As I say to people on another thread with 300$ budget. Buy my QEUW.com for 300$ wait for ten years. You will get amazing ROI. oh wait you short 100 bucks. Sorry but you can borrow from someone around here.

smart ones : making $200 and so on without having to pay anything forward
if someone told u that u need to spend that much..say hi to him and prove that it can be done FREE

Here's what I'd recommend on $200...
First, think about 5-10 niches or topics that you'd like to work on. I mean, something that you think you could write an article every couple of days -- constantly. Start with one domain & hosting account ($10 annual + $4/month hosting). Setup wordpress, re-theme it, add some plugins (like SEO for Wordpress, etc). Start writing. Get yourself plugged in to the blogosphere on sites like Technorati, Bumpzee, MyBlogLog, etc. Start writing. Add new content at least every 2 days. Make the content interesting and useful, and best of all controversial. Create controversy.
Give that blog a week or two, then add another one ($10 annual + $4/month). Do this every week or two until you've got about 5-10 blogs that you're running. Keep them all updated constantly. Build linking relationships with other blogs and sites in your niche / topic.
It might take 3-6 months for the traffic & revenue to start coming in, but on a budget and with relatively little experience, this is a pretty easy way to get in the game.

Someone chasing after this scenario would require a lot of creativity, especially if you're running 10 blogs that requires consistent content updates weekly.
Carpal tunnel much?
I think DaveEMG has a great idea, but I'd caution against starting up too many blogs at once. It's easy to get burnt out writing tons of content every day, for what will most likely be chump change (if not pocket change) for the first six months to a year.
I'd recommend starting with only one or two blogs, in good niches (i.e. not "how to make money from blogging") and then work the hell out of those for a month or two to see if you had things to say, liked doing it, and could build a readership. Then, if you did, I'd add a couple more to the network.
The idea would be to build the blogs to the size and income where you can hire someone to take over the blogging for you (roughly $250 a month in revenue), while you go off and start new blogs, which you then build up. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
The bad thing about this system is that you won't make any money for months, and it's wicked hard work.
The good thing is that if you succeed at it, you've built a network of blogs that might have a decent monthly income, and would certainly have very good resale value. Say in a year or year and a half, you've worked up to 12 blogs, each producing a modest $500 a month in revenue. $6,000 a month, with total expenses (mostly blogger salaries) of $2500 a month, for a net profit of $3500 a month. Hey, 42K a year!
From there you can work on better monetization, growing readership, all sorts of things to squeeze more out of the network.
Or, you can sell out.
A reasonable price for a single blog with $6,000 a year in gross revenue is between 5k and 8k (depending upon niche, etc, etc). However, as a network of 12 profitable blogs, you can ask for a reasonable premium over the single price, 20 to 40%, (if not substantially more) and so now you're looking at range of $75K to $150k.
But, as I said, it's wicked hard work, blogging every day, building links, generating attention for your blogs.

Ha ha sorry, I'm a writer.
Besides, if you want to make money online and don't have much to start with, this is a pretty strong way to go. It might take a few months for something to hit, but if the blogger finds some good topics, writes some good articles, and networks right - who the hell knows.
