In fact, it&#8217;s actually more alive than ever before &amp; you can certainly still <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">make a living by blogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, on this page, we&#8217;re going to set the record straight, explain why blogging isn&#8217;t dead &amp; show you how people make money by writing blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Make a Living Blogging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, absolutely. People have been making a living by blogging for many years &amp; every day, there are new people leaving their jobs to blog full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But blogging doesn&#8217;t have to &#8220;just&#8221; make you a living. It could become an extremely lucrative career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">blogging could actually make you a millionaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And believe it or not, it&#8217;s actually not all that difficult to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">start a profitable blog<\/a> &amp; find yourself earning tens of thousands every single month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\">Commission Academy<\/a>, we&#8217;ve put together lots of guides on starting profitable blogs, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-gaming-blog\/\">How To Start a Gaming Blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-dog-blog\/\">How To Start a Dog Blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-photography-blog\/\">How To Start a Photography Blog<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-fitness-blog\/\">How To Start a Fitness Blog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or even how to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">start a profitable blog in any niche<\/a> you can think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, we&#8217;ve also uncovered <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-make-500-per-month-blogging\/\">how long it takes to get to $500 per month by blogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you might be wondering, then, if it&#8217;s so lucrative, why so many people claim that blogging is dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let&#8217;s take a look at that next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Blogging Dead? Why Do People Claim It Is?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First off, let us set the record straight. Despite what you might hear, blogging is certainly not dead. In fact, it&#8217;s actually more alive than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put it this way, if it was dead, I wouldn&#8217;t be wasting my time writing this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if that&#8217;s the case, why do people claim that blogging is dead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, here&#8217;s the deal. Whilst blogging can be very lucrative &amp; potentially <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">make you a millionaire<\/a>, it&#8217;s not something that&#8217;ll see you starting to earn overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we talked about <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-make-500-per-month-blogging\/\">in another blog post<\/a>, it could take you months to earn your very first earnings &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-make-500-per-month-blogging\/\">up to 6 months to start earning $500 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And guess what? A lot of people are pretty darn impatient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, rather than stick it out, you get a lot of people starting blogs &amp; writing blog posts, only to give up a month or two later &amp; claim that it&#8217;s dead because they haven&#8217;t made money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as you now know, that&#8217;s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing you stick with it &amp; leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-a-keyword-in-blogging\/\">keywords &amp; keyword research<\/a>, you could quite easily <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">build a highly profitable blog<\/a> that you can make a living from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should know. I&#8217;ve done it multiple times&#8230; And so has Simon, the other instructor here at Commission Academy. That&#8217;s why we put together <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\">our free course teaching people how to do it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you haven&#8217;t done so already, be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/register\/\">sign up for our free training<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested in getting started with setting up your very own money-making blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Can You Make By Blogging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst the answer to this question varies depending on how much effort the blogger has put in, the average earnings of an established blogger are typically between $40,000 to $60,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some bloggers earn less, whilst some bloggers earn way more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as we mentioned in another post, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">blogging even has the potential to make you a millionaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what&#8217;s even better is that typically, once you&#8217;ve built an income up from a blog, it will become mostly <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-make-passive-income-with-affiliate-marketing\/\">passive<\/a>, meaning that there&#8217;s very little work required to maintain it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, for example, if you built a blog that was earning $50,000 per year, then generally, you&#8217;d be able to stop working (or work just a couple of hours per day) and maintain that same level of income for quite a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the reason for that is that once your blog posts are published, they&#8217;ll become ranked in search engines like Google &amp; those search engines will send a flow of visitors through to your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, for as long as your blog posts are still live (and relevant), you could still be getting visitors coming from search engines which means you could still continue making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that happens a lot. There are many bloggers who <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-make-passive-income-with-affiliate-marketing\/\">generate passive income<\/a> for years from their blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings me to the next point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Bloggers Get Paid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How bloggers get paid depends on how they earn their money &amp; there are many different ways that bloggers can earn money from a blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two main ones, however, are <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/advertising-vs-affiliate-marketing\/\">display advertising<\/a> (both of which we teach in our free training course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before I explain how they get paid, let me give a brief overview of these two means of earning work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affiliate Marketing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This involves promoting products or services through <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/affiliate-programs\/\">affiliate programs<\/a> in return for commissions that are paid out on successful sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blogger chooses which affiliate programs he\/she wants to join &amp; is entirely in control of what products or services they want to promote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Display Advertising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Display advertising essentially involves placing advertisements on your blog, but generally, bloggers will use ad networks that automatically serve up relevant ads next to their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through display advertising, bloggers are generally paid per click or per view on the advertisements that are displayed on their blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Bloggers Get Paid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, back to the main point. Bloggers can ultimately choose exactly how they wish to be paid (and also, usually, when they want to be paid).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if a blogger wants to be paid via PayPal every week, they could simply find an affiliate program that pays via PayPal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, if they wanted to be paid via bank transfer or cheque, they could simply search for affiliate programs or ad networks that paid via those methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when it comes to getting paid as a blogger, it&#8217;s safe to say that it&#8217;s very flexible. Regardless of your location or payment methods, you&#8217;ll certainly be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">get paid for blogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s no doubt about it. You can still make a living blogging in 2026 &amp; as highlighted, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/can-blogging-make-you-a-millionaire\/\">blogging could even make you a millionaire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The folks that claim blogging is dead are simply folks who didn&#8217;t stick with it long enough for it to start working for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you&#8217;re curious as to how long it takes to start working, we uncovered <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-make-500-per-month-blogging\/\">how long it takes to make $500 per month with a blog right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But overall, we hope that this post has given you a good insight into the income potential that blogging can provide &amp; if you have any further questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to blogging, people like to claim that blogging is dead &amp; that it&#8217;s just a waste of time.
