Trying To Make Money With Affiliate Links (Need Help)

So im trying to get into learning about how to make money off my Affiliate links and such and advertise and so on so forth. I was wondering what are some tips and maybe hope you got into making money with your Affiliate links. Im just trying to learn as much as I can as im only 16 (turning 17 in april) just trying to make some money as a side income since I dont have a job right now cause I only have my permit.

First, it's usually a long term plan. It is hard to start from very little knowledge and make money right away. Most people only make $1 their first year and then they just give up. What do you have interests in? Making videos? Writing blogs? Pure blackhat anything to make money? Video Games? It's usually best to try to find something that you are interested in, and start a website or social media channel (Twitter or YouTube) based on that kind of content, then share the links with your readers.
