How can one make money starting a blog(top selling blogs)
Let me approach the answer a little differently.
What if we looked at the world’s top-earning blogs that came on the scene just about a decade ago, briefly analyzing their success strategy and see if we could pick out valuable insight on how to make money starting a blog.
Take your dive now. First, into the deep end.
Android is a mobile operating systemdeveloped by Google. It is used by several smartphones and tablets. Examples include the Sony Xperia, the Samsung Galaxy, and the Google Nexus One.
The Android operating system (OS) is based on the Linux kernel. Unlike Apple’s iOS, Android is open source, meaning developers can modify and customize the OS for each phone. Therefore, different Android-based phones often have different graphical user interfaces GUIs even though they use the same OS

#1: $14 million per month.
FOUNDERS: Arianna Huffington, Kenneth Lerer, Jonah Peretti and support from Andrew Breitbart.
YEAR OF LAUNCH: 2005.
AREA OF INTEREST: Politically liberal news and opinion website. Feature-rich also in entertainment, culture, technology, and lifestyle. Content created in localized and international editions, widely translated to serve these verticals.
SOURCE OF INCOME: Sponsored advertising across its various channels, and is considered the most successful blog of its kind by far.
Huffington Post was acquired by AOL in 2011 for $315m and currently is known as HuffPost.
SUCCESS FACTS: According to a Businessinsider report on Huffington Post,before it was taken over by AOL,”it was producing 600-1000 pieces of original content every day, be it on tech, social issues, sports or business, with between 10-100 going viral, and then doubling down on what was working.” **Working hard!
Not discounting the obvious celebrity connections Arianna Huffington enjoyed as the wife of a Senator, the editorial team ensured that their articles were always attention-grabbing, timely and SEO optimized. **Working smart!
It was also one of the early blog sites that encouraged readers to make comments and start discussions below articles of interest. It also encouraged social shares across various social media channels which has helped to build a loyal community of followers. **Being people-oriented!
#2: $2.5m per month.
FOUNDERS: Michael Arrington and Keith Teare.
YEAR OF LAUNCH: 2005.
AREA OF INTEREST: Publishers of technology industry news, especially the business side of tech, analyzing emerging tech trends and new tech products, and regular profiling of popular tech businesses, with a huge interest in tech start-ups.
SOURCE OF INCOME: CPM advertisement and fixed weekly and monthly advert slots.
Having built up such page views per month and setting such CPM rate, you can appreciate why CPM [cost per thousand views] is such a good money spinner for them. The site updates by the minute to constantly remain richly informative to its particular kind of visitors.
Just like HuffPost, TechCrunch was acquired by AOL in 2010 for what was rumored to be in the neighborhood of $30m.
SUCCESS FACTS: They have made themselves the “center of the tech reporting universe” by combining quality writing with deep knowledge of the tech industry.
TechCrunch shows a keen interest in and supports tech start-ups to the point of running, across the world’s major cities, what is known as the “battlefield for start-up ideas”, where the best ideas are rewarded and exposed to sponsorship in Techcrunch Disrupt.
**Talk about open commitment!
There’s also the Crunchbase where information on acquisitions, everything start-up and technologically newer ways of doing things can be accessed.
Michael Arrington was a hard-working founder who, despite his many business and professional commitments, insisted on always having only top quality, industry-relevant articles published. Himself crafting several a day. Its early popularity was helped when it broke the news first about Google’s acquisition of Youtube, with other outlets linking to it when reporting the same story. **Staying on top of the news, early!
