1. Google Adsense
   Something you could consider. It is very easy to add to your blog, and you will earn money every time someone clicks on and advertisement on your site. Do remmember to read the terms for Google Adsense, and never EVER click your own ads, as this can get you banned from ever using Adsense again.
2. Affiliate programs.
   An easy way to go. Your blog is free (unless you have your own domain and pay for hosting) so advertising costs is zero. Each sale generated from your site will result in you making money on your blog. You can even ad some affliate links in your posts. You should concentrate the affiliate products or services so that they match the content of your blog, for higher convertions, and higher profit.
