    As for as affiliates, I hear they are quite good, but I don't know which I should go for. So affiliates are an option for sure.

    So far, I am using Adsense on my blog, and that's about it. Anything else you guys can suggest to make money from my blog?

    My blog is the site in my signature

    I'm making money form my blog by accepting sponsored reviews but you wouldn't want it unless you have a lots of blog.

    If you are going for an affiliate program then try something that it is in your niche.

    Go post his on the affiliate section!

    Well you could try other advertisers, or affiliate programs, most will get you a better payout than Adsense.

    I see you have plenty of space on there! Use it! Offer some banner ad positions and rake in some money... ;)

    P.S. Just a hint: Text link ads!!!

    Depending on how much you are making in adsense, if you were going to try affiliate products I would take the adsense off. You run the risk of losing a possible sale by giving them a way off your site without clicking your link.

    Getting enough traffic to be able to sell ad space is a good idea as well. You could do that and keep the adsense and make money on both ends.

    If you have a lot of traffic, you can take a look at other blogs and what they are doing. Affiliate Sales is a good way to go and you're in a pretty highly profitable niche so that shouldn't be too difficult. You might develop and sell a product of your own.

    I get $125 a sale for DirecTV, which is one of many mainstream products you could add without too much trouble at all. I go through Expert Satellite.

    Why wouldn't you blog about something that you like and try to find matching affiliate programs?
    Or if you are good at writing and can write about anything then I suggest going with some popular products and blogging about them, like health, weight loss and similar...
