私がWPBeginnerを始めて以来(15年以上前)、読者から最も多く寄せられる質問のひとつは、「WPBeginnerはいくら稼いでいるのですか?
作り話だと思う人もいるかもしれないが、そうではない。
GoogleでWPBeginnerを検索すると、関連検索キーワードの上位に「wpbeginner 収入」があることに気づくだろう。
今、何人かの人気ブロガーが詳細な収入レポートを共有していることは知っているし、彼らの中にはそれを中心にブランドを築いている人さえいる。何人かの読者から、WPBeginnerの収入レポートをシェアしたらもっと人気が出るのに、と言われたことがあるが、正直なところ、WPBeginnerがいくら稼いでいるからといって、読者に好かれることに興味はない。
WPBeginnerが公開するコンテンツの質の高さを読者に気に入ってもらい、フォローしてもらいたいのです。
しかし、WPBeginnerの収入に関する質問が絶えず出てくるので、時間をかけて、私の個人的なコアバリューを損なうことなく、可能な限り最善の方法で答えたい。
成功も失敗も一時的なものであり、つねに謙虚でいることが大切だと思います。これが、私がWPBeginnerの収入レポートを共有したことがない理由です。
収入報告を共有するブロガーは「見せびらかし」だと感じるが、それはあくまで私の意見だ。
ブログを始めたばかりの多くのユーザーが、このようなブログ収入レポートを読んで刺激を受けていることは間違いない。
しかし、WPBeginnerの収入をシェアしても、読者には共感しにくいので参考にならないと感じている。
なぜですか?
なぜなら、WPBeginnerは典型的なブログビジネスではないからです。広告やアフィリエイトリンクを売ってお金を稼ぐだけではありません。実のところ、WPBeginnerでは広告を買うことすらできません。私たちが推薦するアフィリエイト商品の大半は、私たち自身が使っているものです。
では、WPBeginnerは実際にどのようにしてお金を稼いでいるのでしょうか?
私たちは、以下のソフトウェアとWordPressプラグインを販売することで収益を得ています:OptinMonster、MonsterInsights、WPForms、SeedProd、WP Mail SMTP、RafflePress、All In One SEO、Smash Balloonなど。
当社のソフトウェアは、現在2,500万以上のサイトで使用されています。
そして、私たちのプラグインの人気の大きな理由は、WPBeginnerのマーケティング力です。
WPBeginnerのサイトではプラグインを直接販売していませんが、コミュニティで得た長年の好意が、各プラグインの独立したブランド構築に役立っています。
そのほかにも、WPBeginner Growth Acceleratorファンドを通じて、MemberPress、Pretty Links、Formidable Forms、Advanced Coupons、ThirstyAffiliates、Uncanny Automator、WooCommerce Wholesale Suiteなど、WordPressに特化したさまざまな企業に投資しています。
WPBeginnerの収入とは?
WPBeginnerの収入について考える最良の方法は、このブログが私が築くのを助けてくれたすべてを見ることです。すべてを合わせると、WPBeginnerブログは年間8桁の強力なビジネスの構築に貢献しています。
ブログ業界用語」を使うなら、私は8桁のブロガーということになるが、このレッテルは好きではない(これについては後述する)。
8桁のブロガー」というキーワードはあまり一般的ではないので、「8桁のブロガーってどういう意味?
6桁ブロガー」とか「7桁ブロガー」とかいうレッテルを貼っているブロガーを見たことがあるかもしれない。
本当の意味で、これらのラベルは次のように定義される:
- 6桁 – 年収10万米ドル以上
- 7桁 – 年収100万米ドル以上
- 8桁 – 年収1,000万米ドル以上
ブログを始めたばかりの頃は、”クールキッズ “クラブに入るのが夢だった。しかし、ブログの旅が進むにつれ、このレッテルが本当に嫌になった。
なぜですか?
というのも、多くのスパマーや “オンラインエキスパートになりたい人たち “が、このラベルを悪用して、新規ユーザーを騙して、彼らのでたらめなオンラインマネー/一攫千金コースや指導プログラムを買わせようとしているのを見たからです。
以下は、初心者を騙すためにラベルを悪用する人々の例である:
- その年のブログの訪問者数が10万人を超えたから(収益ではなく)、6桁ブロガーというレッテルを使っているブロガーを見たことがある。
- 私は、”専門家になりたい人たち “が、オンラインで100万ドル以上を稼いだ大企業に勤めていたために、7桁ブロガーというレッテルを使い、その手柄を自分のものにしている(基本的に嘘をついている)のを見たことがある。
- 私は、8年から10年にわたる収入を合算して、6桁や7桁のブロガーを自称する人々を見たことがある。これはMLMやマルチ商法でよく使われる手法だ。
- 6桁を稼ぐブロガーを何人か見たことがあるが、それは違う通貨での話だ(だから、米ドルを探しているのであれば、まったく正確ではない)。
基本的に、もしあなたがブログを始めたばかりなら、6桁や7桁のブロガーというレッテルを貼っている人に気づいたら、くれぐれも注意してほしい。
もしその人が、自分の成功を再現するのに役立つと思われるコースをあなたに売っているとしたら、99.9%の確率でそれは詐欺だ。時間やお金を無駄にしないでください。
オンラインでお金を稼ぐ近道はない。
サイトを実際のビジネスのように扱わなければならない。そう、本当の仕事なのだ。
足で稼ぐことを厭わない限り、ブログでお金を稼ぐことはできると思う。参考になる投稿をいくつか紹介しよう:
- WordPressでブログを書いてお金を稼ぐ “実証済みの “方法
- 新規WordPressサイトにトラフィックを誘導するための実用的なヒント
- すべてのWordPressサイトに必須のWordPressプラグイン
- WordPressインストール後に最も重要なこと

