I keep hearing that you can make money by blogging online. How do I start a blog in order to do this?
...............................................................................
Content is the king... if you 've got the content then you can start earning right after publishing it.. you can publish on BLOGSPOT.COM or HUBPAGES and use advertising programs along with them such as Google Adsense or Kontera etc.....
...............................................................................
Interested in some topics familiar to you ? Write about that by regitering with http://www.blogger.com/ and there are guidelines for proceeding and submit the blog to https://www.google.com/adsense/

That's only if you gain popularity and thousands of hits. You make money from companies advertising on your site. Don't use Google to find "make money by blogging" things.. those are ALL SCAMS.
