Podcast–How Bloggers Make Money

How Bloggers Make Money Podcast (534x800)

Warm up… It’s October! I’m excited because I love Fall Running and there are so many races…

And in random news… Black hole of cell service??

Today’s main podcast topic

I’m answering questions on how bloggers make money. But I want to share a disclaimer – I’m not an expert on … well, really anything (except being a redheaded Mexican). So check with the IRS, your accountant and other official resources to know what laws and rules apply to you. There are resources below for more information but always do your own research on important things like finances, health, safety.. etc.

How do Bloggers Make Money

1. @runningduck Random but if you are “paid” via product, do you have to declare the value of that product (retail or wholesale) for taxes? Do you solicit companies or are they recruiting you for promotion? I really enjoy your feed – it’s a nice mix of product, personal, and fun. Keep it up!!
For bloggers –

Do you need to disclose things companies send? And other tax tips and info can be found on Katy Widrick’s post ‘Do I have to disclose’

2. hungryrunnergirl Does Vegas get paid?

@acinthe808 @hungryrunnergirl I think Vegas should get some kickback…or paid vacation somewhere.

@runeatrepeat @acinthe808 @hungryrunnergirl Vegas always eats too fast and then barfs. So I feel like we’re even.

3. @strick51 Do you know what your yearly income is with and without products? Especially shoes and things that you really do use and therefore don’t have to purchase? I’m just curious what the approximate pay grade is for a full-time blogger. Thanks! 🙂

I found some websites with information how much bloggers make….

How Much Food Bloggers Make via the Huffington Post

How Much Money Do Bloggers Make via The Sits Girls

4. @tcashsymbolI’m curious how much YOU have to reach out to THEM to get a sponsorship? What percentage contact you first??

5. @sammynystrom What is your biggest source of revenue? How do you gather the traffic to your site?Now – Sponsored posts and instagram.

Right now it’s sponsored posts and sponsored social media.

It used to be ads, then it was  brand partnerships.

I also make some money from Advocare (that’s the company that makes the 24 Day challenge and Spark – probably the two main products I use from them).

And I think it will continue change.

6. @mylittlerunnergirl Was making a living your intent or did it just evolve into that? If it was your intent, were you really fearful of beginning? @runeatrepeat

7. gt4313 I’d be curious how consistent the pay is for successful bloggers such as yourself. Are some months wildly different, which would make it hard to plan or budget? I think that part would make me nervous. You seem to rock it, and I love your “not fancy” spirit with it.
