If you have Elements or CS you can save for web, which lets you save to the quality you want via a slider control.

You need to increase the amount of compression applied when saving as JPEG. Depending on your software, this will be a choice in a dialog box or a slider if you have a "Save For Web" feature.
Applying less sharpening will also make the file smaller for any given level of compression.
