Go ahead and publish it. A few visitors will straggle in while you’re working on promoting it.
Post on article submission sites and link back to your blog. There’s a list of them on my blog. Some of them actually pay writers. I’m earning more from them than I am from my blog LOL.
Use social bookmarking and social networking.
Make sure you have a good domain name and then get it hosted.
I would recommend then using a WordPress Blog which is SEO friendly and will really help with the search engines.
The keywords to your niche are what matters. Spend all your time getting the right keywords. Then right about 6 posts and do a few back links and the search engines will find you. Do not waste any of your money on submission sites, the big search engines will find you if you do what I have told you above.
Get your back links by writing a few articles and submitting them to an article directory.
Good luck
It will take time and lots of effort to get a solid number of returning visitors.
There are two possibilities, taking both strategies will be most successful. First one is free: go around and advertise your blog by commenting on posts that are related to your blog, inserting a hyperlink to your site. Do this for as many times as possible. As a result you will gain traffic (little, but still traffic) and search engines will start seeing your blog. Don’t forget to post your blog entries on digg.com, reddit.com etc. This will create more traffic, lots of it even if it get voted up by "diggers" and "reddit-ers".
Second strategy will cost you money and this is paying people to get quality-links to your site. This will largely increase the "findability" of your site by search engines. Also telling google/yahoo etc your site exists might be a good idea.
Good luck

P.S.: Waring, it will be very hard to earn money with a blog, though it is not impossible!
