He's obviously an outlier as an A-list blogger who can land a book on the bestseller list, but the relative orders of magnitude probably apply to the rest of us mere mortals, scaled down appropriately.

But Buzzmachine is what got me appointed as a journalism professor at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism (worth not quite six figures a year) and consulting and speaking gigs (worth a few times that in good times) and the contract for this book (worth about double those gigs). So over a few years, my weblog is easily worth seven figures. My cost: $327 a year". Another good data point, and good transparency.
