How to Qualify for AdSense
Your Blogger website may not always be eligible. Check your blog thoroughly to see if it meets AdSense's eligibility requirements. If your content is not original or if it violates AdSense policy, it is very likely that your website won't be able to qualify. You will also have to follow Blogger's content policy and make sure that your site's pages are ready for AdSense (make sure you read this page, very important!).
For a new user, you need to fill your website with quality writings first before you can become eligible. Your website with free blogspot subdomain may not be able to qualify for AdSense if your articles are already widely available on the internet. You need to have originality and fresh ideas! You can use Google Question Hub to increase your blog content quality.
You may also need to index your Blogger website. It is important to make sure that your blog can be found in Google search page result.

There are cases in which your website has fulfilled above requirements but still remains ineligible. Most likely this is caused by the website's age. In 2017, AdSense stated that your website needs to be active for at least six month to become eligible. However it may not take that long depending on your blog quality. One of my blog was qualified in one month.
I notice common case in which a blog has more than 20 posts but it is still not qualified due to quality reasons. While quantity is still important part for eligibility, AdSense seems to prioritize quality.
It's hard to say exactly when your Blogger website will become eligible. However, it is safe to say that as long as we follow the guidelines and make sure that our websites are complete, we can eventually become eligible for AdSense.
Eligibility Does Not Mean Approval
Once your blog with free blogspot domain becomes eligible, you will be allowed to ask for AdSense approval. It will be able to serves ads once it is approved. AdSense team will review your Blogger website to see whether it is ready show ads yet. It may take up to 2 weeks to get a verdict from AdSense.
Acquiring AdSense approval may not be easy. AdSense may reject your Blogger website because of various reasons. You will be able to resubmit your website for review once you've fixed the problem. You may get rejected several times. Fortunately you can always reapply, there is no limit. So basically once your website is eligible, it is only a matter of time until your website is approved.
Your Blogger blog may be rejected by AdSense because of policy violation. There are many types of policy violation. One of them is "Valuable Content: Inventory Under Construction". You may read the article which explains how I fix this type of problem. You will also need to put attention in your content's language.
