In most cases blogs or web-logs are amateur blogs or web pages from everyday people who share their thoughts or expertise on a particular topic. Even amateur blogs can help increase website traffic to main websites. Blogging or professional blogging may be more of a personal commentary or important updates on everyday happenings in your business. Blogging can also be an online diary in which most amateur blogs generally are.

Some ways to make money from home with your blog are:
Pay Per Click Marketing
There are two aspects of pay per click marketing the most popular are Google Adsense and Google Adwords.
By placing Adsense ads on your blog advertisers pay you when readers click on their ads. The flip side is that you can be one of those advertisers who pays to have your ads appear on many websites related to your product or blog.
Kontera is another pay per click service that competes with Google Adsense. Look into both and see what works for you.
