As you get started as an affiliate marketer you’re probably going to run into a few unfamiliar terms. I’d like to break down a few common terms before we get too far into this article. Advertiser: In the context of affiliate marketing, the advertiser is the product creator. This is the brand or company that you’ll work with as an affiliate marketer to promote their products. They will pay you a commission every time your link is used to make a sale. Publisher: This word refers to the affiliate marketer. You are the publisher who creates content and posts your link to affiliate products on various marketing channels. Consumer: You probably already know this one, but just in case, the consumer is your target audience. You want to craft your entire strategy around the consumer and create content that addresses their needs so that you can gain leads.
Along with email marketing, GetResponse offers landing pages, opt-in forms, webinar hosting, a CRM tool, and plenty of other marketing automation tools. (You can learn more about GetResponse by reading reviews.)
