The answer is, of course, yes. You can make money setting up your own blog, writing about topics close to your heart, and earning through Text Link Ads, Google Adsense, or similar blog monetization techniques. You’ll have to work on publicizing your blog, though- and if you want to really earn money, you’ll need a healthy dose of good marketing techniques.

What’s easier? Blogging for someone else. Many of the big blog networks are always on the lookout for new bloggers, and they’ll usually take care of the marketing side of things. Here’s where to find the best blogging jobs:

Blogger Jobs .biz
A lot of listings here. I recommend subscribing to their RSS feed until you find something that interests you.

SimplyHired Blogging Jobs
This is an aggregator- which means that they pull job listings from different job sites.

Weblog Labs’ Jobamatic
Thanks to Jobamatic, we have our very own job boards featuring blogging jobs from a variety of sites.

One of my favorite ones, ProBlogger Job Board, isn’t working for me right now. But I’m listing it here anyway, because it’s such a great resource.
