[Air-L] Studies on blogs in US, UK, Germany and Switzerland on how much bloggers make from their blogs

[Kristin Dagmar Eckert]

Hi everyone

I am searching for studies, articles and information on how many bloggers get how much income from their blogs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland each. I looked around and found some indications in news media articles but not studies. I was wondering if studies on the issue in any of the four countries exist (ideally also with gendered data).

I have indications in my dissertation project on a large quantity of commercial blogs in the U.S. and the U.K. and would like to put that into context of previous research. In Germany and Switzerland my interview participants indicated commercial blogs and income from blogs is rare, equally I would like to back that up with studies/articles/information on the matter.

I am grateful for any links and hints.

Thank you very much.

Best,
Stine
