Here are the nitty-gritty tips on how to make money with blogs.

First of all, you need to visit www.blogger.com and set-up your free account. The steps are easy:

1. You create a blogger account

2. You name your blog

3. You chose a blog template

Secondly, you are going to decide on how you want to monetize your blog. If you don't have your own product (I highly recommend you create one as soon as possible), you should go about picking one, two or three top affiliate products (or services).

These affiliate products or services need to be 100% related to your blog theme (niche audience) if you want to get maximum results from your promotions.

HINT: you get to genereate more affiliate sales if the affiliate product you recommend is highly targeted to a specific audience. In fact, the success rate of closing the sale depends on how precise you can target your market.

One of the best affiliate program directories can be found at www.associateprograms.com.

Here you get free access to thousands of pages of affiliate programs, useful tips, money-making articles, researched recommendations, and a helpful affiliate forum.

Besides affiliate programs you can also monetize your blog by applying for Google AdSense Program.
