My most successful affiliates build trust and credibility through emails. When they endorse a product, that trust moves the offer from being one from a stranger, to being familiar, recommended, and approved. If you don't believe in them, your customers won't. And I do everything in my materials to encourage people to build their lists. If you don't have an email, opt-in list, you are going to stress and waste huge amounts of time and money in low percentage advertising.
Email is based on writing letters, notes, and remembering people.
