I’ve been following this top blogger online for a few years now. I remember when he was documenting his income on his blog, making up to $80,000/month as a new blogger.

Today, he’s grown that to over $400K/month and he has been in the blogging game for just a few short years.

Here’s a breakdown of what he does, how he does it, and takeaways so you can put some of his strategies into practice.

Let’s go!

Is $400K as a blogger even possible?

According to Adam Enfroy, it is!

This isn’t the first I’ve heard of bloggers making six figures per month from blogging.

When I first started my blogging journey back in 2016, I was transitioning from e-commerce and was drawn to the blogging world for the income potential.

I was addicted to reading the Pinterest income reports from bloggers like Michelle Gardner-Schroeder who was making $60K+ per month at the time, from blogging.

A few months after discovering this, I hopped onto her affiliate course which teaches you her strategy for affiliate marketing that was making her over $50K per month as a blogger.

In under a month, I 10X’d my blogging income, as a result!

Bloggers DO make money

As an e-commerce store owner, I had formed many relationships with bloggers and worked closely with them in my business.

I always had the impression that bloggers were poor and they were doing it for their love of fashion, food, or whatever niche they were in, and that they were grateful to score freebies when the opportunity presented.

Boy, was I wrong.

Here’s how Adam made over $400K last month blogging.

$400K per month as a blogger

Here’s his YouTube video which breaks it all down…

Some quick points:

  • He made $431,775/month in May 2022
  • His blog is AdamEnfroy.com and it started in 2019
  • 5 income streams: affiliate income, ad revenue, course sales, sponsorship income, CPC revenue

Breaking down the income

So, there are 5 income streams that contribute to Adam’s $400K+ month:

  • Affiliate earnings
  • Ad revenue
  • Course sales
  • Sponsorship income
  • CPC revenue

How much from affiliate earnings?

Adam does an incredible job of using his blog posts to make money with affiliate marketing. He has a variety of different product reviews which are perfect for buyer intent.

Software reviews on webinar software, email marketing software, and podcasting software are examples of the kinds of blog posts you’ll find.

He shares that high ticket affiliate programs and recurring affiliate programs are the ones he goes after.

In the video above, he shows the dashboard for a few affiliate networks where he earns $1,800 to $7,500 or more per network.

How much from ad revenue?

Ad revenue is split from Mediavine ad network income from the blog and YouTube ad revenue.

Around $11K from Mediavine and $6K from YouTube for May 2022.

How much from course sales?

This is what Adam calls “half of the business.”

Course sales do tend to make up the bulk of blogging income for top bloggers, many times. I’m not surprised by this.

His course is Blog Growth Engine.

How much from sponsorship income?

This is money from brand partnerships where the brand pays the blogger/creator to talk about them with their audience.

For example, Adam could negotiate with a brand to share them in a high-performing blog post for a flat fee per month.

Some of the sponsorship spots he sells include:

  • Email newsletter
  • YouTube sponsorship
  • Article placements
  • New article placements

Brand deals can be very lucrative.

How much from CPC revenue?

CPC is cost per click.

The CPC revenue comes from brokered software company deals where all he has to do is drive traffic to his affiliate link and a click results in revenue for him.

Takeaways

Bloggers can make A LOT of money.

This isn’t the typical scenario for many bloggers. Most bloggers don’t make any money and a very tiny percentage make some money but not enough for full-time pay.

Around 5% of bloggers earn a full-time income, according to this source.

Through Adam’s background, experience, and skills, he’s been able to build a very profitable blog that he’s growing to a 10 million dollar business.

I am a big fan of him and his blog. I’ve bought his products and follow him online. If this is interesting to you, I recommend you do as well.
