How to make money with your blog?

[hakrjak]

This is a new thread sprouting from the other one I started regarding blogging software...

Ok, So -- I'm an IT guy, but this is still not a concept I grasp very well.

I understand that there are people out there making millions of dollars with their blogs?

Without getting too technical (Atleast not right away)... How are these guys making the money, specifically? I assume it's all through advertising? Affiliate programs? Google adwords revenue? I know some get you to their blog, and then link you to a product they are selling?

Let's get a thread going about how to profit from blogging! Is it a viable living that you can make say $50k a year rather realistically, or is it a big waste of time where you make $15 a month after 6 months of effort? Opinions welcome...

If I lost my job tomorrow, is this a way to replace that income?

Cheers,

- Hakrjak
