This is the most common ways of making blogs produce income. The process is simple. If your blog is one of those more famous and well-read, you can it to sell ad space all by yourself. But for those not so famous blogs, there are services that can be used to set up an ad program. The widely used one is Adsense.

When a visitor became interested on something that you have promoted on your blogs, they can click on the link that you have provided that will lead directly to the affiliate site.
Once the customer has decided to buy or avail of what is offered, you will get a commission based on the sale made.

If your readers are taken or is moved by what you have written, there is a likely possibility that they will be more than willing to help you.
