If you will create your personal blog there are two possibilities: You spend money on banner ads and pay for comments and seek for Google Adsense approval or use alternative or even place manually ads (some Wordpress plugins offers this) for manual funds. I have tried this method a lot and doesn't seems to generate money like expected you find yourself paying for hosting and earning once a while. Second is premade tip platforms like Stacker News and alternatives (read cash or any competitor site) this method generates instantally funds, means create your own blog to earn money has reduced rate rather than before.
