How I Started Affiliate Marketing

How I Started The Affiliate Marketing (And How You Can Too).

Hey! I'm so excited you're here — whether you stumbled on FINWISE-HUB through a link, a recommendation, or pure curiosity.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent hours Googling “how to make money online” or “best passive income ideas” and landed in a sea of confusing advice, sales funnels, and overhyped promises. I’ve been there.

I didn’t have a huge following, a tech background, or a marketing degree. I just had curiosity, a laptop, and a little determination. That’s how I found affiliate marketing — and it honestly changed the game for me.

🚀 What Is Affiliate Marketing (In Real Words)

Affiliate marketing is simply earning a small commission when someone purchases something through a link you share — no selling, no shipping, no customer service. Just honest recommendations.

I started by sharing tools I already loved:
✅ Honey — for saving money on shopping
✅ Rakuten — for cashback every time I shop
✅ Shopify — to help others launch their online stores
✅ Marketing courses — that helped me learn all of this from scratch

These weren’t random — they were tools I actually used. And when I saw they offered affiliate programs, I figured… why not share and earn from it?

💡 How You Can Start Too

  1. Pick a niche you care about (finance, wellness, beauty, tech — anything!)
  2. Find affiliate programs that match what you genuinely use or trust
  3. Create content — blog posts, TikToks, Instagram tips, Pinterest pins
  4. Stay honest — people trust your voice, not pushy sales
  5. Be patient — this isn’t overnight money, but it can grow over time

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be real.

💬 Final Thoughts

I started FINWISE-HUB to share what’s working for me and what’s worth your time. No hype. No BS. Just real tools, smart savings, and resources that actually help.

If you’re curious about starting your own affiliate journey — or just want to shop smarter — stick around. I’ll keep sharing what I learn, what I use, and what I truly recommend.
