There isn't really much a point in monetizing too early I don't think. Unless you are in a real niche now it's going to take forever to get noticed anyways so just build something you like. If it's simply $$$ easier ways then blogging.

I think it depends on what your goal is. If you want to build up a lot of readers, sometimes monetizing it too early is a turn-off to some people. If you are building multiple blogs for the purpose of making money then I would monetize them from the beginning with a lot of good content.

I believe you should monetize from day 1. The key is figuring out the monetization method and keeping the amount of ads reasonable.

I have ad spots in place for design purposes, then I can design around the ad spots. As well, I sell in depth reviews of websites and guest post a little bit. If you're going to do a blog for money, might as well start early.

I start from day 1, continue experimenting and optimizing my ads.

It depends how you monetarise your blog as probably you do not find any advetisers or Pay per Post customers from day one?
Putting a Adsense, affiliate or "Advertise Here" banners from day one is reasonable as you do not have to change the design later.

I started monetizing early, but I think it's better to get readers first and then monetize.

I always monetize

Monetize from the start while still pressing hard on getting readers is the way to go if you have a good one that ppl are after....
