Have you thought about contacting businesses which offering services in the cryptocurrency space? They might be interested in setting up affiliates or directly sponsoring content that you could write about. This is very popular with fiat websites and you would be one of the only people offering a blog about cryptocurrency which would put you in a unique position for earning crypto. By contacting them directly I think you will earn more then adding random affiliate links to your website and you will gain more commission.
Do you mean having a partnership with the most influencer crypto services like an exchange, very well-known people, or anything as long as they are also reputable or large companies. I got your point and it might be a good idea, but sometimes project/company owners are quite busy improving their product or services offered if they are in line with that business.
There's a lot of competition now among bloggers or freelancers, making Facebook ads and Google ads or any big company where you can link to your blog site has a great advantage.
