So many people start blogging with the hope of making a full time income, but I’m yet to find a figure that certifies you a ‘Pro Blogger’. Obviously it depends on where you live and the exchange rate from Dollars to your currency but wouldn’t it be great to have a definitive figure to aim for?

A lot of talk on the subject revolves around the idea that $100 is the target to make a blogger professional so lets see how that breaks down in three different currencies;

Obviously these figures are before tax. I’m not sure of the tax systems in countries outside the UK so I can only show the amount after income tax for the GBP, which is;

£13,025.40

In my opinion the figures suggest that $100 a day would certainly be enough to survive but with the likes of John Chow making $405 a day, there’s no reason not to go higher!

It seems to me when you put this in to perspective it becomes a lot easier to achieve. Everyone wants to be earning like John but to survive purely on blogging you need only earn a quarter of what he does; it’s not a walk in the park but it’s no climb up Mount Everest either.

It is worth remembering that online income will fluxuate; sometimes due directly to the actions you take and sometimes due to events outside your control. It’s not guaranteed that if you’re making $100 a day one month that you will the next, so be sure you’ve got a sustainable income before you quit your day job!
