I already have a web site and an aweber account, and I'm working on the content that the subscribers are gonna get in my mailing list. It's my first shot at e-mail marketing. I decided to go with the weight loss niche, because I really know about it, and I can provide authentic no-BS information on the subject. Also I already have a few smaller sites on that niche, which I plan on redirecting to this site, thus I will be getting a decent amount of traffic. I've checked similar weight-loss mailing lists, most of them offer some kind of report, and advertise a product right away. Do they actually write the report themselves, or it is pre-made from some of the affiliate programs? When should I start promoting the affiliate product? I noticed that some of the lists mention the affiliate product along with the information at the first post, and continue mentioning it in the following posts (in a non-agressive manner). Is that a good approach, or should send them 5-6 emails and then start promoting? Need some serious guidance here.. so help out if you can
