Mailchimp was launched as an email marketing network provider. The platform has earned recognition across the globe, part of which is due to its all-in-one marketing platform.

Mailchimp offers email marketing options, opt-in form, CRM, ad capabilities, file hosting, landing page, and social posting. In addition, it provides a transactional email service via Mandrill, which is suitable for sending personalized, e-commerce, and data-driven messages.

Overall, Mailchimp is a successful network. The network has millions of customers across the globe and generated millions in sales. The growth and expansion of Mailchimp could be probably due to its freemium model, which allows users to have access to basic features without spending a dime. For instance, users are allowed to send up to 10,000 emails monthly.

In the nearest feature, Mailchimp development will likely accommodate more e-commerce tools as it has acquired Lemonstand – a former Shopify competitor.

MailChimp is stereotypically known to be a follower and not a leader. If you want to easily predict the next controversial move of Mailchimp, then closely monitor the move made by the big players.

For example, soon after Facebook, Twitter, and Google placed a ban on all cryptocurrency-related ads, Mailchimp followed suit. Facebook now has its own cryptocurrency. What an irony!

MailChimp's reactionary behavior has put the platform in a negative light and also demonstrated a total lack of leadership.

Hi Israel,
Whenever I start looking into email marketing I start to get dejected. The ones I look at usually have disclaimers that say they don't support affiliate marketing, and my site is in the MMO niche promoting WA and affiliate marketing (among other things).
Is there a site you can recommend that is OK with affiliate marketing being the content?
Thanks Israel.

Hi Israel,
I always value your training and insights.
You mention " MailChimp is also known for its measures towards affiliate marketing."
So can you use it to promote WA and affiliate marketing?
If not, which email autoresponder do you recommend for this purpose?
Thanks

How are you doing, MiaL! Oh yes, let me recommend Aweber for you. It's one of the most powerful email service providers that support affiliate marketing and other niches. Thanks for asking!

Though Mailchimp has its referral program through which it offers monkey rewards to partners, the credits cannot be cashed out but can only be used to buy items on the Mailchimp platform.

Thanks Israel,
Is GetResponse as effective as Aweber in support affiliate marketing and other niches. i.e. those that promote Wealthy Affiliate? Also how do the 2 compare in terms of deliverability & overall effectiveness?
Thanks John

Hey John, you're welcome once again! When it comes to effectiveness and deliverability, both of them are very okay, but if you're such a person who loves to automate marketing funnels using autoresponders, I'd recommend Get Response. Other than that, Aweber is equally great from experience. Thanks for asking!

I deeply appreciate your visit, Jamie! Mailchimp Affiliate is one of the rewarding programs in the referral marketing industry and you can accumulate monkey rewards (Mailchimp referral credits), though this cannot be withdrawn into cash. Thanks for your comment!
