Super Affiliates and E-mail
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
Is it possible to become a super affiliate without sending a single e-mail campaign?
Absolutely. E-mail is just one of many methods for marketing affiliate links. There are many super affiliates who don’t use e-mail at all.
For instance, some affiliates run content sites that rely on organic traffic from search engines and other sources.
There are affiliates that concentrate on e-mail, but they’re typically focused on pushing leads vs. retail offers.
Super affiliates run sites based on data feeds, there are bloggers on niche topics, PPC arbitrage players, etc.
Any way you can market online can be leveraged by affiliates, and e-mail doesn’t have to play a role.
E-mail is not essential to make it big as an affiliate, though it makes sense to me to incorporate it in your strategy.
Why not include a double opt-in e-mail list, so you can mail out newsletters or updates to interested folks?

email’s a tactical technology for you to follow up with your leads/customers. You could just as easily use a yahoo group, a RSS feed.
What’s more important is to have a broad plan in mind and decide how all the tiny bits fit into it.
The bigger question is how much more the email follow up will add to your bottom line especially if you have zero additional customer acquisition cost (after your initial burst of lead generation through PPC or co-reg or other means.)
Following up with your customers probably makes the most sense when you have a gameplan in mind about how you’re using a sequence of followups to either build customer stickiness, loyalty or close the sale.
