Other than something like an affiliate, there's nothing really.

I think only the very top players make good money from actually playing the game. So other than becoming a chess streamer / influencer I don't think there's much! 
The affiliate program seems to be chess.com making modest payments or providing gift subscriptions to members that get them a lot of new premium subscribers - or you have a club with a lot of members in. 
I think it's best to just enjoy playing the game really.

I think at a lower elo rating (1,000 - 1,500) it would be harder to coach? I can imagine people respect your knowledge backed up by your rating which is pretty high!

See if Chess.com will sponsor your lemonade stand or be your sponsor in next year’s soapbox derby.

Winning chess tournaments. Other than that, you can't.
