There are many ways one could monetize blog posts. It is not obvious to me that most blog posts are worth any money at all. Let’s take the best case scenario: How much are you willing to pay for the blogs that you read?

$0.20 per article. That's $300 CPM
That’s a fair number. I am ashamed to admit, however, that I suspect I would second-guess too many blog entries and decide it wasn’t worth the money. Weird. I am disappointed in myself. But I typically read at least dozens of blogs a day. It could really add up.
oops $200 cpm. Still, $1-2 per day is nothing to fret about for most ppl in the west
