揭秘博客收入

Listen to article

Darren 关于"为何要公开您的博客收入?"的帖子引发了一些不错的观点交流。我的看法是双重的,但我认为并非所有博主都愿意透露他们通过 AdSense 从博客中获得的收入。

我们在上一次的PTB聚会上讨论过这个话题,以下是我对此的简要总结:

  • 那些公开博客收入的人,通常是已经从事这一行相当一段时间(大约一年左右)的博主。这意味着他们的努力得到了回报,并希望将成功分享给公众。
  • 另一些人则不愿透露自己的收入,担心那些有进取心的人会效仿并分走他们潜在的收益。这类属于利基博客,内容容易被复制(如食谱、手机、数码产品、新闻、歌词、下载资源等)。
  • 公开AdSense收入可能会使你的网站面临不当的批评,尤其是如果你使用了行业边缘手段的话。这就是为什么有些人对此保持沉默。
  • 大多数公开收入并宣扬博客力量及其商业潜力的博主,在可信度上会显得更有分量。如果你宣扬这一理念并能拿出AdSense支票作为佐证,那你必定是权威人士。
  • 另一些人虽然赚得不少,却并不为自己的博客“项目”感到自豪,因为其可能缺乏原创思想或内容,且容易被复制。因此,任何人都可以轻易做到并获得同样的成功机会。(见第2篇帖子)
  • 谈论金钱的话题总能吸引读者的兴趣并引发讨论。你甚至可能将那些偶然访客转化为忠实读者。

Markku… true!!! mas malakas yung sense of fulfillment mo pag alam mo that someone else is reading what you have written. Of course, sino ba naman ang tatanggi sa pera?

Bawal ba akong humirit sa thread na to? Hehehe. Personally, revealing a ballpark figure for my adsense earning is my way of saying that blogging can be both fun and profitable. Writing well can take you places, and give you some spare change. It can buy you some of the “luho” stuff you’ve been dreaming about, without compromising your salary.

But the best thing about blogging is not the thrill of money, but rather the feeling that your voice is one day considered an authority in your field of interest.

But to end it all, it’s always your personal call. :)

Unfortunate the lure of easy money is one many take for granted, ofcourse theres no such thing, but most dont learn that until theyve experienced it. And unfortunately a lot of people want easy money

@ andre

Yeah, sometimes talks about money aren’t really for public consumption.

@ An P

Iba nga naman yung pinaghirapan mo talaga db? Hindi naman siguro na nagyayabang but sometimes sharing sharing lang.

@ Marc

At least ako nakita ko na yung car mo (that adsense bought?) hehehe

@ lorimer

It’s not about gloating naman all the time. Sabi ko nga ke An P, minsan, sahring sharing lang. ;)

I agree with what Andre said below: you don’t go around telling people you’re earning 10 cents a day by serving AdSense ads in your blogs. Receiving 100-dollar-plus monthly earnings from AdSense is no walk in the park. For instance, my blogs have had AdSense ads for 13 months now and I have yet to receive my first AdSense paycheck. Currently, I have earned 79 dollars but I don’t mind since I’m sure I’ll be getting that check surely in this millenium. :-)

“instantly think easy cash when infact theres no such thing. It would be nice if when people post these numbers that they post how hard it was for them to make that number.”

imho, everyone should know (on their own) that there is no such thing as easy (legal) money in this world.

whether it’s done to gloat, inspire or teach, ppl’s reaction would always be different. some would give translate it as nagyayabang and give you flak whereas others would be inspired and try to have the same goals.

kanya kanya yan ng approach whether your the earner or the reader.

honestly i feel its a bad idea, i mean you dont go around in real life and say hey my job earns me 100k a year etc right?
Its more like bragging really, but hey who doesnt want to feel good and let everyone know they’re earning good. There are also a lot of people who see these numbers and instantly think easy cash when infact theres no such thing. It would be nice if when people post these numbers that they post how hard it was for them to make that number.
