Do people monetize their own blogs? Why?

[Barry]

On Blogger you would monetize your blog by showing Google Adsense ads on your blog. It would require a free Adsense account and you would earn money when people click on the ads.

It is very common for people to advertise themselves through social networking services. That is why most celebrities have Facebook Fan pages. A lot of companies have fan pages as well. It's a way to interact with fans and create a following.

A Facebook fan page is a free page where you can build and interact with a fan base. Facebook ads are just that, advertisements you can pay for to advertise a product, service or to get more fans.
