Well this is where a lot of the work comes in. You can be a very good writer, with very good content to your blog, but if nobody can find you it won't matter. How much money you make depends strictly on how much traffic you can get.
There are a multitude of ways to get more hits to your blog. The two biggest ways are with advertising and SEO (search engines like google). I will talk more about these later. Right now I will just give you a couple ways to boost your traffic.
1. Tell your friends. You probably have 500 friends on Facebook or Twitter or whatever that would check out your blog. This can be a great boost.
2. Comment on other blogs like yours. Find other blogs in your niche and comment on them. Do not write a comment like this: "nice blog! Check out mine www.myblog.com". That is spamming is is frowned upon by everybody. If you write a genuine comment the blogger should be nice enough to check out your blog, maybe even put up a link on his own blog.
3. Blog catalogs. There are several blog catalogs out there that you can submit your blog for free to. An example of one is Blog Catalog.
4. Comment on blog communities or other sites or forums. A lot of times you can have a link to your blog in your signature that a lot of people will see.
I will talk a lot more about getting traffic to your blog in later posts including how to get people to come back to your blog.
