Writing paid posts, also called Sponsored Posts, is by-far the most straight-forward way to monetize your blog. After reaching a mutual agreement with the advertiser, you write for them, they pay you. To simplify the process a bit more, a middle-man company may be involved that provides a marketplace for advertisers and bloggers to meet. In such cases, the middle-man company also takes it’s cut.

If you want to get started with, or expand, paid blogging here’s a list of web services that pay you to blog.
