Most bloggers I know pay nothing to get started. They start out on a free service like Blogger or WordPress.com and then move on to their own domain and hosting somewhere.

The rates they are quoting also average out to $6.50 per cpm. That's rather high for a site only getting 100,000 visitors per month. Also ad revenue is rather dry right now, especially with the political blogs.
