16 Year Old Girl, Chloe Spencer Makes $30 Per Day From Blogging
Posted by Su Sheng Loong on 09 May 2008 at 10:57 am | Tagged as: Blogging
Have you tried making money from blogging after reading the Blog Profit Blueprint that I offer on this blog? Frankly speaking, it is pretty hard to earn few bucks from blogging although it is very easy to start a blog. In order to make money blogging, you need to have strong determination and persistence. Otherwise, you can hardly receive any single cents no matter how diligently you blog.
Today, I would like to share a blogging success story with everyone here. The story is about a 16 year old girl who makes $30 per day from blogging. You might say, “$30 per day is so little, nothing special about it.” Well, you better ask yourself, how much money have you made on the Internet so far? If you are already making more than $30 per day when you are just 16 years old or even younger, then that’s fine. But they are so many people out there trying hard to make few hundred dollars online and many of them just fail.
If you multiplies $30 with 30 days, it should be roughtly $900 a month. In addition, you try to convert $900 into Malaysia Ringgit. It is equivalent to RM2880, let the currency conversion rate be 1USD:RM3.2! Can you imagine a 16 year old girl already makes RM2880 per month by just having a blog?
The girl, Chloe Spencer blogs at www.neopetsfanatic.com. Initially, she found out that there was a great demand for information about Neopets. So she started blogging about any tips or cheats that work in Neopets. Her father, Stephan Spencer is good at doing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) so Chloe’s blog manages to get high ranking in the search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, Msn and so fourth.
The mistake Chole Spenser did was creating her blog at wordpress.com. In fact, wordpress.com does not allow people to monetize the blogs. Therefore, she moved her blog to a self-hosted one. She averages $30 per day from Google Adsense alone and she does not even have to blog everyday. Now, she just has to spend few hours a month maintaining and updating her blog.
The following is a video that shows her speech at a conference. Hopefully, you will like it!

wow..
dats great..
hehehe.. she really know how to tap the market interest..
u kno why i use nuffnang compared to adsense? hehe..
coz looking at adsense which is american, uses american ads.. but since my reader population is malaysian mostly, then nuffnang seems more logical right, coz the ads is more relevant to malaysians..
another thing is, i can use innit, something like the digg u use…actually i oso have digg hahahaha.. but Innit is malaysian oso, all the malaysian readers r there, so easier to pull in traffic from there rather than digg which is american reader, but then my post r mostly malaysian related. hehehe.. duno whether i sound logical or not.. hahaha.. not good at internet stuffs anyway.. hehe
=P
Hi Teddy,
I understand what you are trying to say. After all you target Malaysian visitors, not Internet surfers from other countries. It is something like if you want to promote something by using social networking site in Malaysia, you should go to Friendster.com instead of Facebook.com.
Although my readers on this blog are mainly Malaysians, I still use American or world-wide based widgets or applications. I prefer Adsense over Nuffnang is because I have got some revenue in Adsense account.
What the…. She looks older than she actually is… LOL !
Frankly speaking, if you compare this girl with Ashley Qualls who is only 17, indeed, Ashley is much more successful!
Hopefully both of us can be very successful in IM soon. Gambatte!
P/S: I’m really very interested in “Black Hat” now, HOHO!
u have any idea how much is Adsense pay per unique visit? i mean looking at ur daily earnings…
advertlet is like 30+ visits only RM0.015 right? i saw on my account, very pathetic leh.. hehhee
Hmm, I don’t know much about the revenue and pay system but I can say that if you have a blog that has many visits it’s worth a try! after all, the best way to make money online is to invest in advertisements XD
Ezra,
not easy to get very high hits lor…unless u kno wat the readers like…
but i guess ur anime review is hot…
i used to have adsense too.. but after a while i get tired. adsense look messy in my blog.. plus people hardly click on it since it looks like insecure links for those who are not IT blinded.
ever heard about get paid via posting your blog? try this : http://socialspark.com/splash
btw, i envy this girl… how lucky!
Wffgoal: I am not really sure how old she is by now. She could be 17 years old this year. Of course Ashley Qualls is far more successful than Chloe Spencer. But the difference is Chloe Spencer makes money from blog and I guess Spencer’s work is easier to do compared to Qualls’.
