These highest paid bloggers rarely post their income reports on a regular basis. The earning gap between high and low-income earners in Cameroon is so huge that you would automatically know which professional blogger is struggling to survive.
Google Adsense and Blogging in Cameroon
In 2019 and more recently in 2023, the Google algorithm received an update which purportedly resulted in an income shrink. AdSense is owned by Google and is currently the largest advertising network in the world.
So it is understandable to realize why most bloggers who relied heavily on it were left with a sour taste in their mouths.
Nevertheless, a few websites in Cameroon such as Kamerpower, ‘Le Journal du Cameroun’, etc benefited from the update. This has seen a rise in their income over time.
The Blogging Market in Cameroon
Out of the approximately six million Cameroonians that access the internet daily, more than half of this number visit various blogs that contain relevant content.
The websites that benefit most are those owned by established media houses like CRTV (Cameroon Radio Television). It should be noted that relatively new websites such as temovision.com and Hippo Tech Group. have a sizeable stake; they are even threatening the established blogs.
One behavior about the Cameroonian online community is that they go with time, they search for content trending at that time. If there is a blog that posts content that resonates with online visitors, it will certainly go viral.
This is the reason why blogs such as Mimi Mefo Infos as well as fashion, jobs, Music, and lifestyle blogs have gained grounds in recent years.
Also, blogs on Facebook benefit from Facebook monetization and sponsored posts to generate some revenue.
