I have used mail chimp, which is free for the first 500 subscribers.

However, their forms are not as good as aweber.

Is there any specific reason why affiliate marketing is not allowed in Mailchimp ?

Thanks for letting us know. I was considering to give MailChimp a try. Although I plan to use it for my own business list, I have to ask myself if I would not want to promote some aff offer at some point. Hmm.

I use MailChimp exclusively; but, I don't do Affiliate Marketing though. I am absolutely in love with their API; actually, they're the only ones who offer an API outside of Constant Contact, (and CC's API sucks).

If you're business model is not built around Affiliate Marketing, I wouldn't make the decision to not use MailChimp based solely on their dislike of Affiliate Marketing. If you get worried about sending out messages regarding an Affiliate Offer.. they give you full capabilities to download your entire list and mail from an in-house system.

If you're employing a whitelisting education system to your subscribers then your deliverability won't suffer from an in-house mailing; as your sending email address will already be on their whitelist.

GroupMail is a wonderful in-house mailer.

I did contact MailChimp with the following question:

"What if I sell my own products but every now and then I add an affiliate link to a product I recommend to my subscribers?"

Here is what they said:

Good afternoon Dr. Dan,

Thanks for writing in! As long as the campaign is branded as your site and only an affiliate link is included in the campaign that your recipients asked to receive, that would be fine.

Feel free to email us back if you have specific questions or comments beyond this that we can assist you with!

Interesting ...

The only downside i can see is that you build up a list with optins and then they ban your account because even though you have this answer from them - its a grey area in that TOS says no Affiliate Marketing. so exactly how do you quantify "every now and then"

eventually you will build the list and have to start paying - with the ever present danger of being shut off at any time

We are talking about building long term businesses with long term customers ...

You decide your course of action ...
You know the risks

I'll stick to Imnicamail thanks ...

Do you understand their answer? Because I don't. At all. The campaign is branded as your site and only an affiliate link is included in the campaign? WTF does that mean? What is this "campaign" they're talking about?

I agree with you, Caliban. It makes absolutely no sense at all. (It's been discussed in at least one other thread).

The forum's full of people who've built up lists with MailChimp and suddenly lost them because they're so strict about affiliate marketing being prohibited.

As someone said only the other day: if they even catch a scent that you're doing affiliate marketing, they'll just close down your account and then refuse even to discuss it with you. Life is too short for potential problems like this, when they have such unambiguous terms of service displayed on the site!

Thanks

automateyourlist.com is an Aweber reseller. I use them and love them. I believe I paid for the whole year via Paypal. They are also cheaper than Aweber.

Profollow is also on my list. Could you tell me if they offer good tutorials? Do they offer an API and integration with other CRM, CMS ...?

How do you find Profollow vs the new Aweber? Would you say that it would cripple the campaigns efforts?

Honestly, I wouldn't use an altenative! I had the same the problem as you. I also don't have a visa account but Aweber is so highly reccommended I changed banks so I could go Aweber. Until my account was set up I asked a friend if i could set it up on hers. She was fine with that because it was only $1 for the first month.

Autoresponder - Email Aces Autoresponders is ok if you are just starting out. I'm using them for a couple of niche sites. Though for more serious work you really need to look into aweber

im finding the lack of optin form maker in imnica mail very frustrating. if they had that feature, it would add incredible value to their already wonderful service. id stick with aweber if you arent good with html and want to make nice looking optin forms.

1. Depending on a country you're in, there has to be a way to get at least a pre-paid VISA or MASTERCARD and use that to pay for Aweber. Paypal Pro gives you a free Mastercard linked to your account. In Canada and US you can go to a drugstore and buy a pre-paid Mastercard (don't buy AmEx though as it will only work on a website hosted in the country where you bought that card).

2. White label version of Aweber very cost-effective (I personally have 2 lists hosted with xmailpro). Just know that these use Aweber code circa 2006 and miss some of the new functions (advanced analytics, time-zone based delivery, and re-send to unopens).

I use goldbar.net, been with them since 2007, they spend $thousands per month just to stay white listed and get emails through... and they're very global minded.

They're not better or worse than Aweber from what I've seen.
