Infographic: Blogging Statistics

Share this article > > >

Here’s some interesting statistics about the world of blogging from Blogging.org.

Among the highlights:

  • More bloggers use WordPress (43%) than Blogger (35%).
  • 48% of bloggers are Caucasian; 38% African American.
  • There are 42 million blogs in the U.S.
  • There are 500,000 daily posts.

Perhaps what I found most interesting is related to the business of blogging. Unfortunately, most bloggers don’t — or can’t — make a business out of it:

  • 81% of bloggers of the 1,000 surveyed never make $100 from blogging.
  • Only 8% make enough to support a family.
  • 9% make enough to sustain their personal lifestyle while blogging 4-6 hours per day.
