A money making blog was the last thing the original lot of bloggers were thinking about but make it they did. Nowadays we are told by the so called "guru's" that for a money making blog to be successful you would need to find an empty slot, or to use the marketing term "a niche." The idea seems to be you have to find a subject that has little competition and then dominate the competition by being the best and most prolific blog writer on your chosen subject. There are several new blogs created every single second, that's 100's of blogs a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days week! Finding a niche with little competition, unless it is a brand new subject, is going to be near on impossible.
Quality has a habit of rising to the top and speaking from experience, I find my best performing blogs that are in congested niches are the ones that bring out my passion and that I have a good understanding about the subject. This gets visitors interacting by commenting and other web 2.0 activities such as bookmarking. These are all seen as votes for your blog and people interact only when they find a blog of quality.
A couple of $10 a day blogs is easily achievable and that equates to over $7K a year which isn't bad money for doing a couple of posts every day. Of course, as your blog grows and ages, so will your income from that blog and in time your traffic may reach a level where you can sell advertising. Keep your blog ticking over and you will reap the benefits in the future.
