Think upon the topic of your blog i.e what will be the content of your blog? One of the most important aspects in the process of blog building is the appropriate and right selection of the title for your blog. People's first impression of any blog is its title. The title speaks of the content/subject of your blog. If your blog title is not properly selected or that if it doesn't represent the subject of your blog, people will just navigate away from your blog.

After creating your blog and getting a proper title for it, the next step, the most important step, that you need to seriously work on is the content for your blog. You should publish only quality and original subject matter in your blog. Here quality refers to useful and well articulated articles and posts. Your content should be original that is, it should be the result of your own work. Duplicating the articles and subject matter from other sources will not bring any benefit rather it'll invoke a bad image for you and your blog. So make sure that you post only good and original contents in your blog.

Follow the following simple steps and you are on your way to making easy money through your blog.
1. Participate in Google Adsense program. Adsense is a Pay Per Click program i.e for each click you receive from your blog readers Google pays you some amount normally $2 or $3 for each click! You can imagine how much you can earn through this program. Now how does this program work? When you register for the program and if you are accepted you'll be given a piece of HTML code that you'll have to paste in your blog page. After pasting the code in your blog a small block will appear below which will be written 'Ads by Google'. Now when somebody clicks on the content of this block, you earn certain amount. But never take advantage of this opportunity. Never click the ads yourself or ask somebody to click it. If you do so Google will instantly terminate your account and will be banned for life from further participation in the program. So be careful and make the best use of the program without violating their rules.
2. Join some Affiliate programs. Affiliate program is nothing but promoting somebody's products or services. There are hundreds of merchants who are eagerly searching for people like you especially bloggers who could promote their products through their blogs. Merchants pay handsome commissions to bloggers for effectively promoting their products and services. When somebody sees interesting products being advertised in your blog and buys them you will earn commissions for it. Suppose the price of the product being purchased is $100, then because that you have helped in selling that product the merchant of that product pays you about $30 or somtimes even more! In this program the more products you promote the higher is the return.
To start with, you can join popular affiliate networks like Commission Junction, Linkshare, Clickbank and ClixGalore. All these networks have thousands of registered merchants looking for affiliate bloggers.
3. Join programs like Pay Per Post, Blogvertise or Review Me. In this program what you do is write reviews of products or services and published them in your blog as sponsored posts. For each accepted review and post you'll be paid. Normally they pay about $10 or more for each accepted post. Sometimes they pay even at the range of $70-$100 for each review! The payment solely depends on the type of products you write about and the quality of your writings. If you are good in writing and have good knowledge about the products then there is no limit in your earning potential. Infact sky is the only limit for you!

These are some of the ways by which you can make money through your blog. Your success in these programs depend on you yourself. So make best use of these opportunities and work hard and with dedication. If you do well and take the right steps then there is no one to stop you from gaining that financial freedom.

Good luck and all the best!
