    The best way to start is to get some followers onto your blog.

    Once you have followers and subscribers through an email list (aweber etc), then you can send out daily email blasts to your list.

    You will then be able to get a viral effect once your website gets more popular and word gets out amongst the masses.

    Check out my blog as an example - I've had this for 3 years.

    Hope this helped give you some ideas.

    One good way is you can go to popular blogs such as Johnchow.com, and post comments there with a link back to your blog. Those readers are already targeted to "make money online" niche. Think about where else your audience would "hang out" and go find them! Good luck! :)

    Locate other blogs that cater to the same market and post useful comments on articles where you have something to add. If people like your ideas, some will follow your link to your own blog.

    What type of content are you providing? Try to think of an angle that can set you apart from the 1,000s of other 'Making Money Online' blogs. The most important thing is providing unique and good quality articles/resources.

    I think you need to promote your blog on Facebook and twitter.
    But interesting contents needs, these will help.
    It's better for you to do some research before doing that.

    When it comes to the "make money online" niche, the audience is anyone who wants to make money. So that is pretty much everyone. From broke college kids to the retired gramas and gramps.

    I found out from google analytic by analyse which traffic bring me highest conversion rate and check on their demographic . I always target to niche on which they want to see on your blog. There are lot of people would like to make money online but make online do have too much methods. So you much either target to those people who agree with your methods to earn money or target to those failure people or starter and try to build trust and confidence with them toward your methods to make money online. You may try email marketing which bring you direct to the right audience

    You can begin with guest posting and solo ads. These are highly effective.
