affiliate newsletters and suppression lists

[keesjansma3]

Hi all,

I'm right now in the building of an affiliate site, I already did a lot of research on affiliate programs for this market.

I'm struggling with the issue whether or not to start a newsletter for this site. I know 'money is in the list' and all but with the new can spam law and suppression lists and all that, I kind of doubt about it.

I especially wonder how affiliate managers make their suppression lists work.

Do they offer their suppression list to their affiliates or do most say 'you can promote my program into your newsletter' and never give you access to a suppression list.

I hope someone can shine their light on this, I do not wish to get sued for sending spam.

Best regards
Kees

HI Kees,

Great question that I hope someone else can answer. I don't deal with much email or newsletter marketing, other than my own newsletter which I control.
