How to Monetize and Grow your Business through Blogging:
Adding Google's famous Adsense program is one of the most common and efficient ways to monetize a blog. The Adsense program enables website owners to enroll in the program free of charge. Adsense works by displaying text, image, and video advertisements. Revenue is generated on either per click or per impression basis. Adsense has become the preferred method of monetization because the ads displayed are subtle not like banner advertisements. Advertisements are also content relevant and often times geographically specific.
Selling products such as e-books, courses, reports, or tele-seminars is another way many businesses generate revenue.
Selling advertising space to non-competing companies for fixed monthly rates or for pay per click program is another way companies generate revenue.
Ask for donations to help support and maintain the site.
Create an electronic newsletter. Publish it as frequently as you like - one to seven times per week. In order to set up the messages, visit www.verticalresponse.com or www.aweber.com more information.
Add affiliate products in the newsletter as well as on the blog margin. Offer affiliate links embedded in the newsletter. www.clickbank.com offers a wide variety of information products. However, before offering affiliate products, review the product’s quality and the product developer’s reputation.
Large companies offer affiliate programs such as 5% or 10% commission on everything sold through the site. In fact, if you publish a blog on skin care trends and sell skin care products, affiliate with www.bluefly.com or www.drugstore.com for extra revenue. To find affiliates, visit www.hydranetwork.com, www.commissionjunction.com and www.linkshare.com.

Do people really click on those little ads when they come to read your blog? I don't, and I read several blogs per day. Maybe that is the next bubble - advertising.
