How much money can be made from writing and publishing articles on a website depends on several factors, according to the document. These factors include how successful the site is at getting search engine traffic, having engaging content, focusing on a niche topic, the size of the site, and the number of sites owned. While some people claim to make $10,000 per month, most people should expect to make $500-1000 per month from a single successful niche site through affiliate links and ads. Building additional sites can increase one's monthly income over time.
