Default Monetising: choose between a website or blog?

Hi all

If you had the choice, which would you do; start a website or a blog, if your goal was to make money from it?

The reason is that I'm currently making money off-line (about 100 euro per month) by recommending a service to individuals (in Ireland) and I'm getting paid for referring them. With a little more effort, I could increase that revenue by turning those offline conversations into either a website or blog - and I'm wondering whether people think I should start a blog about the topic - or create a more formal website - or somewhere in between?

I have a website and blog for another affiliated business, so I think I can generate enough content for either. Bit I'm not technically gifted. I also have databases (built up in the other affiliated business) that I can use for e-mail etc and cross selling.

Any thoughts?
