I’ve heard you can make money by blogging, or by creating an online E-newsletter. How would one find these opportunities? How could one start an online e-newsletter and get paid for it?
What does being like Perez (I’m assuming you mean Paris) Hilton have to do with blogging?
Intelligent answers please.
Ok, so if one is ‘good at it’ and ‘like perez hilton’ then how would one earn money blogging?

There are a TON of ways to monetize blogs and you can literally create micro-niche blogs on every subject imaginable – drive traffic, and monetize via adsense or a vast array of affiliate offers. The most successful method is creating a highly focused blog on a particular niche you are interested in (nobody wants to keep a blog alive on a subject you have no interest in), find affiliate products through clickbank or anyone of hundreds of other affiliate networks – be it linkshare, or amazon, or shareasale, or clickbank, or even CPA (cost per action) lead offers where you can make money just for people submitting their zip codes. I use Copeac, RevenueLoop and CPA Empire mostly, but again, there are hundreds. Many of the CPA and higher profile networks do expect you to be of age, but you can talk to them when you apply – clickbank would be no problem.
Once you identify your maket and what you can actually sell to your market, you can optimize your individual pages to promote certain products or CPA offers, as well as monetize through adsense – you want to TARGET your pages to your audience so relavent ads show up and you are of course showing relevant products. Gone are the days of putting up mass generated junk pages with general adsense ads that aren’t targetted at all to your visitors. If you have low clickthrough rate on your ads on your pages, Google pays you less and less and less. The higher the clickthrough rate, Google believes your pages are more relevant because obviously people are clicking on the ads (because they are relevant). The name of the game is to show people USEFUL information. The web is doing a good (better) job of weeding out all the garbage and riff-raff, which gets rid of all the bad-apples and allows internet marketers like us gain some credibility back…

Sure you can earn money blogging. I have been doing it for 2 years. You can become a affiliate marketer and sell products on your blog. This is a great way to make a residual income.
