Selling advertisements on the blog is common way to make money online from the blog and it’s not guaranteed way to generate handsome revenue from it. There are many reasons like if you don’t have large amount of traffic, it’s not possible to generate huge revenue using advertisements.
But instead of advertisements, there are some other ways to monetize your blog. I am discussing here about non-advertising revenue generating streams on your blog.
Write a Book:
If you are an expert in any field,you can write your book on the topic in which you are expert. Even you can sell your copyrights to another publishing agencies. Writing a book on a topic which will sell forever will guaranteed its sell for long time and hence you will keep making money out of it.
Sponsor reviews:
You can make money by reviewing any product or any service. There are number of blogs publishing sponsors reviews.You can start reviewing any gadget like iPhone or any other and start making money.

Sell Your Product or Service
If you are expert in your field,you can offer services or products to your blog readers. There are many bloggers offering services or products to the readers. Here is an example of Darren Rowse. He has started his paid discussion forums to the bloggers and promoting it on his most popular blog Problogger.net. You can also start any service or product offer to your blog readers.
Prove Yourself as a Professional Blogger
If you have expertise in any topic,you can start blogging. Start writing compelling articles on your favorite topic in which you are master. Once you develop your identity in your field,you can start writing the paid posts for other blog networks. You can charge handsome amount from the network publishers.
Start Premium Blog
If you are expert in any field and having large amount of readers on your blog, start offering premium content to readers. There are many famous bloggers like Om Malik or Neil Patel, they started premium blogging.They are prominent bloggers and gained good reputation in the blogosphere in their field. People don’t hesitate to pay them membership fees to read their blog posts.
Become a Speaker
If you are expert like Om Malik or Amit Agrawal, your blog is developed as your voice,you could offer your services as a public speaker at events related to your area of expertise.
Start Consulting
If you are master in any topic,you can start consultation services on your blog. Many bloggers are already doing good with various services they are good with. I am impressed with what Harsh is doing here, because he is selling his one of the best services BlogSpot to WordPress on his various blogs.If you checked his monthly income reports, you can see the earnings of his service Blogger to wordpress.
Sell Your EBook
If you have solid experience in your field,your blog is receiving good traffic,you can offer your own eBook about your blogging niche.It’s really one of the best ways mostly bloggers are adopting. For example Chris and Jeff wrote a book on WordPress and it is coming out to be one of the best book for wordpress.
Final Note
There are number of other ways to monetize your blog instead of advertisements. Making money from blog other than advertisements sources, depends upon your own efforts. This topic is only for general purpose and for your awareness.
Will love to know your idea, what do you think what can be other ways to make money our of your blog apart from advertisements?

I was not aware of ‘blog networks’ & ‘premium blogs’. You’ve covered everything. A must read for bloggers aspiring to be a pro.
Premium blog concepts work well when you blog something which is very rare on the web or something which is not easily available.
Works well for a recognized and old blog but not for a start up in many cases. Popularize your current blog, make it in-demand on the web and then start of the premium membership concept.
While doing sponsored reviews we must be honest with our readers. Most bloggers don’t disclose that they have done a paid review. This is cheating.
You are absolutely correct about reviews posts but there is no need to disclose anything about blog post or review post.If yo reviewed any product or services genuinely then nobody will bother about the post whether it’s paid review post or not.
