• Use double opt-in to ensure a clean, engaged list
  
• Tag leads based on past content interactions or referral source

• Send product tutorials, comparison emails, and setup guides featuring your affiliate link
  
• Educate subscribers about real-world use cases, time-saving features, and business benefits

• Use visual aids (GIFs, product screenshots, charts) to enhance clarity

• Use a strong call to action such as “Start Free Trial,” “Compare Plans,” or “Download Now”
