Blogs do not really make money like people say they can. Yes you can get adsense on blogs as long as they follow the guidelines and TOS but unfortunately none of my blogs does due to one of my blogs are adult content and reviews adult novelties all while they have advertisement for alcohol on adsense.
Since I could not have adsense to monetize my blogs I have affiliate marketing links and ads to at least try to make some kind of revenue in which that doesn't really make anything either.
When starting off and needing money to the point you are trying to find anything that will make you something please do not get your hopes up with blogging because I'm here to tell you I have been here since 2016 and have not really made anything.
I made a few sales with the affiliate marketing links here and there but not enough to get a payout which sucks.
Another thing I will say is don't get tangled up in affiliate marketing. It is not worth it. You will spend your time giving them free advertisement while you make nothing and it does not matter the company nor what they say you can make because you won't make it and I rather tell you now than you get your feelings hurt thinking it will bring in quick cash.
Also third party affiliate sites are not worth your time. If you still do decide to affiliate marketing then go to their websites and sign up as an affiliate from there.
People won't click on off the wall tracking links because they don't know what they are unless they have the company and site name in the link.
