You could do worse, but in-house bloggers seem to be doing better. According to Kirkpatrick, respondents reported annual salaries ranging from $45k and $55k with benefits up to $70k, $80k and $90k with bonuses.

I have to wonder how the pay rates of these consultants reflect their practices in terms of white hat/black hat.
Again, this info shouldn't be considered accurate for the entire industry, considering the number of participants (and also considering that they're anonymous for that matter), but Read Write Web has certainly provided an interesting look into the possibilities of making money with blogs and social media. What are your thoughts? I'd love for any bloggers/consultants to post their earnings (anonymously of course) in the comments to see how they stack up against RRW's data.
