Account farmer— what it means in affiliate marketing
A specialist who creates and warms up advertising accounts in bulk so campaigns have something to run on.
The job exists because platforms ban accounts faster than campaigns die, and it is paid per account that survives moderation. Farming, renting and buying accounts are three different supply routes for the same need.
