Being good is neither necessary or sufficient for getting a high paying job.

Being able to get in front of a hiring manager who is offering a high paying job and convincing them to hire you is the only thing. And having a very popular website with a ton of traffic is more likely to get you in front of a hiring manager with a good job than actually being good.
