Most of the traffic comes to your blog through search engine such as Google. If we type some keywords in the Google search then it shows a lot of websites in a results. Here we can see that some has the author pictures while some don't have.
So if you want to show your profile picture with search result related to your site then follow the precess.
1- If your blog is older and you still not connect your Google + profile to your blog then first connect it using the following pointed option in blogger.

2- Add your Google + Profile Link on your blog's side bar using the following code.
<a href="Your G+ Profile URL"
rel="author" target="_blank">Join me on Google+</a>
  Note: rel="author" will tell robots that you are the real Author of this page.
  • Replace Your G+ Profile URL with your own Google + Profile link. For example my Google + Profile URL is https://plus.google.com/107002605838587470279
  • Join me on Google+ is the display name of the link on the blog page.

Example: Following is the link on my Blog
3- If you did not create About Me Page then create it and remember that add your profile picture with 128x128 px dimensions with JPEG Format. Also add the link of your Google + Profile as internal link on your Name on the About Me page discription using the following code.
<a rel="me" href=Your Google+ URL title="Your Name">Your Google+ Name</a> 
Note: Your Profile Picture on About Me page and Google + Profile must be same.
4- Add the link of About Me page on your Blog.
  • The most usual place is the Footer of your blog page. Use the Following code to add link.
<a href='http://www.bloggerzhelp.com/p/about.html' rel='author'>About</a>
  • Use Your Own About Me page link instead of  http://www.bloggerzhelp.com/p/about.html
I have added this to my blog's footer and its look like this:
5- Now Go to Your Google + Page and Click on Edit Profile.
6- Add your Blog URL to Contribute to option and then also add your blog URL and About Me Page URL to Links option in the editor.
  • Now You can Check you implementation from Rich Snippets Testing Tools by Entering Your Blog URL and then match the result with the following:
 Note: author linked twitter profile is optional.

If you have seen the result with Verified: Authorship markup is verified for this page. Then you are done.
Now be patient and wait for upto 3 days for the result in Google Search Engine. :-)
