I for one would love to see $2000 a month in extra income. Not happening yet, that's for sure.... I agree. I for one would love to see $2000 a month in extra income.

Certainly is interesting how things can be portrayed however. I couldn’t agree more. Certainly is interesting how things can be portrayed however.

Not many bloggers reach the $2,000 mark. I can confirm this because Problogger.net did a poll on how much each person makes a month and very few people said 2k. I agree with Ali.

I think wsj just focused on the elite group that are mostly political and internet based. Most self employed bloggers don't make $2000 - $10,000, heck they would be happy if they even hit a $1000 per month. This article in not accurate in anyway.

I looked at that myself and said that has to be a misquote. Maybe that was Pesos? Yeah just watch the spike in the Technorati number of blogs tracked now.

The funny thing is that many of them are passing around the same affiliate offers, or variations, and also are very far from making the ton of money their offer says YOU will make. Ok, so a very few people are ralking in big money from ads, but lets be honest here, only a select few are making more than 4 figures.

"Most self-employed bloggers take in between $2,000 and $10,000 a month from ad sales" should be "Most self-employed bloggers <b>wish they could,<b> take in between $2,000 and $10,000 a month from ad sales" I seriously doubt there's many self-employed bloggers outside of the 'A-List' that are pulling four figures a month on their blogs. I think this guy doesn't realize that for every successful A-Lister, there are 50,000 bloggers trying to make a go of it, and making a few hundred a month at the most.
