Newer here, sorry.
I've watched about 10 hours of Adam Renfroy videos on Youtube and now I'm ready to go for it. I'm a writer by trade.
Anyone here make any decent money from blogging?

Question I would ask you is do you want to write things that you care about or do you want to write things that theoretically make money?

My quit your job and work remotely from exotic locations Youtube role model says 80 percent informative blog posts and 20 percent transactional/affiliate marketing posts.

I subscribe to a finance substack and those guys easily clear a few hundred k at the top

^^^ Sounds solid. What's the substack, do you remember?

I looked into this years ago, but I’m not sure how much the landscape has changed recently. The blog market is saturated in almost all fields. You’re going to have to combine your writing with an active social media presence.
The real trick is learning SEO, affiliate marketing, and selling courses. Again, you’ll be using social media to drive traffic, but once the traffic is there, you can be successful.
My experience was difficult. I started a guitar Instagram and a YouTube channel with the intention of selling courses on a website. It was a lot of work for very little payoff. If I had stuck with it, it might (well probably would have) have grown into something substantial. But I couldn’t imagine dedicating a year or two into it only to see it fizzle out. I gave up after 4 months even though my accounts were growing.

There are two real options:
1 Write incredibly well about a subject you're an expert in and become active enough on social media that pepole will eventually be willing to pay a few bucks a month to be able to read your insights. This takes a very long time or a very large presence to convert.
2 Affiliate marketing and SEO rich blog posts like your boy Adam describes. They make it sound so simple, and it is, but the catch is you have to already know how to do the little things that go into it. SEO management, affiliate links, how to find niches you can thrive, which blog setups work, best tools to plug in. Once you have a marketing background the rest can become pretty automatic. Trouble is all that individual knowledge is not quick to obtain.
About once a year I get a wild hair to do this, set up a blog, start writing, and then forget it exists until my domain renewal comes up.

^^^ From the little bit I've been able to gather so far, I'm thinking that the secret is becoming an Ahrefs ninja and being able to analyze Ahrefs, in terms of figuring out which topics and which affiliate marketing blogs have a chance of ranking on Google and which ones don;t stand a chance in hell.
