Once a prospective customer is in your database and can be contacted in some way, lead nurturing refers to the communications provided to that person in order to guide them further along the path toward your products or services.

A classic lead nurturing technique is via email marketing, wherein a series of emails will be sent that are intended to inform the person about your brand and increase their interest in trust in utilizing your products or services.

Software tools that are an end product in themselves, but help to facilitate other services or product creation. Examples include project management software and graphic design software.

Entire companies exist to provide software tools to individuals or businesses, as well as support for those products.

Affiliate marketing is a program wherein third-party individuals or websites (affiliates) generate traffic or leads to a particular product, company or service. These affiliates then get revenue from leads or sales generated by their efforts.

This is common in influencer marketing, for instance, where an image or video will link to certain products, and the influencer will receive a small portion of any sales made from the link they provide. Certain industries will have opt-in programs as well, such as photography sites that provide affiliate links to the gear they use in exchange for revenue from the companies who benefit.
