Highest paid bloggers all over the world are making hundreds of thousands of dollars EVERY SINGLE MONTH!
I cannot even begin to imagine what I would do with such money but hey, they are definitely making it big.
One thing which stands out for most of these bloggers is their willingness to make things work and the hard work they put into building and monetizing their blogs.
If you are a blogger with similar ambitions as me, you must read this!
If you just want to stay informed or be inspired by the earnings of the highest paid bloggers, this is for you too.
If you have always wanted to start a blog of your own, you may want to stop procrastinating and start a money-making blog by following this step-by-step guide on how to start your own successful blog.
These bloggers earn five to six figures every month! Yes, you read that right; every month!
They are the highest earning bloggers who inspire me, and not necessarily THE highest earning bloggers through research. I am listing them in no particular order.
As I said, this is not based on an empirical study. You can add some other bloggers I may have missed in the comments section, so we all read and get inspired.
There are lots of bloggers who make a lot of money blogging and this list may not be the ‘overall’ highest paid bloggers, but these bloggers are simply amazing and successful and will inspire you. Bear in mind that this list excludes ‘news media blogs’ such as Huffpost.
I want to focus on individuals who have turned their blogs into money-making businesses while blogging in niches they are crazy about or have grown to love.
Like many other bloggers who wish to turn their blogs into five, six or even seven-figure blogs, these bloggers are killing it and remind me that nothing is impossible with hard work and persistence. They possess the traits of successful bloggers.
Without getting into our heads too much, let’s get into it. These are twelve of the highest paid bloggers of our time whose earnings will inspire you.
