I have a multi-author sports blog that gets close to 50,000 hits a month. I barely make $100-200/month, which I definitely need to cover hosting costs as the traffic comes in large bursts (i.e hundreds to thousands within an hour), and I need a server that can handle that kind of traffic. So right now, I am barely breaking even.
I have two other sites that get regular 100-200 visitors through search engines, but don't make much from those either.
Blogging can make money, but it takes a lot of time to get to that stage. Also, you need to be in the right niches to make a lot.
Make a product man...
A $50 product, at a conversion rate of just 1% would get you $250,000 (assuming all hits are unique)... what's your unique hit total?
Of course that's hypothetical but you could definitely be making some $$ off 50,000 visitors a month.
