I’m earning between 600-1000 from my blog using all of the methods you mention. Though I would say that affiliate marketing is by far the largest majority of my income. Also, I would add that it took some time before I started earning from my blog. The important thing is to stay consistent and keep up with your content.

Thanks for the tips and I know some bloggers who make thousands using these simple and nice tips. The only problem is that you should make your blog really attractive and worth getting a lot of traffic.
You are right … it is not one size fits all. There are different monetization strategies that can be used. How well a particular monetization works largely depends on the niche chosen. With blogging as the niche, affiliate marketing works well but adsense does not.
In some niches adsense works amazingly well – one has to really hunt for these niches. It can still be a hit or trial activity.

Great post Shiva, you’ve outlined some of top money making methods for most bloggers. Google AdSense is a sure-fire, most avid bloggers can begin to make small earnings from AdSense within a few months of consistently putting out good content and increasing traffic, though the biggest earning potential methods would have to come from affiliate marketing for sure.
