less time you will spend reading blogs.

But even those who say so.You use Google to search for something, right?

Searching on Google means that you have some problems or concerns.

It is not a matter of "0 or 100" in the extreme, which of course raises the bar,It is not at all at the level of hundreds of thousands of dollars per month that is impossible.

Reason #2: The cost of online advertising continues to grow.

This was big news in March 2020.

Internet advertising spending has surpassed that of the television media industry.

They said it was only a matter of time, but finally.

Incidentally, as we look to the future, Internet ad spending will go up more and more as more of the TV industry's ad spending moves to the Internet, and the older, more established industries that have not yet entered the Internet much will start spending more.

It means a trend of growth as a whole pie.

Reason #3: Blogging fights change with the times.

The criteria for a readable (i.e., highly rated by Google) blog changes over time.

I went back and looked it up.

2015-2017: the era of long-form SEO

In this era, articles with a large number of words are considered to be good articles, and the inclusion of keywords and techniques are regarded as important.

What's happening now.

It doesn't have to be long to be "properly read."is a good article, and if readers come in from social networking sites, etc., it is even more highly rated.

In other words, even those who used to make money from blogging may not grow as fast as expected if they are still fighting the same battles as they were back then.

On the flip side,Even if you are just starting your blog, you can make money depending on how you do it.That is to say!

Reason #4: No one who continues to do so has not earned money.

Earlier, I said that continuity is the single most important factor in earning money.

Again, I know it's repetitive, but it's really true.I have never seen a blogger who has written 200 or 300 articles and not made money.

Start a blog."and then take action,"Continued."If possible,Become one of the "100 most profitable bloggers."

Reason #5: Many bloggers are achieving results within a year of starting.

Even as the hurdles to making money from blogging are rising,Achieve results at an astonishing speed.There are many new bloggers.

I am a turtle blogger who started in 2017 and it took me 2 years to earn 10,000 a month because I didn't write many articles and was self-starter, but there are some great bloggers on social networking sites who earn over 100,000 in 3 months.

Not that you need to be as skilled as they are,It means that if you continue to work steadily at your own speed, you can each achieve results.

Blogging from Zero｜Third Summary

Again, the fact is that the bar for making money from blogging is higher than it used to be.

However, the number of bloggers will continue to increase and the hurdle will be raised.

In other words, as long as you can't go back in time,The lowest hurdle is nowThis is the case.

If you are at all interested in blogging, you can start byBe the 20% that start a blog, not the 80% that don't act!

And from thereAssumption that it will take time to achieve results.And, by continuing to work hard at it.Become one of the 100 most profitable bloggers."

I would be happy if I could engage in friendly competition as a fellow blogger with everyone who reads this article!

Thank you for taking the time to read this to the end!
