2) CPM Ad Network:

E.g-TribalFusion

Not a widely used Ad network to make  money with a blog, still it’s much popular among blog’s receiving per day more than 1000 unique visitors. Cost Per impression(CPM) or specifically Cost Per Thousand Impressions  refers to cost which the advertisers pay to the site publishers for each time whenever an ad is displayed on the Web Page.(Different from Google Adsense where visitor should click in order to earn money from blog ).

3) Affiliate Programs:

E.g-Amazon Affiliate Program

You rent some blog space to  advertisers and they will pay you according to 3 different models. These are Pay per time,Pay Per click and Pay Per Impression.

The Best Source if you want to make instant money is by offering Paid Reviews on your Blog. But it has some limitations. Your Blog  must receives huge amount of  Traffic Daily and your Blog has a good impact on Social Media. Your Alexa as well as Page rank also matters. But if you full-fill all these criteria then this alone can generate a Huge Income.

Advertisers Search for the Blogs that writes Quality and Unique content on their Blog. They just ask to write a review of one of their products in the form of Posts including a link of their Website. And you will be paid accordingly. Minimum Payment you will get is 5$.

You build a Blog, increase content,  traffic, rankings, social media engagement and then sell it- This is basic concept of Flipping. Many Business owners will approach you(like they have approcahed me) if you have a quality blog or otherwise you can list your blog on popular Buying and Selling websites Portal like Flippa.com and you will easily get millions.

8) Donations

With PayPal

Last but of course not the least, when it comes to make money from Blog purely designed by you, is via Donations. In contrast to  today’s usual Human Psychology, the World is still full of people who always appreciate the hard work you had done and would  be wiling to  fund you. I just analysed some popular blogs on the Internet and found that it’s also a common very good source that help Bloggers to make money from Blog.

Just think about the 2 Internet most Popular Websites WikiPedia and WordPress. They are still running on Fund Basis and they frequently run campaigns and  request their  users for donations. So don’t be shy and just display a banner for your Blog Donations

But if you blog is centralised to  Indian Visitors only then i personally recommend you to leave this source.
