Do people make money blogging?
Yes, and here's how.
To make money blogging, one sells products on their blog. This can either be their own products or the products of others. And it can be direct selling, or just by reviews or mentions.
Do people make money blogging?
Yes. It doesn't happen overnight, but it happens with perseverence.
Selling your own products and services is a lot more labor intensive. It's a great idea once you have your own products or services to sell, and is often the most profitable way to make money blogging.
However, it's much simpler to get started selling other people's products and services. You can be set up doing this for free within a week or two.

Yes. Even without their own products or services.
If you choose to go the route of selling other people's products and services, there are two main methods for doing this:
1) Advertising networks such as google adsense (or people paying you directly for ads).
2) Affiliate marketing.
Both work. It depends on the topic of your website and how big an audience you are able to amass which will work better for you.
No matter which of these you choose to do, you need to build traffic before you add advertising to your site.
