What is the best ESP for affiliate?

What can be the best Email platform for affiliates?? (affiliate friendly ESP)

Consider if possible:
-supports forms popus to collect emails from visitors while they read articles
-supports web pushes subscribers along with emails subscriptions

I have a "content" website with very good Organic traffic (SEO), but I'm not capturing them to visit the website again
Looking for ways to get visitors back like emails and webpushes
I want to re-reach them with affiliate offers!

Any other ways to reach them back? They just come once from search engines to find answers for their question and leave... please help

Currently making money from ads & some affiliate links, need to make more of returning visitors (retargeting free/paid)

When choosing a service for affiliate mailings, the most important part is to choose one that's ok with affiliate marketing in general.

For example: Take a look at mailchimp, which is a very popular email service. They specifically list affiliate marketing as an unacceptable business: https://mailchimp.com/legal/acceptable_use/

Personally, I have used getresponse and activecamaign and both worked pretty well. Aweber is also a popular choice. We messed with Drip for a while too, but ended up moving away too, because they are more strict on affiliate offers too.

It's hard to say what platform is the best as they are all different in some ways. Some have a better wysiwyg editor, some have better functions for setting up follow up sequences, some tend to have better deliverability % etc...

All the platforms have some optinboxes too, but there are services that specialize in this, such as https://optinmonster.com/ for example. I had the best success with their full page collections pops.

As for PUSH, you can integrate external push services with the email service, for example Onesignal & Activecampaign: https://www.activecampaign.com/apps/...al-integration Getresponse has a native push platform: https://www.getresponse.com/features...-notifications

Let's see if someone else has more suggestions but getresponse or activecampaign should be good options to start with.

Hey matuloo!
I have tested or heard about all of them
Except Activecampaign.. first time to know about it, seems really big.. very good website, compelling content. It is very similar to a great ESP called Omnisned I use for ecommerce

I consider both of Getresponse & Activecampaign
Getresponse: provides both of emails + webpush but higher price
Activecampaign: dons't provide webpush (but can use Onesignal free plan)

Seems Activecampaign is a winner for me!

Activecampaign is a solid platform, we're using it to manage the email lists for STM and related properties too. I have used getresponse for my personal projects, worked well too. It's really hard to compare these services and say which one is better though. In the end, they both get the job done and it will come down to your personal preferences as you might simply like one of them better, because of the overall layout and setup logic.

You might also want to read this thread from Manu who runs stackedmarketer (former wtaff) newsletter, he started by using activecampaign but then switched to some other service and he explains why: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...I%92ve-learned! There are also some great tips on emailing in the thread.

A relationship with the ESP goes a long, long way. Many ESPs that will shut down a pub sending blanket affiliate offer, have some wiggle room if you talk to them ahead of time and have a good plan to manage complaints and ensure your engagement is up to snuff. Volume that you're sending (i.e. how much money are you going to spend with them) is also a fact with some, IMHO.

Mind sharing what ESPs you've tried?
