I’m Paul, a full-time, self-supporting missionary, and NewToAffiliateMarketing.com is my site for complete beginners who want to learn affiliate marketing the right way. Whatever I earn from affiliate marketing supports my family and my ministry.
About me
I joined Wealthy Affiliate in October 2018. I came to it after running into three online marketing scams, and I had no technical knowledge and no background in running an online business. I learned website building, SEO and affiliate marketing step by step, and I earned my first affiliate commission after about three months.
Why I started this site
I started this site on purpose, to help beginners learn how to start affiliate marketing the right way and build a successful online business. Beginners get a lot of conflicting information, expensive courses and promises of fast money, so I want the basics explained honestly and in plain language.
Who this is for
This site is for people who want to learn affiliate marketing, build their first website and start an online business, but don’t know where or how to begin. You don’t need any experience with affiliate marketing, website building, blogging, SEO, content creation or making money online.
You might be a student, a working professional, a stay-at-home parent, a retiree, a freelancer, or someone who wants a second source of income. These are the questions I hear most from people in your position, and the ones I write about:
- What is affiliate marketing, and how does it work?
- Can I start with no experience, or with little or no money?
- Do I need a website to become an affiliate marketer?
- How do I choose a profitable niche?
- How can I build a WordPress website without coding?
- How do I find affiliate programs and promote products?
- How can I get free traffic from Google?
- How can I avoid affiliate marketing scams?
- Is Wealthy Affiliate legitimate, and is it suitable for beginners?
What you will find here
You will find beginner-friendly articles, step-by-step tutorials, honest reviews, real-life experiences and practical website-building demonstrations. They are written to be followed at your own pace, and the aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to begin. If a term is new to you, affiliate marketing terms explained covers the common ones in simple language.
I build trust before I promote anything. I don’t promise quick money, guaranteed earnings or overnight success. I encourage you to learn useful skills, take consistent action, create helpful content and build an online business over time.
You don’t need to be a technology expert to start. You need honest guidance, the right tools, patience and a willingness to learn.

That is one of the ways my work here supports my family and ministry.
