One growing trend I have noticed for high ticket items, the affiliate mailing list is becoming more and more the primary sales channel.

If I sign up as an affiliate, I want new cutting edge products to sell.

I use different email addresses for affiliate news and sales pitches.

Whilst selling to your affiliate base might seem like a "no brainer", I am not looking for sales pitches of products I won't get to sell, and it makes me less likely to promote other products.
