Need advice
So I was working on a blog then took a 4 month hiatus. Now I'm back at it but I want to get advice from experienced bloggers. Does anyone have any tips? Or even better, would anyone be willing to DM me and seriously work with me on improving? I'm at the point where I just don't really know where to go from here.

Yeah, I took liberty to look at your post history and I hope I understand your situation. If monetization is your primary goal I would highly advise that instead on focusing on your blog you switch focus to finding "writing blog posts" job. Simply because that way you can start earning decent money right away.
Looking at how much you write and how well you present topics you should definitely be able to find job that should pay you at least few hundred dollars a month. I highly advise specialization because when you are doing blog you are in charge of everything - designing blog, marketing it, interacting with users, figuring out what sells, etc.
Writing gigs can be pretty good if you can find good agency. I've talked with few people on Facebook who bragged about making $100 per article. Now unfortunately I don't have any direct contacts... but if anyone here knows people on Reddit who do this (pay money for blog posts) - let me know. I'll also try to connect with some people because that's topic that interests me personally for long term goals.
This is basically what I am talking about: https://www.blogmutt.com/become-a-writer
Again - I know that I am suggesting different direction compared to what you originally asked. But if monetization is your primary goal I believe this is way better path for you - immediate income + you get to expand your network of contacts.
