Hey AffiliateFix community!
First off, huge thanks for having such an active and welcoming forum—I've been lurking for a couple of days and already feel like there's a ton of gold here for someone like me who's just dipping their toes into affiliate marketing. I'm Agustodonasiano, a complete newbie with zero experience, but I'm motivated because I need to start generating some side income pretty soon (bills don't pay themselves, right?). That said, I really want to play by the rules and contribute positively, not step on any toes.
I've read the forum guidelines on the main page, but some parts are still a bit fuzzy for a total beginner like me. Could some of you veterans (or mods) chime in with quick clarifications? Specifically:
Appreciate any pointers—I'm here to learn, network, and eventually share back once I get my feet under me. Looking forward to your wisdom!
Cheers,
Agustodonasiano
(P.S. If there's a better section for this post, let me know—happy to move it!)

That said, I really want to play by the rules and contribute positively, not step on any toes.
I've read the forum guidelines on the main page, but some parts are still a bit fuzzy for a total beginner like me. Could some of you veterans (or mods) chime in with quick clarifications? Specifically:
- Rules Overview for Newbies: What are the top 3-5 rules I should laser-focus on to avoid accidentally breaking them? For example, I see sections like "Introductions" and "Newbie Helpdesk," but I'm not sure if cross-posting questions or sharing resources in the wrong spot could get me in hot water.
- Asking for Help Without Soliciting: I'm in a spot where I need practical advice to get started (like basic setup tips or free resources), but I don't want it to come across as me trying to sell or recruit anyone. How do you recommend phrasing questions or starting threads to get genuine help while keeping it 100% non-salesy? Any examples of "do's and don'ts" from your experience?
- Appropriate Links to Share: When discussing strategies or sharing what I've tried, what kinds of links are cool to drop? For instance:
- Educational stuff like free guides or tools (e.g., a link to a YouTube tutorial)?
- My own affiliate links (and if so, only in certain sections)?
- Or should I stick to no links at all until I'm more established?
I just want to add value without spamming.
Appreciate any pointers—I'm here to learn, network, and eventually share back once I get my feet under me. Looking forward to your wisdom!
