Q: How can I get started in email affiliate marketing? And can I make money with it?
A: I’ll answer your second question first. Yes, you can certainly make money with it if done correctly.
As far as getting into email as an affiliate, it depends on what you’re willing to invest into it.
My first suggest is to sign on with an email service provider or email solution provider (ESP). The one I use is AWeber.
These ESP’s will provide you with the tools you need to build and maintain email lists, as well as analytics to help determine whether you get more response on certain days and at certain times.
In the case of AWeber, you can also perform split testing and set up lists where the emails automatically mail at specified dates and times from content in your RSS feed.
There are many options out there, so just search on Google for email providers.
You also have the option to rent lists from third parties for your mailings. Personally, I prefer to build lists organically, as I’ve found them to be more responsive.
So basically, once you have your email list established, just join up with the various affiliate and CPA networks and promote offers that are relevant to your audience.

Thanks I appreciate the info very much.
No problem. The one I've personally been using for the past 3 years is ARP and I'm very pleased with their service. The customer service here is impeccable & yes they DO allow bulk imports, but your leads must be fresh and from a quality source.

Hi John, what is the name of the dedicated mailing server that you use? I have quite a list of purchased leads that I don't know what to do with. I tried to import with Aweber, but that didn't quite work out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Aweber is more of an AR system you want to get the leads you purchase through a reputable opt-in vendor to. I personally use a dedicated mailing server for importing those leads that I purchase to get them truly opted-in to my online newsletter sent out via Aweber. This also gets you much higher open rates because they are a verified sender with a majority of the ISP's
Hope this helps,
John Denton
Correct – I didn't mean to give that impression.
One of my favorite things about AWeber is their vigilance against spam, and the resulting effective deliverability.
You can't rent lists and easily import/use them in aweber, unless you email those lists with some incentive to sign up to your aweber list.
Email Marketing – how about the regular emails we all send externally every day?
Organizations have websites.
Employees send emails.
WrapMail, without installing anything on any desktop or cell phone facilitates:
Every email becomes a showpiece for the organization.
Every employee becomes a marketer.
No other marketing or advertising medium is as targeted as an email between people that know each other (as opposed to mass emails). These emails are always read and typically kept.
WrapMail turns your everyday email into a branding and research tool (yes, the system reports who is clicking on what and when) for your business at a cost of $5 per user per month.
