Generally speaking, when blogging started it was not for making money. Blogging has a long history and it has drastically changed over the time. People started monetizing their blogs only when online advertising started becoming popular. Blogs were originally created to share random thoughts and attract readers and build reader base for your writing. Even though blogging is still done to attract readers, if you get a lot of visitors, it can become a source of income. You do not have to work many hours on a blog. If you get 1-2 k daily visitors on your blog you can easily make $50-$100 in a month. All you need to do is publish 1-2 articles in a month and build traffic.