WPBeginner収入レポートの最終フィードバック
もしあなたがWPBeginnerの正確な収入額を求めてここに来たのなら、がっかりさせて申し訳ない。
実は、「WPBeginnerは今、いくら稼いでいるのか」とか「2年前、WPBeginnerはいくら稼いだのか」といった質問は無意味なのだ。
他のブロガーや起業家がいくら稼いでいるかを知ることは、あなたの成功には役立たない。
考えてみてほしい:ビル・ゲイツ、マーク・ザッカーバーグ、イーロン・マスク、ウォーレン・バフェットなどの純資産はすべて知っている。彼らの収入を知ったからといって、億万長者になれるわけではない。
しかし、正しい指標を理解し、それに集中することで、より賢い目標を設定することができ、結果としてオンライン・ベンチャーを成功に導くことができるのは間違いない。
もしあなたがブログやオンラインビジネスを始めたばかりなら、他のブロガーの収入に執着してはいけない。それはあなたを不安にさせ、不幸にする。自分の仕事に集中し、前進し続けましょう。
最も重要なのは、自分の仕事を本当に愛することだ。
私がWPBeginnerを始めた当初(15年以上前)、WPBeginnerはあまり儲かりませんでした。私は、WordPressでより多くのことができるように人々を支援することを楽しんでいました。
WPBeginnerの目標は、中小企業、ブロガー、非技術系のWordPressサイトオーナーにわかりやすく、最先端の役立つWordPressチュートリアルを提供することです。
そして今日まで、それが私たちの最優先事項です。私たちの価値観に忠実であり続けることが、WPBeginnerを世界最大のWordPress非公式リソースサイトに成長させたのだと思います。
WPBeginnerを引き続き応援してくださる皆様に感謝するとともに、皆様のビジネスの成長に役立つWordPressチュートリアルや製品をさらに提供していきたいと思います。

totally agree with Balkhi’s wise words – “The focus should be on understanding the right metrics and providing value, rather than obsessing over others’ income numbers.” It’s easy to get caught up comparing, but knowing others’ income doesn’t really help. really appreciate that WPBeginner stays true to its mission of providing high-quality, FREE WordPress tutorials instead of getting sidetracked by showing income report.their success is well-deserved
Jiří Vaněk
Great idea. I also read this article first to find out the exact number. However, the number does not matter. Great for me that you inspire me with your content and I have learned a lot here. And all this absolutely free. So if you’re earning eight figures, you definitely deserve it.

If there are only 0.1% of people who don’t scam using online courses and bragging content, then I know one of them. And I’m happy; there are still honest people in the world. Such great mentors like you are really rare these days.

Thank you for being opening and sharing like you have, but please know that there are plenty of us out here in internet land that feel that it is certainly nobody’s business unless you and your company want it to be there business.
Your company deserves every penny of the money that you have successfully earned. Like you said, your work isn’t a get rich quick scheme, and that in itself is one of the reasons why you continually have success (one of the many reasons).
Thank you for being an inspiration.

I couldn’t care less how much you earn. Lots of people gets lots of views and followers generating low kevel content and appealing to the lowest common denominator. But if your content doesn’t justify my time then I won’t be a visitor. That has never been the case with WP Beginner

Thanks for this post. Many bloggers and website owners compare their stats with others’ (revenue, followers) and I realized that that’s not the end-all and be-all of having a website. It’s about giving help/giving back to others. To be honest, I turned to WPBeginner when I migrated from free Wordpress to a self-hosted blog. Your generosity in giving tips and tricks helped me a lot. So super-thanks and keep on doing what you love.

