Some of the most successful bloggers are making $50K+ per month. To put that into perspective, that’s at least $600,000 per year. Talk about financial freedom!
But running a blog isn’t easy, and these figures aren’t all profit. Still, earnings like these are inspiring, to say the least.
To motivate you to continue with your blog, I’m going to share blog income reports from bloggers making $50K+ per month.
But first, make sure to sign up to my free 7-days email course on how to quickly set up your blog and start making money!
11 Successful Bloggers Who Make Over $50K A Month
1. Just A Girl and Her Blog
Back in 2016, Just A Girl and Her Blog hit the $40K-a-month milestone. No doubt they are making more money per month in 2024. The site has been around since at least 2014, when they first started publishing their income reports.
The blog is run by Abby and her husband, Donnie, who handles the tech side of things. When you visit the site, you’ll notice that they’ve rebranded their site to Abby Organizes.
And as you may have guessed, their content revolves around organization. It’s a great niche to be in because there’s a lot of demand for tips and strategies, and there’s also room for selling products.
Unique products are what sets this blog apart from others. They have a shop full of great printables, spreadsheets and more that help viewers get organized.
They’ve also been featured in the media on channels like HGTV, Better Homes & Gardens and CountrySampler.
How does the blog make its money?
- Products, mostly eBooks and courses
- Affiliate marketing
- Ads

2. Jennifer Maker
Jennifer Maker proves that successful bloggers can be in competitive niches. Her blog is all about DIY projects and crafting, which we know can be a saturated market. But it took her just a few years to grow her site from just $33 a month to over six figures per month.
She started by mastering Pinterest, and then moved on to Facebook. After that, she started a YouTube channel that quickly got 220K+ subscribers.
Jennifer launched her blog back in 2014, and her awesome projects are what set her site apart from others.
Her income comes from a mix of products, ads and affiliate marketing.
Jennifer talks about her income on the Side Hustle podcast here.
3. Sarah Titus
Sarah Titus was homeless before she started her blog. In 2017, her blog earned her $981,036.62. Wow!
Sarah’s site focuses on a few things: marriage, printables, organization, finances and faith. She has a shop on her site that sells printable bundles aimed at families, homeschoolers and business owners.
Her shop is just one piece of the income puzzle, but it’s the biggest one. For the year she published this income report, her online shop made her $925,773. Undoubtedly, she’s making just as much or more in 2024.
Her site also makes money from:
- Affiliate marketing – $30K+
- Ads – $3,496.62
- Book sales on Amazon – $627.18
- $14,000 in misc. Income
She also made over $3,600 from network marketing, but this doesn’t really have anything to do with her blog.

4. Fat Stacks
Fat Stacks generated at least $93k in April 2023 from its portfolio of niche sites, putting them among the most successful bloggers. These earnings don’t even include revenue from the Fat Stacks blog.
One thing I will say is that Fat Stacks mentions using Koala to automate content creation. They use a small group of writers to mass-produce content and edit it. Be cautious about following this strategy because:
- AI writing is pretty bad.
- Search engines have been penalizing sites that use AI content
Now, the crazy thing about this income report is that it only features revenue from Mediavine. So, this portfolio of sites made over $90k in a single month mostly from Mediavine.
We don’t know how much these sites made from AdSense ads, affiliate marketing, or product sales – if at all.
Still, how impressive is that?
If you’re subscribed to Fat Stacks’ fantastic newsletter, you’re likely aware that their websites recently felt the impact of Google’s latest algorithm update. However, John shared that after connecting with Scott De Long, he completely revamped his blogging strategy. Now, he’s no longer reliant on Google or other social media platforms to drive traffic to his sites. Instead, he’s taken control of his business growth by implementing a well-planned email marketing system.
Fat Stacks doesn’t disclose any info about the sites in the portfolio. You’ll have to join his course to get more details.
But you can see the income report here. You can find more income reports in the blogging section on their site.
5. Finsavvy Panda
Technically, Finsavvy Panda made $64,612.37 over a quarter (about three months). But still, the blog is generating over $20K per month, which is nothing to sneeze at.
The blog has been around for at least 3.5 years. That’s excellent growth for any blog.
Finsavvy Panda is, as you may have guessed, all about finance. Ling, the owner of the blog, writes about budgeting, saving money and earning more money from home.
So, where did all of this income come from?
Ling breaks it down:
- Display ads: $5K+
- Affiliate marketing: $15K+
- Digital products: $2K+
Her expenses only came to a little over $1,500, so most of that money was profit.

6. Making Sense of Cents
Any list of successful bloggers should include the Making Sense of Cents blog. And just as the blog’s name suggests, this site is all about money. How to earn more, how to save more and how to live more.
The blog has been around for at least a decade. And even back in 2013, it was generating over $100,000 per year. In 2018, it started generating over $1.5 million per year, and that’s when they stopped disclosing their earnings.
There’s no doubt that this blog is making even more money today.
How does this site make money?
- Affiliate marketing
- Sponsored partnerships
- Display ads
- Courses
Her course about how to make money from affiliate marketing was the first one I bought, perfect for beginners!

7. Anne Moss
Anne Moss was featured on Niche Pursuits YouTube channel, and she started creating sites back in 1998. And while she doesn’t provide sites in her blog income reports, we do know she has 25 sites and makes $200 a month!
Here is the interview they published on their channel:
Her sites are special due to the vast size of them.
Monthly, she:
- Posts 1,000 articles
- Receives 5 million page views
Display ads and Amazon make Anne most of her money, but she has since started buying social traffic due to Google changes.
8. Dollarsprout
The Dollarsprout blog made $347,675 in just two months. At the time of the report, the duo had been blogging for 1,475 days, or just over four years. Just five months prior, they hit their first month of over $50k.
Sadly, they don’t provide an in-depth income breakdown.
But they did mention 1.19m page views in one month and 1.239m the next month. They do use affiliate links and ads on their site.
While their site isn’t much different from others, they teach people how to make money with side hustles, which is a good money maker.

9. Adam Enfroy
Adam Enfroy made $203k in 2019 during his first year of blogging, and in 2020, he made $812,718. What I want you to know is that these results are not normal. Adam is a unicorn because few sites will have 4.9 million visitors on their site in the second year.
He was a digital marketer prior to starting his blog, so he knew what he was doing from the start.
His income came from:
- $601,698 from 124 affiliate programs
- $69,318 from Mediavine
- $24,515 from digital product sales
- $115,788 from SEO consulting
Expenses for the year were $97,537. He does sell courses on how to start a blog and with thousands of students, you can see how easy it was for him to make money.

10. A Self Guru
One month and $78,000 in income sounds too good to be true, but it’s something that A Self Guru was able to do. The owner of the site is a former lawyer (they quit to blog), and she makes her money from:
- Selling legal templates
- Offering legal and business services
- Sponsorships
- Affiliate marketing
- Paid gigs
Right off the start, she made $67,375 from selling legal templates and services and another $11,000 from all other sources.
She seems to have been blogging for three years at the time she made $78k in a single month.

11. She Knows SEO
She Knows SEO doesn’t make $50,000 every month, but for this particular month, she had the goal to make $50k. Normally, she makes $20k a month. She was well on her way to making $80k when, all of a sudden, on the last day of the month, she made $30,000 in a single day.
She ended the month with $110k in revenue.
Income comes from multiple sources: affiliates, ads, courses, coaching and email sponsorships across four sites. Her sites include:
