A way that many people do this putting sponsor ads or affiliate ads on their blog, and as your blog becomes more popular and visitors start clicking you ads and checking out your recommendations you can earn money! If you already have a blog don’t you could try monetizing it with Google ads or affiliate programs. If you don’ have a blog you can set one up for free at blogger.com or wordpress.com

One slight problem that you will run into is that many programs pay through PayPal, which is an online payment processor. The thing is that PayPal requires you to be 18 years of age in order to set-up an account with them. But not to worry, if you're not 18 and need a PayPal account just ask your parents or consenting adult to set one up for you.
