Hi everyone,

[PeppermintBandit]

I’ll keep this short and to the point.


I'm a home carer for an elderly relative, something I’ve been doing since I was around 12 or 13. Alongside that, I’ve always dabbled in online selling — running small websites, facebook groups, selling on eBay, Etsy, Amazon Marketplace, and so on — since my teens. I’m now in my early 30s.


It’s always just been hobby income, bringing in a bit of extra cash here and there, adding some into various cryptos ect but i never made it big, so losing it isn’t the end of the world. I’ve decided to step away from that side of things and start fresh with a clean slate.


Now, I’m hoping to turn my spare time into a more reliable and genuine source of income. I’ve been following this group for a while, reading people’s guides and soaking up advice, and I’ve decided to give affiliate marketing a real shot.


I’ve tried looking for remote or work-from-home opportunities but haven’t had much luck so far. Since I’ve been a carer most of my life, I don’t have a traditional CV — but I do have hands-on experience with platforms like WordPress (I can build and configure a site), and I’m fairly confident with various online marketplaces.


Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi — and I’d really appreciate any tips, resources, or advice anyone’s willing to share as I get started with affiliate marketing.


Thanks for having me!
