We all want to make money from our blogs and become six figure bloggers, don´t we? in order to become a successful six figure blogger you´ll have to work a lot, the first step is to become four figure bloggers. What exactly is a four figure blogger? Simple all bloggers earning from $1000 to $9999 per year with their blogs this means between $100 to $999 per month. Ok you may think that it is not an impressive amount but I can assure you that many successful bloggers were earning that amount when they began blogging.

Two weeks ago I received an email from a friend who has a blog about concept cars, he was telling me that he earns $250 each month from AdSense and that he was not very happy with that result. Then I asked him how old was his blog, and he answered: “Just a couple of months…” , I told him that it was a great amount for a two month old blog and that if he continues with the great work he´ll become a four figure blogger by the end of the year, well I don´t know if he knew what I was talking about , the point is that it is ok to earn $100, $150 or $250 per month you´re in your way to become a six figure blogger!.

2. Your blog has to have more than 100 posts this means an average of more than 10 posts/month.

3. Your Blog has to have a RSS Feed subscription service, believe it or not I´ve seen blogs with no RSS options available.

4.If you are using FeedBurner in your blog, then you´ll have to have at least 500 subscribers.