Hi Syed.
Love your candidness. I’ve never liked those monthly income reports. Unsubscribed from a well known female marketer for spamming me with her income reports. No substance, just showing off trying to impress me.
Anyhow, looks like these 4 domain names are taken:-
8FigureBlog.com
EightFigureBlog.com
EightFigureBlogger.com
8FigureBlogger.com
Probably worth quite a bit to someone who earns $10M a year considering there won’t be that many who ever get to achieve those figures from blogging alone.
Editorial Staff
Thanks for leaving a comment Steve, and I appreciate your support.
Those are neat domains, and I hope those who own it don’t use it to scam others.

Hi Syed, This is Carolyn Garcia, I wanted to leave a comment because I truly believe in what you mentioned above, It should not matter what a person makes from their business 100% true, I am still a newbee blogger I have had my website since Dec 2017 Jan 2018 and still I haven’t made up any blog pages or content. Why because I have tons of notes, but still not understanding yet enough to launch jaydeandjewelsbaking.com I feel I need more to my site including above. Besides the point of my site, I have been offered many times to buy from different sites. Being a newbee I don’t have that kind of money to buy this one or that one, but yes I agree you have to watch for scams. I agree with you all the way, Thanks Sincerely Carolyn Garcia
Editorial Staff
Hey Carolyn,
I too sometimes get caught up with the curse of perfection. In my opinion, it’s best to just launch the blog and improve as you go along with reader’s feedback.
All the best in your journey

You say you do not like to brag.. On your instagram is a picture of your new Porsche..
Editorial Staff
I’m sorry if that came off to you as bragging. That’s not my intention. I shared that with my friends and family on Instagram, and it was the only picture since I got that car.
In my opinion, I’d be bragging if I was taking a vain picture of myself in that car every day.

Right way to put it. I am 2 months old in to blogging, aspires to be a publisher. Acquired couple of blogs and just starting. But there is very less genuinity in what I have seen till now whether it is flippa, or other platforms. Many so called bloggers are not actually bloggers but gold diggers, some are even con artists trying to manipulate beginners and sell them stuff of little value. On the other side, it is Good to know couple.of good people people like syed working for the over all betterment. I am sure that the more I know, the more I will find people helping others.

Hey come on now, not need for this bait-click level title and post.
If you do not want to tell your income (which IS valuable because it gives an idea of whether blogging, etc is WORTH IT financially) then re title the post as “Why I will not state my income publicly”.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for leaving a comment. I did give a pretty clear idea of the WPBeginner income by sharing the range, and I hope that leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind that blogging can be a very successful venture.

The next time someone asks you what you make, tell them, “Not enough for all the work I do.” and then ask then to send you their W2 and 1099 forms.
What difference does it make to your users what you make? You provide a service that the market has found valuable. When they don’t find it valuable anymore they don’t have to purchase from you.
Of all the questions you have to deal with to provide excellent service on your products, asking what you make is nuts!
Keep doing the great work you do!

I’m not interested in the amount of revenue, but it is important to know what generates your revenue. As it comes, in part at least, from your plug-ins etc. then that flavours the value of some of your recommendations. As long as the plugins do what’s on the label, and satisfy essential security and integrity then there isn’t a major concern there for me. From your post, It does sound as if you might be a little embarrassed by your revenues though.
Whatever you do, please don’t stop enjoying what you and your team do.
Editorial Staff
Hi Richard,
I’m definitely not embarrassed by my revenues, and definitely love what we do here at WPBeginner. We have an amazing team and we love serving our awesome community of users.
I would say though that I do not like to bring attention to my revenues and finances for a variety of reasons including security for my family.

Excellent article! I’ve recommended WPBeginner to many budding bloggers, and this article solidifies my reasoning. I appreciate your commitment to your values.
It is so easy in the blogging space to get discouraged when numbers are the bottom line. I’ve found myself there many times as a very small-time blogger. But my purpose behind blogging becomes so much clearer when I recalibrate my focus on what I love — inspiring and helping people.
If we can all keep our focus where it belongs, the business part of blogging will grow so much more naturally. But I confess, it’s hard not to get distracted in the comparison game.
Thank you so much for the gentle reminder to stay in my lane, do what I love, and work hard toward my goal.
Keep up the great work!!
Editorial Staff
Thanks Katie. Every word you just said is so true. I’ve found the exact same in my journey as well.

I am a Nigerian and I follow wpbeginner regularly. Some few days ago, the question crossed my mind, “How much does Wpbeginner earn? “, given the fact that I am struggling to monetize my own blog. I must say your closing statement has encapsulated everything. How much you earn in value doesn’t matter. It will only cause unhappiness, worry and maybe jealousy if I find out. What matters most, is me utilising the resources you have provided to grow my own blog.
Thanks for the good work. Keep it up. I love the Wpbeginner team and I hopeto meet u guys someday.
