Which kind of website can earns more money, affiliate website or adsense? Also, which one can bring faster results and with less work?
 
Build a website and do both!
Ads and affiliates to earn more and diversify.

Don't start off with the mentality of "faster and less work".
SEO (like any other skill in IM) is something that takes little time to learn the basics but a very long time to master.
You will probably see affiliate and ads results in 6 months to 2 years of consistent work, depending on your niche, skills,budget,.....

I see most people here talking about affiliate websites, but only few talking about adsense. I know for adsense you need more traffic. I have some bad experience for adsense because my website earns me with 500 visitors only 0.25-0.40 cents. I think with affiliate website earnings could be much more, what do you think? I failed with site for adsense because I'm on broad niche instead of more specific niche. Now im planning to create new website but don't want to spend lots of time for articles, I want something with less articles to make some money. Even $100 per month will be ok to motivate me. Then I will go higher.
 
Affiliate site
 
Ads is not only adsense.
When you get higher traffic try mediavine (25k a month) or ezoic (10k a month, pays decent but slows down your site)
Once you get 100K pageviews a month go for adthrive.
These premium ad networks pay out a lot more!
 
Everyone here is saying affiliate site. But to be honest, it depends. Since non-affiliate paying keywords are so much easier to rank, you might as well go with an AdSense site instead.
 
It you have an affiliate site trust me you don't want to distract your visitors with silly Adsense ads that'll give you pennies instead of going for the major products for which you get a good percentage.
If you're going to combine ads with affiliates, then at least make it a decent ad company.
 
Affiliate will give better results but there is more competition in it because of the same fact.
 
Affiliate give result faster, with adsense you need time to get approval , indexed, and rank.

Start of with affiliate as it will allow you to earn more money faster. How fast you can earn a job replacement income depends on where you live and your expenses. Time expectation: 6 months minimum if your good at SEO to 2 years to get rolling as a site. You will need to in some way satisfy the 'advertisers' that pay you affiliate commissions. So you basically cant be totally honest in your reviews.

Once your site has enough traffic you have the choice to try out ads instead with higher paying rates as mentioned in quote above. Running ads will free you up to write about what you want which is good your brands reputation and you can target low difficulty keywords that affiliate sites dont care about. When you are an affiliate all your competition is competing for 'best this and that 2020') and it boils down to long tail keywords in the end to find something with less competition like: 'best this and that for back pain 2020' that your competition missed when doing keyword research with MOZ, Semrush or Ahrefs.

Start with affiliate as mentioned, and you must learn SEO also.
 
Both is working but affiliate site suggest, because I think affiliate site is faster.
