An affiliate publisher who promotes products primarily through email newsletters to a subscribed audience. Characteristics that distinguish newsletter affiliates from content publishers: subscribers have opted in (higher baseline trust than passive content readers); recommendations land in a focused reading context rather than an interruption environment; attribution uses both affiliate links and publisher-specific discount codes (email clients can interfere with standard cookie tracking); conversion rates typically run 2-5× higher than the same publisher's content affiliate placements. Commission rates: 10-25% for niche professional newsletters; flat fee + commission for larger lists. Minimum viable engagement metric: 25%+ open rate indicates active list.
