I provide value to someone else, while also advertising my product. This gave me net 1 user last month. At lets say $10 / month, that's $120 / year. If I can get 12 people a year (1 per month) to register. Year one I'll have made $780 ($120 + $110 + $100 + ....). I personally try to do at least one post a week, and some have a lot of success, some none. The value comes from then marketing that post and ever improving what people from your niche want to read. You can only convert people who read the post. My example would be a failure (in my case), but it builds financially. As you advertise and get people coming to your stuff, more people typically come. They then tell their friends, share my posts, etc. You only need two or three big posts a year to get you tens to hundreds of users At once.
