Once you start up a blog, make sure you keep all your posts on a relevant topic! For example, I've made a couple blogs related to hip hop music, such as cronikonline.com, you have to keep everything relevant or it will be hard to gain readers and subscribers. If your blog about random topics than think about it.. If I go on your blog and see a post on technology, and I like it, I'll come back, but if I come back and see a post on the Civil War, then you just lost me.
Learn SEO, read up on Digitalpoint Forums and really try to learn something, SEO (search engine optimization) is what will get your blog all the traffic it needs.
Gaining backlinks is a good start for you, but start slow or Google and other search engine will think that your spamming. A backlink is when another site has a link to your website/blog, the more backlinks you have (especially if the other websites are relevant to your blogs topic) the more you will probably show up on searches.
Are you signed up to any forum websites? If you listened to my advice before you would be on Digitalpoint, everybody on the forums can change their signature that shows up at the end of every post, change yours and put a link to your blog in it, and there's your first backlink.
Sign up to any forums you can and start putting the link in your signature, you will gain traffic and look like a more credible site when other websites are linking to you.
Blog commenting, Yahoo Answers, and Digg are also great places for you to gain backlinks!

How bloggers make money...
If you want to make money from your blog then sign up to Google Adsense and start placing ads on your blog, another thing you should definitely try doing is signing up for an affiliate program like Amazon Associates, where you can sell any product on Amazon and earn commission.
Example, if you run a blog that's about technology, then you can review a product such as the iPhone, and then place an affiliate ad in the post. Review and recommend products!
In order to make money with your blog you will need to have traffic, so if you are thinking about getting into the blogging scene than you will need to read up on SEO (search engine optimization).
Having your own domain (yourdomain.com) is better then using blogger, but both will work just fine. I am using blogger now, but when I make a blog about an interest of mine, such as music, gaming, and movies then I pay for a domain name. Blogger is the only free blog platform you can use for free that lets you place ads on your blog, so it is very important that you use blogger.
It takes time, so don't rely on one blog, make as many as possible, just make sure you can keep up on them! A successful blog will have about 5 or more posts a day, don't start what you can't finish.

Writing Jobs for Teens - Freelance Writing
Assuming that most of you are still in school, how would it feel to get paid for all those essays your english/language arts teacher makes you write? You can become a freelance writer and work online typing up articles anywhere from 250 words to a 1000 words or more. Do you blog? You can become a paid blogger, get paid for every post published on somebody's website.
Start by signing up to TextBroker.com, when you sign up they will make you write a quick article so that they can rate your writing skills. They rate by 2 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars, and 5 stars.. here's how they pay you..
A 250 word article will make you about $2.50 if you're rated with 2 stars. Once accepted you will be able to write articles for other people, believe me, there's plenty of stuff for you to write once signed up, and everything you write will be constantly reviewed by TextBroker so you can boost your ranking to 3, 4, or 5 stars. They will pay you via PayPal, so make sure you sign up if you haven't yet.
Sounds good?
Because that's just the start, sign up to DigitalPoint forums and start selling articles to web owners. You can make $7 an hour easily by using textbroker and selling your articles on digitalpoint and other forums, just google freelance writing and start looking for freelance writer jobs.
Most jobs for teens online will require basic writing skills, you don't have to be great at writing to make money from it.
If you want to have a steady income with little work, consider making your own website and/or starting a blog. I seriously recommend you do this on the side though, because it takes time and hard work to start making good money. You will need to sign up with Google Adsense so you can place relevant ads on your website or blog, and when people click the ads you get paid. Sounds easy, but it requires that your blog has a good amount of daily traffic.
If you do take this route and become a freelance writer, then you should keep writing articles for people and sign up to blogger.com to make a blog and put google ads on it. Look on craigslist for local jobs, and look on digitalpoint forums, sometimes people are hiring bloggers, use your blog as a resume for your writing ability.
It takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of patience for teens to make money online, but it can happen, and you may never need a job offline for the rest of your life!