Teddy: Well, Google Adsense does not pay you based on the unique visitors you have on your blog. In fact, it pays you by looking at how many visitors are actually clicking the advertisement displayed on your blog. So even if you have got tons of visitors but none of them click on the advertisement, you are really unlucky and Google is not going to pay you a single dime. I do not really know how Advertlet and Nuffnang work but I think both of them are doing the came thing. After all, this is pay-per-click advertisement.
Ezra: What you said is true. Somehow, your advertisement revenue depends on the number of visitors you have on your blog. Although some technical stuff still matter, at the end of the day, only those blog with real large visitors can earn money.
Faisal: If you have been to any blogs owned by real probloggers like Yaro Starak, you will notice that they do not display Adsense or any type of pay-per-click advertisement on their blog. This is because they think that Adsense is not a stable income source compared to other forms of advertisement like fixed paid banner advertisements. In fact, there are many other websites that reward bloggers for writing posts, such as reviewme.com, payperpost.com and so fourth. The reason why I do not like this way of making money from blog is you have to write something what the advertisers request for. For example, you might have to write a review on a software that has nothing to do with your blog. Perhaps you can get some relevant request but I just do not like this method and it is tedious. I prefer writing interesting content to attract traffic, then only monetize my blog by placing some advertisement. At least it won’t affect my content and readership.
You got your point there sheng loong. But maybe if the topic related to your blog, its a bonus? hehe.
1st attract the traffic, 2nd share things that can create money. sounds good tho
Yes, if you are getting a topic related to your blog then you will enjoy writing the post and receive money. That is why many people blog about technology and software as normally these topics are what advertisers request for.
That is the beauty of making money from blogs. Nevertheless,content and traffic are always more important than how you monetize your blog.
In fact, there are so many existing “money making tools”. You can always “google up” all the tools you want. It’s not necessarily to say that it’s very difficult to generate some revenues from Google Adsense.
Actually there are lots of people who only make money from only 1 money making tool which is Google adsense.
As long as you put enough of focus and tactics of your Google Adsense, you should be fine with it.
As Sheng Loong said, content and traffic are indeed more importantly crucial for any “websites” except Blogs.
LOL, Sheng Loong, MY TANGAN IS VERY GATAL NOW !!! I would like to re-create my personal English blog once again ! HAHA, feel like wanted to write something that is useful to the society, HEHE!
You are right, WyggGoaL. There are various money making methods on the Internet. Other than Adsense, there are many other Internet business models which can earn even more income.
The key ingredient is FOCUS. As long as you focus enough on one particular method, you will eventually make some money.
Why do you say so? I mean content and traffic are very important for blog monetization. Unless you are performing some black hat methods, then it is fine.
I am looking forward to visiting your new blog. Do not forget to inform me once you are done.
I found out that most people that came to me blog via google are looking for movie and politic. Just wonder why…
I tracked them by FEEDJIT
Then you may write more about movie and politics, if you would like to. These topics are hot nowadays and can attract quite a lot of traffic to your website.
Faisal, how long have you been blogging by the way?
I think you got me wrongly,
“Quote: As Sheng Loong said, content and traffic are indeed more importantly crucial for any “websites” except Blogs.”
This simply means that the content and traffic are really important for any websites AND “also blogs”.
HoHo, maybe I should write in this manner : As Sheng Loong said, content and traffic are indeed more importantly crucial for any “websites” “other than” Blogs.
LOL ! Enjoy !
I think I misinterpreted what you said. So we both agree with the importance of content and traffic to blogs.
Hi there , I must say that you have a great information on your blog. Even I could not understand the whole article it is nice to know that people are writing also for neopets easy money as that is how i found you on Google , anyway just i stop it to say hello and posted my thought on your blog comment section. Cheers and keep growing your blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Chloe Spencer’s blog has got high search engine ranking and that is why she manages to earn that much.
wow. her neopets cheats site is just awful. plenty of wrong info given there, some even being risky to the neopets account. hardly any useful updates.
it hurts to see such extremely lousy content earn so much..
i guess its just the search engine optimisation -.-
Hi dc,
I am not playing Neopets nowadays so I cannot comment about it. But I also find that she seldom updates her blog and yet she still has got high search engine ranking and traffic.
