Hello dear friendZ! Hope October has kicked off to a lovely start for you and yours! Today brings us a post I’ve been meaning to organize for a while now: Affiliate 101. I’ve done some deep dives lately, and while I hope those continue to be helpful for those of us knee-deep in our affiliate journeys, I have quite a bit of new followerZ (thank you for the support!) and thought it’s probably a great time to hash out a good old fundamentals post.
