I send the traffic directly to sponsors and it just drains my bank account with no joins. Tried cpm, ppc, banners, text etc. The only thing I have not done is buy traffic to send to the blogs. Is this what you are referring to?

Getting traffic is the #1 boondoggle we Webmasters face, and the frustrating thing is that no two webmasters, even if they promote the exact same content, sees the same results. But you can try what Porno Jew said and Colmike7 said. But SEO takes time....
And no, I wasn't referring to buying traffic. As an affiliate I think that's just throwing money away (unless you have some developed Blogs or have some custom landing pages that kill, more on that in a second). So what's left then is being creative with TGPs and free sites and building interesting Blogs you run yourself.....
BUT here's an idea: try building a simple landing page from one of your sponsers, like the one you see here:

Obviously without the table of thumbs below the big content thumbnails. See if this works for you by going to Exoclick or some such site and laying down maybe $100-$200 on some (static) banners. Below the video or next to video is usually best. Monitor those clicks on a 15-minute basis! Your stats will be in relative real time.
Try designing differant banners until your funds run out or you hit on something that turns a profit. The rest is, I feel, pure luck (or the province of bigger advertising minds than mine, and I know they're out there LOL).
But I would seriously think about checking into mainstream affiliate programs, too, while you're at it. Best of luck man!!
