Firstly You Need To Question Whether You Want To Monetize Your Blog?
Different people have a variety of strong personal feelings about making money from their blogs. If you think commercializing your blog is immoral, unethical then don't monetize it.
Earning income from your blog is not easy, so you don't want to be dealing with self-esteem issues about doing so. You should feel genuinely good about earning an income from your blog before you proceed. So take a few moments and think it through before proceeding.
If you do decide to generate income from your blog, you need to go boots and all into fully commercializing your blog. Don't be shy about it, at all, in fact be very proud of it and see it as providing a service to internet users. If you decide to put up ads, then put up ads in the best locations and make them bold. If you're going to sell products, then sell them hard and don't be ashamed of it. Only sell and the best quality products you can find and give your visitors convincing reasons to purchase.
When you commercialize your free site, expect that some people will complain, depending on how and when you do it

It Is Possible For Some To Make Money Online From Their Blog?
Yes you absolutely can and will make money if you do it correctly and with a passion and conviction. Realistically you should be able to make tens of thousands of dollars per blog if they are commercialized properly and with a lot of skill. Don't expect that initially and don't expect that from your first blog. 90% of people will never make that much from a Blog. But do aim for that after you learn the ropes as it is possible. If you work full-time , it will take much longer to generate a high income from blogging, but it can still be done.
Who Can Make Money From A Blog?
Not everyone will successfully make a living form their blogs. In fact blogging is so over crowded with people trying to commercialize their blogs that a good 75% of people will never make any meaningful living from a blog.
Making a living from a blog requires a good level of intelligence, decent It skills, a great knowledge of internet marketing and a very open context to the way you think. For this reason most people will struggle with making a good income form commercial blogging.
These are just some of the essential skills you will need to make money from blogs:
RSS/ feed syndication, feed aggregators, pings, track backs, full vs. partial feeds, blog carnivals (for starting your blog's traffic), search engines, blog publishing software, HTML/CSS, blog comments and spam prevention, SEO, page rank, social book marking, tagging, contextual advertising, affiliate programs, traffic statistics, email, auto-responders, links, link cloaking pod casting, instant messaging, some web scripting languages.
If reading these skills above scares or confuses you then I do not recommend you try to make money from blogging just yet. There are far easier ways to make money online requiring far less skills.
If you are going to retails digital ebooks, from your blog, you will need e-commerce, SSL, digital delivery and online MySQL databases as well as the skills above. You can outsource most of this, but that does increase your start up costs significantly and then you run the risk you may actually be unsuccessful if you fail to turn a profit.
Successfully monetizing a blog is a delicate balancing act between meeting the needs of yourself, your visitors, search engines, those who link to you, and others those who use your blog. You need to be able to interpret this balance and apply it.
Simple things like creating a title for your blog are an extremely important decision that can make or break the success of your blog. The title of the blog should be based on meeting a customer need. Your title must attract customers, be SEO friendly, be appropriate to certain adverts, suit the theme of your blog, and encourages people to link and bookmark with your blog. You need to be capable of doing the research to see which blogs in your field are currently successfully monetized and base decisions on those.
Every article on your blog must provide genuine value to your visitors. Create titles for your articles that balance these various needs. "How to" type articles are perfect traffic drivers that balance the needs of visitors and advertisers, as well as product sales from your. To be successful you need to be able to research and write credible "How to" articles based on the latest commercial opportunities that become available.
