Do any of you monetize your blogs? I have a Wordpress blog that's been getting some traffic (it's an anime review blog) and wonder if I shouldn't look into putting ads on it for an extra bit of pocket money. Anyone have any experience?

I also recently was messaged by someone looking to affiliate with their company - I think the idea is that I'd put their ad on my blog and if someone clicked and bought anything, I'd get a percentage or something. (The affiliate in question is apparently an online manga reading site). Not sure if it's legitimate or not, but anyone have experience with that sort of thing, too?
