Affiliate newsletters are something that many affiliate program managers would rather do without. They can be a lot of work, finding time to produce affiliate newsletters when you are already busy with a thousand and one other things can be trying at the best of times. What makes matters worse is that it is hard to know for certain whether affiliate newsletters have any tangible benefit at all. We believe that affiliate newsletters are an integral part of the affiliate marketing experience and we are prepared to tell you why.

• Affiliate newsletters build communities. An email in someone’s inbox is a far more personal thing than a post on a blog which they may or may not read. Affiliate newsletters help people to feel a part of a team.
• Affiliate newsletters can motivate. If a person is not having much success selling your products, they might start to think that it is not worth it. Sometimes getting that regular email is what it takes to keep them in the program.
• Affiliate newsletters educate. If you want to get better results from your affiliate network, you can do so by teaching marketing techniques through your affiliate newsletters.
• Affiliate newsletters are discreet. Let’s face it, there are things that you might wish to share with your affiliates that you don’t necessarily want posted on your website. We are not talking about company secrets here as we should always assume that everything that we send will be made public, but if you want to share some statistics or sales figures, you can do so.

There are plenty of reasons why affiliate newsletters make sense. Do you need one? All affiliate networks need affiliate newsletters.
