Without ads and affiliate links, or paid reviews it becomes hard to make money. In such case some options are there like redirecting to amazon store or services.
Why restrict yourself by not adding ads or affiliate links ? more you resist for regular money making practices it’ll be harder for you to earn.
You should try affiliate marketing try to find a product that relates to your site and then promote that product. Whenever a sale is made through your affiliate links you earn commission.
What kind of blog do you have in particular?
You may start a blog that supports for a cause. Writing something that would benefit your readers and asking for their support wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’ve heard some writers making money through donations. but this still nothing compare to making money from advertisements and affiliate links.
