Two possibilities: you can either get paid for allowing advertisements on your site or you can include the blog in one of the affiliate programs that draws the eyeballs and tilts heads the Internet.
If you decide to exploit the advertising potential of your blog, the best program to work with is Adsense; you'll get paid every time an ad on your site gets clicked, regardless of the conversion rate. The logical question that may rise here is: how can you get more clicks for the ads on the blog? Don't think about clicking your own ads to make quick money; fraud clicks are suicide guaranteed, and do not think you can outsmart Googloos (means people working for Google? can I?) are very efficient at identifying them. It's much easier to make money the honest way believe it or not!

You can increase the profitability of the ads on your blog by taking advertising into consideration when you design the site. For instance, the fonts and colors used for the ads should match the theme of your web page, instead of standing out.
Why? Because the more visible you make them, the more likely it is that they'll upset your visitors and cause them to click away, and the entire purpose of your blog is to get surfers to spend quality time on your pages. Adsense is a program that displays only those ads that are relevant to a specific topic of your blog, so that you need to respect your visitors while make some easy money.

Another way is for you to use the blog as part of an affiliate program, which involves promoting affiliate products or services of a specific business. For instance if you have a blog focusing on diving, you can very well turn it into an affiliate for a company that sells diving gears.
The amount of money you are can get varies, and it usually depends on your site traffic and conversion rates. Friendly links, special discounts, promotions and e-news letters are all part of an affiliate campaign that could turn a simple blog into a great revenue generator.
Enjoy blogging!
