And an Interesting Side Note About "Journalism"
Read Write Web conducted a survey with some quite interesting results. They asked 20 bloggers and social media consultants (that they claim to know and trust) what kind of money they make with their blogging gigs. …
The Numbers
It looks like the average rate on a per-post basis is $25, though some reported to make as little as $10 and as much as $80. "Let's say these people are half-time pro-bloggers making $25 per post, writing 3 posts per day," Kirkpatrick says. "That's $75 per half-day, a little less than $20 per hour, about $1500 to $1750 per month for half time work. Take two of those jobs at once, do it for a year, and you'll make about $40k.“
You could do worse, but in-house bloggers seem to be doing better.
According to Kirkpatrick, respondents reported annual salaries ranging from $45k and $55k with benefits up to $70k, $80k and $90k with bonuses. …
Those in-house bloggers still didn't make as much as the participating social media consultants who make as little as $150 an hour, and most commonly about $300 an hour. …”
