Actually if you really want to make money you should have a huge following (readership) before you attempt to monetize your blog. Same goes if you have a new blog, chances are the search engines won't rank your blog too high because of the lack of keywords.

So if you really want to make some good money online, write well and attract as many readers as you can. Try to find out what attracts people, what sells and what doesn't. We all know sex sells, but we can't do pornographic blogs to make legitimate money.

Ahh. I'll let you guys do the thinking.
