I'm sick and tired of people who say "You are a blogger, you have blogs and a bunch of YouTube videos so you must get a lot of money doing (almost) nothing" "If you are a blogger and a vlogger why do you go to work? You make more money online" "Blogger and volgers get so much money today"
For all of these people who are living with the impression that bloggers and vloggers get super rich I posted a print screen of my AdSense earnings.
I have more than 7 blogs , a YouTube account, facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr and everything I can have online and I earn something like 3$ in one year. The content posted online has little of no views until the user who has created it is spending a bunch of money on advertising, more than the amount of money that com from AdSense. The internet today is nothing like the internet of the 90's when there was no facebook, instagram youtube, wordpress, etc and it was not that easy to make a website but once the website was online you could get millions of visitors. I miss those sweet times of the beginning of the online world. Now people must pay to Facebook or other websites if they want their content to be discovered by people, or else the posts will be viewed only by some friends and people who already know about that blog/ youtube channel/website.
This is the truth about blogging and vlogging not what the press is telling you. You can blog and vlog as a hobby but not as a real job or business. People who get real money from blogs and vlogs are already famous so people search for their content online and that's how they get millions of views online. If you think blogging and vlogging will take you out of poverty and you do it for money give it up and get a job. It's a waste of time and energy.
