Email marketing is the process of sending out your affiliate offers, to a list of email addresses that you have captured via your website. If you have a list of data that you’d like to monetise via email, or you’re interested in building one, the next question is, ‘Which email marketing platform should I use?’. The answer will depend partly on your budget, partly on the size of your list and the specific functions you are looking for.
Mailchimp is a brilliant platform. However affiliates should be aware that Mailchimp will ban accounts that send emails with bad affiliate links.

Email marketing costs can add up if you are mailing on a regular basis, to a large list of prospects. This isn’t a problem if you are making a return on your investment, but you could end up losing money if you don’t closely monitor this activity.

Hey Rob, correct they do have very strict rules when it comes to what you promote. It is a good idea to read their rules regarding affiliate marketing before you start using MailChimp. They do allow affiliate links so long as you are not for example, sending solo campaigns and instead sending newsletter campaigns. We used MailChimp for years for WOW Freebies (an affiliate site of ours) without any issues, just make sure to follow the rules :).
