This can be a worthwhile if you have a large number of regular readers who have a high level of trust in you. You can then take that trust to promote products. Just be careful to do your homework. Too many bad products and you will lose the trust and the golden goose.
Unfortunately most people are not in a position to do this. If you don't have traffic, you can not do it, and even if you have a lot of traffic, if they are not hardcore loyal followers of your blog, you will not get them to act.
Not to mention if the blog just turns into a product placement push, you will use users as well. The key is being subtle but strong.
