This is yet another way for advertisers to leverage the ability of influencers in a certain niche to reach customers — the influencer doesn’t have to push your products every day, they can just say one time “hey this is a great newsletter about X and they include coupons every week, you should sign up” and their influence is instantly monetized and a relationship between customer and advertiser is not only created, but locked in.

  3. I can’t find one that isn’t already taken — collaborative marketing, citizen marketing, open-source marketing — they’re all close. Ultimately it’s about completely “flattening” marketing as we know it so that anyone anytime can market a product and get compensated. If you can come up with a term I’d forever be in your debt 🙂

    Write up a piece and I’ll post it here as well.
