Hi i've been mailing for about 9 months now and I keep having issues with Esps. I've been banned from 2 already. I can't figure out why this keeps happening. Compliance tells me its because i'm marketing 3rd party affiliate links but it seems like everyone else doing the same thing. My list is super clean. Its all first party data that's being api'd into kickbox.io (list cleaner) then api'd into my Esp (Aweber, Campaign Monitor). After that i double opt'd them in before they get an email with an offer sent to them. I have a .01 spam complaint rate and my average email opens above 30% and as high as 85%. I my subscribers are engaged and seem to like what i'm sending them.

What are you guys doing to send affiliate offers with out getting banned by your esp's?

Also has anybody used Reach Mail and if so how do you like it?

Thanks

    Why did the 2 ESPs terminate your account?

    What is your unsubscribe rate?

    I would suspect that either you were using an ESP that doesn't allow affiliate marketing, you were marketing something they don't approve of or something was outside of their tolerance range,

      Good point. Its been a long time since I heard that a honest marketer is banned from an ESP.

    Most of the affiliate marketers I know use Getresponse or Aweber. There are many other reputable services, but if you are having problems with affiliate marketing using either of these 2 you are definitely breaking some rules or terms of service. I'd move to one of these if you haven't used them already. I'm sure you'll get a clear explanation for any problems. Live chat is a good way to get answers quickly.

    As an ESP it's rare that we ban or terminate accounts. From time to time, yes, we need to have a conversation with clients about what is and what isn't working, but provided our clients follow some basic guidelines/content policies, there's no reason we can't send email in harmony.

    Feel free to PM me and let's see if we're a good fit. If not, I'm happy to share some insight as to how you might be more successful at your next ESP.

    Its not allowing me to PM you because my post count is to low. Could you private message me Sirmailsalot? I'd love to open a dialog about your esp and how we can work together.

    To succeed in affiliate marketing, you need people to click your links. Without passing through a link with your affiliate tag, any action a user takes is valueless to you. With that tag, though, it's a whole other story. What you need to do, then, is find places where you can share your affiliate links to get traffic.

    Keep in mind that the best way to promote affiliate products is typically through your own website. All of these ideas are supplemental at best. Always check the terms of service for any site to make sure affiliate links aren't against their rules before you post. The last thing you need is to be blocked from a site where you otherwise have good standing.

    1. A Facebook Page
    2. Your Facebook Profile
    3. Facebook Groups
    4. Google+ Posts
    5. Google+ Groups
    6. Twitter Hashtag Conversations
    (Which is very powerfull)
    7. Pinterest Pins
    8. Instagram Photos
    (Which is very powerfull)
    9. YouTube Videos
    10. Vimeo Videos
    12. LinkedIn Posts
    14. Relevant Forums
    15. Review Sites
    16. Blog Posts
    17. Blog Comments
    (Which is also very powerfull)
    18. Craigslist Ads
    19. Reddit Subs
    (Which is very powerfull)
    20. A Mailing List
    22. Purchased Mailing Lists
    23. Sponsored Mailing List Posts
    24. Dogster

    I hope this will help you to get good traffic source
    Best of luck
