Monetizing a website can be done in several ways by displaying ads, selling own products and services or promoting affiliate links.
Each of these approaches has its own pros and cons.
For showing ads from advertising networks you have to sign up and place some code on your website to show their ads. Advertisers offer various ad formats in different styles and sizes that will fit well into your website. You have thin option to choose what ads will be shown.
And most important you’ll need a ton of traffic to see a buck. By lot of traffic thin about 2$ CPM = 2$ for one thousand views on ad shown on your site.
That’s poor, you’ll need mush more than that to squeeze any money from displaying ads.
Promoting affiliate offers can be much more profitable. With a single sale you can earn that much if not several times more from just one single sale made through your affiliate link. You don’t need to do anything, just try to drive traffic and promoting your affiliate links.
Selling your own products and services is another story.

If you have a good product, better price and better product then competition you might earn a lot more with a little marketing effort. Can sell your stuff on specialized markets and promote by showing ads on your site.
Showing ads from advertisers might not look the best option as same ads are showing over and over on thousands of websites and the share you get is so tiny.
Affiliate links pay much greater commissions if purchase is made as you can put a ad (or two) on your site.
Lastly comes your own products and services which you can control but it may be hard and time consuming to run a business your self and especially chasing for customers.
