Writing a blog is a good idea, but you will need to generate traffic to your blog which can time consuming.
I have recently tried paid online surveys. I find this to be the fastest way to start making money. It is normally free to sign up. You probably won't make a ton of money, but its a start.

1. Find something you're interested in
2. Register a domain name
3. Use word tracker or some other s/w to find out the key words people are looking for related to your subject but aren't that popular on other websites
4. Develop a website with some decent content on your subject of interest based around those keywords
5. Promote some affiliates related to your topic on your site
6. Presell their stuff with your excellent, interesting and informative content who will then pay you when people click through from your website to buy their products.
It's tough, but making money ain't easy. If people tell you it is, they're lying. Who was it who said "the harder I work, the luckier I get?"
Loads of good info here:
http://www.associateprograms.com/articles/188/1/Affiliate-Program-Tutorial
Of course, I've never done it, but I'd love to. I'm just not interested in anything or don't have the guts.
So I stick to my crappy surveys and make about �100 a month. AND BY THE WAY - if you click through from someone's website to join a survey or buy a book or anything like that, then it's normally a referral, so they will benefit. My top ten tips for starting survey taking if you're interested are here:

William for a guy who hasn't written a blog you have given gave a very good analysis of it. I too haven't writen a blog, I am very busy with my offline job, but I have studied it for months and those were my ideas too.
You should try it William , there has to be something you are interested in, you write very well, you really have a knack for writing, I have read some of your other posts .
About 1998 a friend of mine living next door to me started e-commerce. I think 1 of the reasons I didn't also was because of fear of failure among other things. I was starting a business offline at the time too I have been doing good at, not great .
My friend was one of MSNBC's top 50 entrepenuers in 2000 I think and now has a beautiful home and makes well into 6 figures. He would have helped me as much as I asked. I wonder what kind of opportunity I missed.
Don't procrastinate too long, you never get anywhere not taking chances is my advice to anyone, but do your research.
Hard work gets you a long ways.

I have a blog, but that's different. A blog you don't really make money from. A real website you do. Thanks for the comments, I might just give it a go. One day.
Can your offline business be promoted online? If so, I'm sure you could apply those same techniques. I'm available. Ha ha.

Writing blogs is a great way to get started but you need to make sure that you don't get caught up in making money right away.
You need to give your blog sometime to get noticed by people and hopefullt the search engines.
There is a good amount of people who make a good living with blogs.

Hey if you wanna write for blogs. Then why don't you start your own blog and earn from it. Of course it takes time in promotion. If you can write on a perticular subject then my advice is to start your own blog. Earn for yourself

William H gave a link to a place called "associate programs" above he recommended. The guy who runs that is Allan Gardyne who recommends this book highly
http://www.bloggingtothebank.com/
from his last email. Allan Gardyne is a pro at internet marketing if you haven't heard about him.
I suppose most of you have, the book is $47.
Also Lynn Terry knows a lot about internet marketing/blogging. Here is a blog article of hers about what else blogging.

One way you can earn money from blogs is by promoting affiliate products. You may find many related affiliate products to sell from www.clickbank.com and www.cj.com. I just started my blog about 1 month ago and I have already made 2 sales

The best way to start making money with blogs is finding your niche to write about then advertising it. 3 options I see.
1. Use a hosted blog site (blogger.com) and use clickbank and google ads
2. Get paid to write from pay per blog sites
3. Host your own blog/website and market it

Does anyone know how much less you get in Adsense earnings if you host on blogger instead of your own website?

William H said it well. I'd also add a little adsense after you have a dozen or more articles and 100+ visitors per day to enhance your income a bit.

I have made money from my blogs through affiliate links. However, the easiest and most direct method has been posting paid reviews through the "paid to post" sites.
I wouldn't overdo this, though. You can lose the character of your blog, and Google will penalise you for it by lowering your page rank.

Making blogs on a social netwoking website is quite easier, I think. Having a group of people is already willing to come into your page and read your blog. You don't need to try much to generate traffic. You can post banners or links on your page. And it's free to start.

I do posts at xomba.com. It is great, because you get 50% of the profit and you just post when you want to. Most blogs you have to make a schedule for Google to notice you, but it has good page ranking. You can also use the site as a public bookmark and get paid for half the Google ads. I do suggest when you get there to visit a few posts before signing up and try to get someone with a lot of posts. That seems to be there alot to help out. Go under their profile page and sign up under them. They will then get paid a little to help you learn the ropes. Pick someone who you feel comfortable with and interests correspond.

Hi everyone,
I have been blogging in a Team SEO concept for about a month now and maintaining multiple Google top page 1,2,3 positions. I've NEVER experienced this kind of success before. Just want to let you know it can be done and affordably with consistent effort.

The best way is to start the blog and start writing. That's what I did. You need to post something every day, and make sure you know what you're writing about. Do it consistently, and provide quality. Then, over 3-4 months, you'll gain credibility and readers. After than, use Google Ads, Bidvertiser, and affiliate marketing to monetize the blog. If you have enough traffic, you can also sell private ads to make more money. Over time, with the right mix of consistency and quality posts, there is no reason you can't earn six figures from a blog.

I finally got my blog up and going but can't seem to figure out how to work with the thing, all kinds of codes in wordpress that I don't understand. I did manage to get a post written, an about page and a page for archives, however, I'm unsure if the archives is really working or if it's just a page sitting there. I'll just keep writing and try to figure out later how to monetize. I just want to have fun with it for a while and write what I want to write. It's a start.

You would like to find out more information about HTML codes and those techie stuff. They can take quite a while to learn.
Wordpress do have a training centre that gives you a guide when you're starting out.
If you will like to do affiliate marketing, clickbank and commision junction are good sites to go to.
Good Luck!

Writing blogs is a good thing to promote your website, but it's not going to work right away. It is time consuming, but it is worth. Make sure your write something exceptional and you start getting traffic.

I think the best way to look at a blog is that it is a great tool for people to get to know you, what you're like and what you do. It's more of a branding tool than anything.
Blogs certainly do get noticed by the mainstream media. But they have to be unique somehow for that to happen. There has to be some newsworthy angle, or something a bit quirky about your blog.
A blog that's written solely for money-making purposes generally won't get that kind of attention. It's gonna look too much like all the other money-making blogs out there!
So, I'd say just let your personality shine through in your blog. Write about what you enjoy. Traffic will come if you just keep at it, and your profile will definitely increase over time. And you can certainly leverage that for profit in different ways.
