Some bloggers don't even want to make money blogging thinking it is unethical, or greedy.
Some feel that readers will be put off or offended if their blog is monetized.
If this is you, stop reading now.
But, imagine what your life would be with an income generating blog.
Could it help to ease any financial pressure? You bet! Bloggers are finding out that blogging can be a profitable medium.
However there are many people who are clueless when it comes to generating income from their blogs.
They have no idea as to what to do.
Monetizing your blog begins with a basic income-generating strategy for your blog site.
If you can't come up with a strategy then figure out a general philosophy for how you are going to generate income.
Whether you are a blogger with a general interest blog or one with a specialized niche you should look at possible income streams to make money blogging.
Here are just 4 income streams to look at:

• Google AdSense ads (pay-per-click and pay per impression).
  It's an easy way to monetize your blog.
  All you need to do is add a few AdSense blocks to your sidebar or your posts.
  
• Affiliate programs-Think about this, most bloggers name drop products at one time or another.
  Affiliate programs provide a way to make money blogging by just name-dropping.
  Three of the most widely used affiliate programs are Amazon, ClickBank, and Commission Junction.
  
• E-book sales-If you've got great content, why not package and sell it.
  A blogger who create ebooks and even real books can make some good money selling them.
  Expanding to info products such as videos, DVD's, and audio CD's require some work, but it can be a nice income stream that lasts a long time.
  
• Continuity programs- these are blog sites that earn a recurring income.
  A good example is a blog membership site, where you charge your subscriber a monthly fee in exchange for valuable information.
  The key of course, is to provide continued value each month.
  

These are just four income streams you as a blogger, can use in monetizing your blog.
Another thing to consider is that these sources of income, once set up, become fully automated.
They can be easy to maintain.
Using combinations of these income sources may work well for you.
Think always of multiple streams of income.
Remember, these are just 4 of many revenue possibilities to make money blogging.
