There'll be a big lump (bell) in the center, showing that the "center" of the collective probably earn $X/mth on avg. To the left ( X) of the lump, there's everyone else. However, it's possible that for blogs, the curve is skewed to the right -- i.e., majority of blogs fall below the lump. (To the right because it means far fewer blogs earn enough to support a full-time income.) So that's supports your implied theory: most people who earn a living online doing something either directly or indirectly related to blogs probably do so working for someone else. They'd have to be, if the bell curve is truly in effect. The bell curve would suggest that the average blogger isn't earning all that much and if they want an online career, they'll be working for one of the blogs that is earning.
