I actually use both.
I have traditional static websites and I have blogs
You will find that as you get into affiliate marketing, you may want more than one platform.
I have websites in a range of different niches that are totally unrelated to each other. It would therefore be difficult to put them all in the same URL
Having said that, the first place i started was a website. As a newbie, i was highly motivated so the hours I had to put in to learn website building and some html was no hassle
If you are a little short of cash then i suppose a blogger blog would be a place to start. It's free but you need to back up your content, just in case your blog disappears overnight.
The other advantage of blogger blogs is they get indexed quickly and also when you do build a website, you can put a link on your blog to your site. It is said that this helps with getting your site indexed.
Just a quick off topic. I advise that whatever platform you decide on, apply your on page search engine optimization from the start. It just makes life easier with regard to traffic generation
Good luck
