Our Story

The Beginning

Hi, I'm Ali, and I've been in the affiliate marketing trenches for over 10 years. I've seen it all – the golden opportunities, the crushing failures, the industry shifts that made or broke careers, and the tools that promised the world but delivered disappointment.

After a decade of navigating this complex landscape, testing countless affiliate programs, networks, and tools, I realized there was a massive gap in the market. Where could affiliate marketers go for truly honest, experience-based guidance?

Why AFFDude Was Born (2025)

In early 2025, I made a decision. Instead of keeping all this hard-earned knowledge to myself, I would create a platform where serious affiliate marketers could access real, unbiased information. AFFDude isn't just another affiliate marketing blog – it's a community built on experience, transparency, and genuine desire to help others succeed.

Every review, every guide, every recommendation on AFFDude comes from hands-on experience. We don't just talk about affiliate marketing – we live it, breathe it, and profit from it.
