Is it impossible to make money from blogging in 2024?

Hello, Fujii, I'm strong.

I started a blog in the fifth grade of elementary school and actually started monetizing it in 2014. There was a time when I monetized my blog by putting advertisements on it.

And as of 2024, can you make money blogging?

If you don't have time to read, answer briefly. The answer is"Yes."is. You can make money blogging in 2024.

But I'm not going to say "it's easy to make money with a blog".

Rather, I will one-sidedly talk about how difficult it is to make money on a blog in 2024.

In articles on other sites, it is said that "even monkeys can make money with a blog", but I want you to know the difficulty of making money on your blog alone, so I will slam the reality to beginner bloggers who dream of a free life.

Profits are unstable and there are no guarantees

First of all, how much do you plan to earn from blogging? I don't know what the goal is, but if you are thinking of starting a WordPress blog as a full-time blogger and making money on the royal road with Google Adsense and ASP product sales, please refer to the following.

At firstBloggers have no guarantees.

Bloggers sound good, but unlike working for a company, there is no guarantee and no social trust. There are many freelancers in the world who call themselves bloggers.

There are various types of money you need, such as living expenses, pensions, health insurance, taxes (resident tax, income tax, consumption tax, etc.). To live as a full-time blogger, you need to be prepared and have the ability to move around when you can't eat.

In addition,Blog revenue is not stable every month.Expect the risk of search engine rankings fluctuating, deals being stopped, and Google algorithms causing your blog's revenue to zero.

• Suspension of affiliate projects
• Decrease in compensation unit cost
• Google Adsense Hunt
• Google algorithm variation
• Google Penalty
• ASP account freeze
• Flames

The risk that can be assumed in this is a sharp decrease in revenue due to changes in Google's algorithm or suspension of projects.

I know of a case where a blogger who earned 100,000 yen per month in Adsense earned 100,000 yen per month in the past, but his earnings decreased to 3,000 yen per month due to algorithm changes. Of course, there is no guarantee for bloggers, so there is no remedy for reduced revenue (of course).

The fatal thing is "social trust". Bloggers do not belong to an organization, so they are not trustworthy. Even bloggers can rent rental properties, but they cannot rent if their income is considered unstable.

In the first place, they are considered freelancers in society. If there is no revenue, it is considered a NEET.

If you are in your early 20s, it is possible to aim for a blog meal with a risk preparation, but I do not recommend it.

Well, so far, for those who are starting a blog with the aim of becoming a full-time blogger. From here, I will talk about why it is more difficult to earn money on a blog.

Why is it difficult to make money with blogging?

And the key issue is "Blogging is hard to earn" is. This is because blogs have low LTV.

LTV (Customer Lifetime Value) is the total amount of money a person pays themselves in their lifetime.

Let's say you go to a beauty salon every month. Make reservations with the same menu every month.

Then you pay a fixed amount of money to the beauty salon every month. Customers make reservations on a fixed basis every month.

As a result, the LTV of the beauty salon will increase. Because I go to the same beauty salon every month.

LTV changes depending on the unit price of products and services and the frequency of visits. Please see below for a detailed explanation of LTV.

What is the calculation method, meaning, and improvement method of >>LTV (Life Time Value)?

Blogs have low LTV

Blogs have a low LTV.

If you have enthusiastic readers of your blog, they will visit your blog again and again. You may also buy the products you introduce.

However,Most visitors will not pay for your blog on an ongoing basisis.

There are many projects that say "30% affiliate commission for the first purchase", so if you stick to the projects you handle, you won't be able to make money from your blog.

With Adsense ads, it can only cost 30 yen per click, so the unit price is low, and it is necessary to increase the number of blog visitors.

That's why it's hard to make money on a blog.You can earn more money if you work part-time.

【Conclusion】Can't you make money from blogging?

You are free to blog or not.

However, anyone who has been watching the blogging community for 5 years will understand what I wrote in this article.The reality is that people in this industry who say "you can make money with blogging" are also replaced at regular intervalsis.

Rather than dreaming about it on a blog with excessive delusions, it is often much more profitable to earn money from an hourly part-time job.

While there are successful people who claim to "make money by blogging", there are more people who are unknown and unable to make money.

It's a pessimistic story, but it's not impossible to earn. It is relatively easy if the target amount you aim for is low.

However, if you convert it into self-sufficiency, there are a lot of bloggers who work for less than the hourly wage of a part-time job at a convenience store in the countryside.

I hope it will be a material for calm judgment. If you have any concerns, please write them in the comments. See you.
