About this site
Cursor Starter Guide is a simple editorial affiliate site for people who are curious about Cursor but need a path, not another hype thread. It focuses on setup, prompts, first projects, debugging, Claude pairing, and hardware basics.
Why it exists
The goal is to help visitors make one productive choice instead of bouncing between tool pages, YouTube opinions, and scattered hardware threads.
How we make money
Primary monetization comes from the Cursor referral link: the current dashboard offer gives new users 50% off their first month and may reward the referrer with $25 in Cursor usage credit after a qualifying plan purchase, up to 10 rewards per billing cycle. Secondary monetization can come from Claude referral traffic and from Amazon/eBay hardware search links once your approved affiliate IDs are added.
What we avoid
No fake earnings dashboards, no official logos copied into ads, no treating Cursor usage credits like cash, no guaranteed discount language after the offer changes, and no pretending that affiliate links are neutral.
