There are many ways to make money by blogging, and even though it might seem unlikely that simply having a blog can bring you a steady income, many have been known to supplement their income by doing exactly that. What you need to know is that unless you plan on outsourcing part of the work, maintaining profitable blogs can be a very time consuming task. You will be in constant need of driving traffic to your blogs, and in order for that to happen, frequent updates and interesting topics are a must.
There are several ways to make money with blogging. The most well known is the creation of a blog (or several, depending on your abilities) and the sale of advertising space on the blogs. It's important to keep in mind that you need to be quite versed in marketing and be knowledgeable (or prepared to become so) in certain niches of interest in order to make this work.
You can choose direct advertising on your site, which means you will be endorsing certain sites or products on your site and getting paid for it. This can either be done as a result of a deal between you and potential clients or as a brokered transaction. Keep in mind that while brokered business is easier to come by, taking this route will most likely halve your profits).
Another option you have is the submission of your blog to certain "get-paid-to-blog" websites, where you can get paid for the posts you make. Of course, in order to qualify for submission, your blog must already be somewhat established. The positive aspect of this way of doing things is that traffic on your blog doesn't have to be exceedingly high in order for you to make a reasonably good profit.
As you see, ways of making money from blogging do exist, so get to work and good luck!
