Now open up blogger.com (Remember don't be confused with blogger and blogspot as both are same.) Now hit the button create a blog, when you will hit that button you will be taken to a page saying "Create a Google Account"

After signing in, a window will open up for creating your first blog at blogger. Choose one domain name like soni2006.blogspot.com. After choosing domain name and pressing enter, a window will open up for creating your first blog post. Now open up your first article you have written on microsoft word copy and paste that article in the required text field. Create a google title and add some keywords in the labels section of your blog post. Remember, the keywords and title should be in context with your text that means, the words taken should not be from outside and should be from inside the text or otherwise it will become irrelevant for the search engines to index your blog. Good title and labels bring up unique visitors and these new visitors coming every time will read your blog and may be they click on the ads making you money. Now the next step comes how to display ads on blogger?

3. You don't have to know any programming languages or any html, javascript thing for displaying ads on blogger. Just write some more 5 or 6 articles relating to the same topic like the one you started with. After creating a good amount of posts on your blog, it is time sign up for google adsense. Now click google.com/adsense and a Google Adsense Page will open up directly and then apply for Adsense. Submit all info about yourself. Most important point to remember, double check the payee name on which you want to recieve your check. Now adsense will review your application and will send an e-mail to you when they accept you to Adsense might be in 3 business days.

4. After they accept your blog, just scroll down to the end of blog post and click the button saying "DISPLAY GOOGLE ADSENSE ADS". A page will load up and select the options in which form you want to display these ads . Previously people had to place their ads manually in their blogger blogs but thanks to google as now it is done automatically. After you are able to see that ads are displayed on your blog, then when someone will click on your Ads you will be paid.

P.S.: Please note that if you will use the same username and password for all your google products like google base, blogger, picasa, gmail, orkut, etc., you will really benefit from that, as it will save your precious time of again logging in and out and also you will be able to manage all your google products via one account.
