I analyzed 78 blogger income reports to see where/how they generated $900k in August

Earlier this week I finished my analysis of 78 blogger income reports from August to see how their revenue is generated. What amazed me was these 78 bloggers generated close to $900k in revenue for the month using OVER 170 different revenue sources.

I took those 170 sources and broke them down into seven categories:

• Affiliates: $301,475.66
• Products and Services: $134,413.73
• Sponsorships: $130,674.65
• Advertising Network: $46,192.87
• Freelance: $36,831.42
• Consulting: $11,898.32
• Unclassified: $235,263.54

NOTE: Unclassified: Revenue that doesn’t fit into the previous six categories or the income reporter didn’t get an details on the specific revenue.

Without overwhelming you with too much data, I wanted to share the Top 5 Affiliate Programs and Top 5 Advertising Networks these bloggers used in August:
