Credit based .In credit based safelist you have to have credits to post or send your e-mail message to others and to earn credits you have to read the e-mail messages of other members and click on credit link inside a message so naturally credit based safelists are more effective then the standard tradional ones.

safelists & website traffic

What are safelists?

Safelist is a membership site where each member agree to receive commercial e-mails from all other members without accusing them of spam.

The term "safelist" is derived from the following two points:

   1. A group of people you can mail to is known as a "list", and
   2. Because everybody has agreed to receive e-mails from everybody on the list, the list is "Safe" from Spam complaints.

Ultimately the phrase "this is a safe list" was shortened to "safelist".

As a member of a safelist you have to obey rules and regulation of the safelist and you can e-mail to other members as per your membership level.keep in mind that the opposite is true...EVERY other member of the safelist has the right to send YOU an as per his membership level .
If you are a member of large safelist or many safelist then you will receive great amount of mails so while joining choose Gmail as your sfelist e-mail.

Some of the newer safelists are credit based safelists and you can send e-mail messages as per the points you have.You can earn piont by clicking the credit links which you receive in your e-mails from the other members of sfelists.At start you get sign up points and after that either you have to earn by reading other members e-mails or by purchasing them.

. You get more points by:

    * referring new members to the safelist
    * Clicking links in your admin and list e-mails. These are known as credit links.
    * purchasing them

Are there any features common to safelists?

You can join most safelists as a Free, Pro or in some cases Executive member.Pro and Executive are generally paid memberships.

General posting periods to safelists are:

    - Free members can post once every seven days.
-Free members can only send message to free members only.
    - Pro members can post every day.
-Pro members can sen message to pro and free members only.
    - Exe members can post two or more times per day.
-Executive members can send messsage to every one,free,pro and executive.

You need 2 e-mail addresses.One is for receiving e-mails from other members called safelist e-mail adress.
2nd e-mail address for receiving e-mails from admin called admin e-mail safelist.

If you have join a big safelist or many safelist then you should keep a large e-mail account with enough storage facility.If you want to use free e-mail address you should use G-mail e-mail account.If you do not take necessary measures at start then your e-mail account will be full and the e-mails from the safelist will be bounced back and the safelist will delete your account and ban you.Some of the new type of safelists are not deleting your account but put your account so you will not receive any more mails but at the same time you can not send e-mails to others as well.You have to empty your safelist e-mail address or you have to change the safalist e-mail address and then they will put you on off vacation or not vacation mode and then you start to receive e-mails from other members and you yourself can send message to other members as well.

Important - Some safelist administrators will send you lots of advertisements under the mis understanding that when you joined, you agreed to receive e-mails from "admin" and so they have the right to send you e-mails with advertisements.

You will get less mail from spammers than you will get from safelist "admin"( LOL)

Unfortunately you cannot just download and delete all this "admin" e-mail because there will be legitimate e-mails containing true administration information.

As mentioned previously you will also receive "click links" from safelists that use a points system for sending e-mails.
Should I post my advertisement in text or HTML?

In a lot of safelists you can only post text e-mails...

But a some of the newer scripts allow you to post HTML e-mails. This means you can post e-mails that look like a web page.

The jury is still out on whether posting HTML e-mails to safelists is worth it or not. Certainly the large bulk mailboxes, by default, will not show HTML e-mails, only text e-mails. HTML e-mails are shown as attachments when you open the e-mail.

Why?

Bulk e-mail servers handle vast amounts of e-mails and HTML e-mails are generally bigger in size than a text e-mail and so they greatly increase the load on the servers.

Bear in mind that not all of the auto-posting programs can handle HTML e-mails.

Also, think of your poor readers going through thousands of e-mails, the last thing they want, is to open an e-mail and then have to wait for it to load because you sent them a HTML e-mail.

For now concentrate on sending text e-mails.
Are safelists effective?

If you just want to send emails promoting your website, posting to safelists is a waste of time!

The most effective way to use safelists is to use them to promote your newsletter or ezine. Once the safelist user has opted into your newsletter, you get countless opportunities to promote not just your website but others as well.

The secret is to build a relationship with your subscribers. Not in the sense of making friends, but so that your subscribers trust what you say, and to take the advice you give them (including buy the products you recommend).
How do I know if a safelist is responsive?

There is a very useful resource known as TrafficHoopla which continuously tests and publishes the most effective safelists.

The web page at TrafficHoopla has a list which contains the top five safelists plus a few more slightly less effective safelists (at the bottom of the page).

If you want to find more effective safelists you will have to take out a paid monthly membership.

If you are not interested in spending any money and still want to find which safelists are effective, you'll have to do some work and maintain accurate records...

A bad ad will not get many responses from a very responsive safelist and a good ad might get as many responses from an unresponsive safelist.

The only way you will be able to tell which safelists are responsive is to compare them against each other.

   website traffic & safelists

1st of all what is a safelist?

In simple words a safelist is a one kind of membership site where each member agrees to receive commercial mail from all other members of the safelist without accusing the member of spam.we call a group of people a "list" whom we can send message and because every memberof the "list" agrees to receive commercial message from the all other members of the "list" without accusing the sender of the spam so the list is "safe" safe for mailing or sending message.So the actual term was "It is a safe list" and from that it was shortened and generated a new term "Safelist" which became popular.

So as a safelist member you have right to send message frequently to all the other members of the list.The frequency of sending message or mail is depend on your membership level and different for various safelist.I mean every safelist has its own rules and regulations

Do not forget that all other members of the safelist has same right and you are agreed to receive e-mail from them.That mens you should have big e-mail account with lots of space as you are going to receive lots of mails from other members.

There are new generation of safelists which are called credit based safelist.Credit based safelists operate on the bases of point system or credit system.When you join a credit based safelist you will get certain credits or point as a sign up bonus and the credits or points will decide how may members you can send message to.And with each message certain credits or points are deducted from your account and any time if the credits or point reach zero then you can not send message to any member until you earn back credits.There are ways to earn credits.Basically there are main 2 ways to earn credits or points from a credit based safelist and those are 1.clicking credit link in the messages you receive and 2. by refering new members 3. by clicking banners on the safelist site or banner displayed on the top frame when you click a credit link and visit the advertised site 4. lastly by purchasing them.In short if you want to send message to other members you must earn required credits.

So the credit based safelist is more responsive and beneficial than a simple traditional safelist because every one has to read mails to earn credits or points so your message is going to get definite exposer.

Common features of safelists :

Generally all safelists have 2 types of membership levels 1. Free and 2.Pro or Paid Membership and some safelists have more mebership levels such as Executive and Platinum.

General frequncy for sending message at each membership level for safelists are as below

    -Every 7 days for free membership levels.
    -Everyday for a pro membership level.
    -2 times a day for executive membership levels etc.

At start before the auto submit services was existing,there was a need for only one e-mail account to join a safe list but after the auto submit services came into existence the volume of mails received by a member is increased vastly.And so admin or owner messages get mixed up in all these messages and memners were not finding or reading news and other updates from admin or owner so the new scripts were born which require 2 seperate e-mail addresses...1.Safelist e-mail address where you will receive mails from other members and 2. admin/contact e-mail address where you will receive messages from admin or owner.I

Remember you have to keep your list e-mail address big and have to keep it clean by regularly deleting messages which you could not read because you are going to receive lotsI of mails from other members at this e-mail address.If you don't do this then continuty of your account with safelists is going to jeoparize as with full list e-mail address,the mails from the safelists are going to bounce back and safelists will either delete your accounts or put your accounts on vacation mode where the incoming mails from safelists will be stopped but you can also not post your message to other members until you solve the problem.

As I wrote above if you have joined multiple safelists you are going to receive lots of mail and so you should solve this problem either by using auto delete software or using a big e-mail address like G-mails.

Do not forget that you are also going to get lots of commercial mail ads from safelists' admins under the wrong understanding of admins.Admins understand that you join the safelists so you have agreed to receive mails from them.Sometime you will get more e-mail ads from admins than a spammer can send.So you also need big e-mail account for your admin as well. Remember you can not delete all the mails for admins as there are really useful messages about site news etc.

As I said before the safelists which use credit sytem will send yout the clickable credit links and by clicking them you will earn credits and as per your credits it will be decided how many e-mails you can send.In the old traditional safelists only text e-mails were allowed but new generation of safelists provide you facility to send html e-mails as well.

Still it is the point of discussion whether to post html e-mails or plain text e-mails while using safelists. because html e-mails are bigger than plain text ones and use more server resources.Morever big e-mail boxes by defalut configured not to display html e-mails and if show them then as attachements.

Keep in mind that all auto posting programs can not have facility to handle html e-mails.

One more point to consider is that most safelists have global audiance and every one uses different internet connection with different speed.So users who use slow connection will have to wait for loading html e-mail and no body linkes waiting when he is browsing thousands of e-mails so in my opinion it is better to send plain text e-mail message than html one.

Ouestion is Safelist Advertsing is effective or not?

In my opinion direct selling to safelists is waste of time.In sted you should try to generate leads and subscribers.Offer something valuable free and once someone subscribe to your list,you have too many opprtunity to promote your products or affiliate products.

What is the best product/s to offer?Simple in my opinion if you are promoting at free advertising sites then the choice of product/s should be related to free advertising to generate leads or subscribers.If you are promoting at free adbords then the choice of product/s should be related to free adboards for generating leads or subscribers.Same way the choice for safelists should be the produc/s related to safelists.

Do you have such product/s ?If not I have here solution : I have got a safelist related site where you can download the products related to safelists.Some of the products will come with resale rights,some of the products will come with give away rights and rest of the products will be for personal use only.For example you will get a safelist submitter software which will come with give away rights,3 e-books written by me will come also with give away rights,exceptionally good quality safelist videos with give away rights.Here I will mentioned these only because I have got very high response with these products.If you want to do what i did and achieve very high response like me then you should make a bundle of the products I mentioned here and give away the package through(You are not going to get resale rights so nothing to worry about money) your safelistes e-mail advertising.I recommend you to read the e-books yourself and watch the videos so you yourself will learn safelist marketing properly and will be able to achieve desired result.There are many other products with resale rights and to get more information visit the site,link is down this page or visit the section our other sites.

You may know or may do not know but internet marketing,specially list(Not safelists but I amspeaking about your own subscribers' list)marketing is in another words relationship marketing.You should build relationship with subscribers.I am not telling you to make friends but try to provide help honestly.Do not try to always sell something to them instead guide them on the right path,always offer them quality products and do not think about how much money you will make from them(Most net marketers do this) instead when you decide to promote any product/s to your perticular niche list(Yeah a successful internet marketer always has more than one list of subascribers),think how your subscribers will get benefited by the product/s.How the product/s can improve their life or financial situation(Depends on what product/s and whom you are promoting).Be honest to your subscribers.Do not worry about money,the money will follow automatically to the right personYour subscribers are not dumb and never treat them that way.You can get some result once or twice with cunning sales letter but if you have not provide them what you have claimed in the sales letter then I am sure your cunning way bounce back to you.Provide them help,help and more help to solve their problems and offer them only useful products.Your subscribers are smart enough to understand your real motive.Eveyone knows every marketer here is to make money but in my opinion it is more important that how you make money.When your subscribers understand your true motive(Takes some time so I told to build relation),will become your true follower and trust you and your products.

How Can You Decide A Safelist Is Responsive?

There are services like Traffic Hoopla where they continuously test safelists and publish the lists of top 5,others publish top 10 and also9 top 20.I am speaking about safelist ranking services but in my opinion it is not worth to consider these ranking services and ranks provided by them to perticular safelists including TrafficHoopal.Why because you are in different situation than these renaking services as well as you have got different product/s to promote than them.Everyone of us in different situation and with different produc/s so you should not go with such ranking services.

In my opinion the best way is to test each safelist with your own product/s.Remember I said above that with safelists you will not get much result through direct selling and it is absolute truth but you can always test your product/s with safelists and it is one of the best way.Remember if you are free member then safelist advertising is free for you and you have to invest your time only.So when you decide to promote a new product of your own or an affiliate product before investing any money in the paid advertising,you should try to sell it directly to the safelists' audiance.By tracking the result you can decide 2 things(Although you are not going to get any sale or perhaps 1-2 orders maximum)1. Which safelist's members are more responsive to your product/s and 2. How good your product/s is.

For tracking purpose you can use different tracking url for each safelist but have to use the same ad copy for each safelist and post at least for one month(Long way to go,right?) then you can do two things,1. Just check your hits to each url(simple ha!) and decide from which safelist you have got the maximum hits.2. At the end of the test collect hits from each url and devided the hits of each url by how many days you have posted that url in a safelist.This way you will get average hit numbers for each safelist and then by comparing them you can easily find out which safelist is more responsive.

Remember you can never test right thing which one or 2 posting.You have to do that contiously at least for one month.

One more thing to remember is that the poor ad copy will not provide desired result even from high responsive safelist and a good quality ad can even get result from low responsive safelist.

You have to go through all these steps for each safelist you want to test.

The safelist which has got highest average hits per day will be the most responsive safelist.

Remember a safelist with more number of members does not mean that the safelist willm be responsive or effective.

How to write a safelist e-mail?

The most important part in a safelist e-mail or message is headline or subject.Whey because most of members have membership in multiple safelsts so they receive lots of mails and going to read only selected once before deleting others.While deleting the other e-mails what they are goiing to notice?Subhject of the mail right?So one of the most important part of your message is your subject or headline.It must be eye catching and attention grabbing and provoke the reader to open the mail or your mail most probably is going to be deleted.

    You can use the different keyword characters to emphathise your subject line like %%%%,****,*,@@,###, "___" etc etc.Read below some of the example subject lines or head lines and tell me which one force you to open the e-mail by clicking the head line.

         CRAZIEST!

The Quickest Way To Make Money Online Is...

50,000 People CAN'T Be Wrong!

These are real headlines from my own e-mail account.

There are way to write highly responsive headlines.....

1. Be creative and with some trial and error you will be able to write high responsive headline.-Difficult way!
2. Use a headline creator software-easiest way!
3. Browse your own e-mail box and collect the headlines which provoke you to open the mail,modified one as per your need-Easier Way!

Choice is yours which way you want to choose.


    -If you are promoting product as an affiliate then do not use the headlines same to same as provided in promotional material as many will be doing the same.Instead just modified the headline and ad copy and it will stand out.

    -You must include the main benefit of your product in your headline.Use menimum words but your reader should know in advance what benefit he is going to get by opening your e-mail.

You can not include unlimited words in your safelist mail so there is a general limit of 2000 character but some also allow to post up to 5000 character in your message and in my opinion 2000 characters are fair enough.

    -Your message's should include one major benefit of your offer
    -Ask them to click if you want them to click
    -Write your e-mail short,sweet and to the point.
    -Always include your full name,e-mail addres and your ither sites url at the left bottom corner.Do not use your ISP's e-mail addres as you may get spam there as well as messages from prospective buyers.But people ask you about your product are best leads and you should look after them well
    -Use PPS or PS at the end with major benefit

How do you post your message in multiple sagfelists?

There are 2 ways to post or submit your message to multiple safelists.

1. Manually-tiresome and you can not post in enough as auto submission has reduced the effectiveness of the safelists.
2. Use safelist submitter services-better as you can reach large auidence with less work but not the best solution as some of your message will not be going to read by anyone because of large volume.
3. Find the safelists which are credit based and do not use auto submitter and manually post there-The best one

Does Safelist E-Mail Marketing Really Work

A safelist is a group of people who have agreed to send and receive email messages from one another. The fact that everyone agree to receive these emails makes it safe to send them. All safelists today are opt-in meaning people choose to receive your messages.

This means they can also opt-out and choose not to receive your messages at anytime The main benefit of opt-in safelists means you can get your message out to thousands of people everyday without being accused of spamming.

In the early days of email marketing safelists were abused which created a black eye for safelists as a form of marketing. Safelists have overcome the weakness of the earlier system. Today safelists are generally operated from a web site. If you wish to send your message to other members of the safelist you will have to go to the web site and post your message there. This ensures that someone personally sends the message. The frequency of sending message is regulated so that members do not overload other members.

As a members of the safelist you can be reasonably certain that your message will be delivered where intended. You do not have to worry about spam complaints. Your messages are delivered without "send to" address - the recipient of your message will not be able to send instant reply to you by hitting reply button.

You will get your messages from the safelist and not directly from other members. Since you are interested in getting your message delivered to other members you will ensure that your in-box is not full and you receive the messages sent to you. But how many of them you will read is another matter.

You may receive hundreds of messages every day. This will depend upon the number safelists you have joined, their policy and the number of members they have. It is unlikely that you will read or even open all the messages.

Safelist marketing is really a game of numbers. You may not be able to read all your messages, but you will possibly see some of them. Likewise you can expect other members to read just a few of the messages they receive. The more the number of recipients you have, the more you are likely to reach the persons interested in your offer.

Many people have reported substantial success with safelist marketing. If you seriously wish to benefit from this source, you have to be consistent. You can join several safelists and send messages every day in rotation to these safelists. It is important to keep up this schedule, send message to several hundred or thousand recipients a day, and let the number work out its magic.

There are free as well as paid safelist services. The paid services will give you some advantage over a free service, such as higher frequency of posting, composing your message in HTML etc. You can join safelists as a free member, analyse the results you are getting from each safelist and then decide to upgrade in the safelists which are giving better results.

The thing about safelists is they have been around for a long time and appear to actually be thriving. Why is that? Could it be that if done properly safelists actually work. If you decide to use safelists as a e-mail marketing method work it hard for awhile and make up your own mind if it is working for you. Be consistent for a period of time and watch your traffic numbers.

How to Use a Safelist to your Advantage

The following article is the result of years of ongoing interaction with enthusiasts just like you. The article was written to answer some of the most frequently asked questions, as well as address common issues that people have with this topic. I hope that you will find the information in this article helpful.

A safelist is a group of people who have agreed to receive messages from one another. It is an off-shoot of opt-in lists that were prevalent in the early days of the Internet. There were numerous opt-in groups in which members agreed to send to and receive emails from other members. Most of these emails were commercial in nature. As the Internet expanded the people started abusing this system. They started giving junk-mail addresses or non-existing addresses. Frequently an autoresponder address was given so that as soon as a message was received, another message was sent to the sender immediately. Abuse of opt-in lists rendered the system meaningless.

Safelists have overcome the weakness of the earlier system. The purpose of using safelists basically remains the same - members agree to receive information from other members. But this is done more effectively.

The safelists are generally operated from a web site. If you wish to send your message to other members of the safelist you will have to go to the web site and post your message there. This ensures that someone personally sends the message. The frequency of sending message is regulated so that members do not overload other members.

The safelist management takes proper care to maintain their list of email addresses. Whenever there are incidents like bouncing emails, full in-boxes or spam filters by which emails are not delivered, such email addresses are properly dealt with. All members are registered by double opt-in method. The safelists take particular care to maintain valid email addresses.

As a member of the safelist you can be reasonably certain that your message will be delivered where intended. You do not have to worry about spam complaints. Your messages are delivered without "send to" address - the recipient of your message will not be able to send instant reply to you by hitting reply button.

Therefore you will be in a hurry to delete those messages and keep room for the next lot. Over a period of time you may not even feel the moral obligation to read the messages sent to you. Just remember that other members will also be passing through this phase.

Safelist marketing is really a game of numbers. You may not be able to read all your messages, but you will possibly see some of them. Likewise you can expect other members to read just a few of the messages they receive. Your message is sent to untargeted recipients - you are not aware of their profiles and their interests. Some of your recipients may be interested in what you have to offer and some of them may be tempted by your subject line to open your letter. The more the number of recipients you have, the more you are likely to reach the persons interested in your offer. The headline or subject line of your message plays a crucial role in drawing the right persons.

Safelists are not considered among the top marketing methods such as PPC, article marketing, solo ads, ezine ads etc. Yet they are thriving. Clearly people are getting benefits out of them. You will know how effective safelists will be for you only when you try them. You can try free for a few weeks and see the results. Then you can make a decision about continuing with it.

When you decide to use safelists, you should resolve to give them a fair trial. Only then you will be able to make a good judgment about them. Just remember the punch line when using safelists - be consistent.

New Safelists Cause Traffic Surge

Until recently safelists were one of those less effective marketing tools that few knowledgeable marketers ever took seriously. If they belonged to them at all, they set up separate email accounts, and made it a habit to simply delete all the emails without so much as a glance.

That was before.

Earlier this year, a radical change came over the safelist marketing world, one that has turned this sleeping giant into a force to be recognized, if not reckoned with. Why?

Because of three little words: credit based mailings.

Since this small addition to traditional safelist marketing, marketers discovering it have been turning to safelist marketing like never before. That's because credit based mailings -- similar to traffic exchanges -- effectively do two things: ensure that each email is not only not opened, but read; and that each mailing will result in enormous hits to the senders' site.

Since they first began, dozens of these safelists have popped up, with a few, such as Traffic Pro List, AdTactics, and AdSolutionline, leading the pack by offering generous click-per-credit ratios or even committing fully to the credit-based mailing and offering ALL credit based mailings.

It is a testament to the impact of this change that established traditional safelists are scrambling to adapt their existing sites to now include a credit-based feature. The only noteable exception being Herculist. But even behemoth will be forced to adapt, as they see their membership begin to migrate to this more effective form of safelist marketing.

For those unfamiliar with safelist marketing, the basic premise came about some years ago, when spam first became an issue. Safelists, in response to this, developed a simple program that enabled members to safely exchange emails with other members. But, the glaring deficit with the system was that few of the members that sent emails ever bothered to read those they received. Why bother? In fact, most safelists even recommended that each member have a dedicated email address, and went so far as to disallow certain email servers because of their bounce/filtering systems.

But even that may change with the new safelists. That remains to be seen.

Whatever the case, the problem was that few, if any, members ever actually read the emails, making safelist marketing very in-effectual. Most marketers simply made sure their inboxes were emptied out on a regular basis, without even reading the messages.

But all that has changed now.

With credit based mailings offering real time traffic to the participants, safelist marketing is morphing into one of the few truly effective ways to market.

In fact, while some of these new credit-based safelists have kept one foot in the traditional camp by keeping the regular mailer feature, a few clever entrepreneurs have realized that credit-based mailings are going to replace the traditional form altogether and have done away with standard mailers completely.

The leader of the pack in this move is Traffic Pro List, which started up about a month ago and is already enjoying a fast growing membership base, any safelists most valuable asset. Traffic Pro List is followed closely in the All credit based arena by Tutorial4Newbies, SafelistWorld and SynchronizeURAds, although the last has severely restricted parameters for free accounts, failing to understand the value of these members.

In fact, there seems to be some confusion about what to do with credits for some safelist owners. One or two offer credit based mailings only on a "for sale" basis, while others give away credits hand-over-fist, so to speak.

Other key attributes to these type of programs are good basic monthly credits, credit bonuses from referrals (which can also be used to populate an internal rotational text and banner ad system), time allowed between mailings and the amount of time one must visit a site in order to earn credits and, lastly commissions on referrals, some of which are considerable and could even produce a side-income worth noticing.

But only Traffic Pro list offers the most generous features in all these areas and even offers tips on how to optimize the whole safelist experience for newer marketers.

Credit-based mailings will change the way marketers think of safelists. Which is a good thing, considering the state of email service on the internet today.--mo

How To Use Safelists Effectively

Safelist marketing is a great way to get free targeted traffic to any website you own, but if you do not know how to use safelists the right way you will just find yourself spinning your wheels time after time. Believe it or not there is a correct way and a wrong way to go about using safelists.

Today I would like to share with you the correct way to utilize safelist marketing so it can become more profitable and useful for your business.

Now before you join any safelist the first thing you must do is create two junk email accounts, and to do this I recommend you use Gmail which a free email service provided by Google.

Why do you need two junk emails? When you join a bunch of safelists you will start getting a ton of emails, and we all know that you do not want your main email address filling up with a lot of emails now do you? I didnt think so.

Once you completed the sign up process for your two junk emails the next thing to do is join some safelists. Here again you do not just want to join any safelist as not every one of them offers good quality. The quickest and fastest way to find good quality safelists to join is to do a simple search in Google using keywords like free safelists, or credit based safelist.

Which ever safelist you decide to join make sure it is a credit based safelist. With a credit based safelist it ensures members click on the links in the email messages. For each link they click on they earn credits to use to send their own email out.

The next part is sending out your email message. The most important thing about your email will be your headline. You need to write a creative headline that will draw peoples attention, and make them click on it.

To get a good idea of headlines to use simply look at your own email and see what headlines others are using. Then determine which headlines stuck out to you and made you click on them.

Now there is a certain time of day you should send your email out. Some prefer morning others at night, but I like to send my email messages out around lunch time. This way you catch people when they are more likely in front of a computer and probably checking their email.

Apply the above steps and strategies and you can turn any safelist you join into a lead generating machine over night.

Join Huge Safelists

Of the forms of internet marketing being used, safelists garner the least amount of interest. Mainly because of the uncertainty of email marketing as a whole. When you break it down , its actually a good way to get your product out there in front of people. Now its basically going to be considered spam by some of the people that recieve emails. But thats not usually the case.

Join The Biggest Safelist On The Internet

Heres why. All the good safelists are created so that the sites are ran prefectly legal. The members of the safelists joined the safelist for one reason or another. What makes the safelists approach work well is the fact that the list members actually aknowledge that they are interested in certain topics or categories. This usually happens when they are signing up for Free products or trying to answer survey questions. So basically , you are sending email to a group of people that have shown some interest in your product or niche.

Although its always a good idea to start out on a smaller scale when trying new advertising or marketing, I have always found that joining huge safelists are the best route. Due to the fact that you save more money sending to bigger lists, and the lists are customized for big email 'blasts', if you will. So join huge safelists as soon as you feel like you are ready. that is, if you are going to do it. Its just way more cost effective and that is the best way to get a reading on how responsive the member will be to your emails or products. If you try with smaller safelists, it will take you too long to figure out the effectiveness of your product or emails.

In closing , I think its important to be careful of which safelists you join if you are considering one. For the money, its really not that expensive. I have had some real success with huge safelists. But I had to try out a few before I found a few that worked. And sometimes they are better than you could expect.

Overall, I have to say that if you are building a list of your own, safelist mailings are perfect for creating a list of your own subscribers. The best tactic to use is to send out emails that offer members free informational products taht relate to your category. Its always a good idea to get off on the right foot with a list. When they see your emails they will want to open them up. And with the number of subscribers on the bigger safelists, you will harvest many email addresses. And thats the best way to use email marketing. So consider using huge safelists for list building. Life is much better when you mail to your own list. Its the only way to build an actual relationship with customers. Thats why they say "The money is in the list".

Safelists - Do They Work ?

Personally, I think NOT. But first, I would like to let those that are not familiar with safelists learn a little about what they are.

Now, what is a Safelist?

Safelists came into existence when Email "spam" became a big issue.
Simply stated, Safelists are in fact nothing more than a group of individuals, who agree to receive and send email messages to each other.
The fact that they agree to receive email make these lists "safe", hence the name Safelist...
A Safelist can be used to advertise web sites, E-books, business opportunities, affiliate programs and so forth.

Safelists promote the hype that each member will get hundreds of targeted leads and earn thousands by submitting to their safelist. They continue the hype by promoting to the unwary that their ads will be seen and their sites visited. Certain types of sites like this can only marginally come close to making any sort of guarantee of visitors. Most of these types of safelists operate a credit based system that awards viewers credits when they visit other member sites. Once they reach a certain credit threshold they, in turn, can send out their own message.

The other version of this site does not offer credits, but only says that you won’t be accused of spamming by other members in the safelist. In both cases, the member must have a valid e-mail account to stay a member.

The two main problems arising from this type of system come from the sheer volume of e-mails coming to the member’s e-mail box. Many e-mail box services will simply start filtering them out, thus eliminating any possibility of them being viewed. The second comes from the fact that no one has time to read each email that comes into their box. Many e-mails will simply be mass deleted. Even credit based safelists have suffered from these problems.

How many people actually take the time to read your e-mails and view your site with any real intention of buying? It is important to remember that members of these safelists are trying to sell you their product. They are not interested in buying from you, and likewise you are trying to sell your product and are not interested in what they are offering. So, you have sellers selling to sellers for the most part and it just won't work. Even credit based systems cannot guarantee sales. So, with all of this in mind, is it safe to assume you won’t make any money from them? If you do make any money here it is from newbie marketers who have been told to use safelists and Traffic exchanges(I will give my take on TE'S another time)and it won’t be as much as other proven methods of promotions.

In reality, the only "responsive safelist" an Internet Marketer can have is the one he or she generates thru legitimate means. For example starting a newsletter or through the use of lead generating squeeze pages.

Do Safelists Work?

What is a safelist?

A safelist is a website that provides a way for people who join to send out ads and information to each other. Many of the ads found on safelists concern ways to make money online. Safelists were created mainly in response to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which placed serious restrictions on spamming and which allows for prosecution of those individuals and companies who transgress these restrictions. Safelists are "safe" because they provide a place for people to advertise without being accused of spamming, which can get you into all sorts of trouble if enough people complain. No one who is really trying to create a business online wants to be accused of spamming.

Safelists come in all sizes, as they can be owned or started by anyone who wants one, Some of them have thousands of members, while others have just a few. There are also services called "safelist submitters," which allow you to join and send to hundreds or thousands of safelists at once. If you are submitting to thousands of safelists, you are sending your emails to hundreds of thousands or millions of people, which sounds very exciting. Safelists have been considered for several years now to be the best place for new marketers or "newbies" to start their business. But, do they really work? For the most part, safelist marketing has become obsolete and outdated. It used to work much better, but since everyone's doing it, it doesn't work very well anymore, especially because many people now use huge mailboxes that can automatically delete all messages. In that way, people don't have to go through their mailboxes and actually look at any of the mail, which means they aren't really reading any of the messages.

What does work?

With a very catchy or striking subject line, you can still get a few people here and there to open your email, provided you send out enough of them to the safelists and at the right time of the week and day. The correct time and date are usually considered to be "secrets," but they are common sense. Weekends are usually not a good time, as people are interested not in work but in play at that time. Many people work in offices and don't want to read emails after they get home, if they even have a home computer, so there are many people reading (and deleting) their messages during lunch hour. Now, "lunch hour" varies around the world, as does the "weekend," so you will have to account for when that will occur most appropriately for your business enterprise. If you join a safelist submitter that mails to at least 1 million people, if you have a catchy subject line and a compelling body copy, and if you send out these messages – rotating your ads – at the appropriate times of day and week, you may see a satisfying amount of traffic going to your website. In this sense, it can be said that safelists do work, but that "iffy" success is only one part of the net-marketing battle!

How to Use a Safelist for Long-term Success

To become effective in learning how to use a safelist, first you must inform yourself of what a safelist is about. Basically, it is a list of opt-in subscribers who have permitted you to send them information regarding your products or services. This is unlike a spam, which forwards unsolicited emails to various email addresses.

Get Positive Responses Through Safelist Advertising

Several internet marketers dismiss safelist advertising as a waste of time. To a certain extent, it is true. However, there are tips to help email marketing work to your advantage. Here are a few ones you can use:

1.Do not sell upfront. - With a safelist, you seldom expect purchases on the spot. Instead, you can provide free information that will rouse your prospects' curiosity and encourage them to visit your site or see what new products or services you have available. It is also your key to finding long term customers.

2.Use a catchy or attention-grabbing email subject. - Unless you have a subject that will rouse their interest, most people will not bother opening their emails. This is related to what most gurus say about safelist being a waste of time. Therefore, be creative and make them an irresistible offer.

3.Highlight the benefits to the customer. - Focus on how your product or service can help improve your customers' lives. Appeal to their emotions, but make sure that it sounds genuine.

4.Avoid excessive links. - A link to your website or your affiliates' site should be enough.

Maximize Your List

Online marketers often wonder how they fail to get positive results despite of tremendous efforts on building a safelist. What they fail to realize is that gathering a list is not enough, there are several factors to consider.

Poor safelist performance result from untargeted lists. Even if your subscribers receive emails from your company, if it is not of the recipient's interest to avail of your product or service then you cannot expect to generate sales. Therefore, when gathering email addresses, you have to make sure that the people on your list are possible customers.

Another important factor to achieve better result is the frequency of sending emails. As much as possible, refrain from sending daily emails because it might annoy the person and force them to unsubscribe. Meanwhile, monthly emails prevent you from updating your subscribers whenever you have any new product, service, or promos available. You can opt to send emails on a bi-weekly cycle.

The same goes with the volume of emails you send. Do not flood your subscriber's inbox with tons of emails that they will not read anyway. Instead, send them substantial emails that include all the information they might find useful and provide the necessary links. Also, refrain from sending the same email content more than once.

Benefits of a Safelist

Creating a safelist is a cost-efficient way of promoting your products, as well as that of your affiliates'. As long as you take note of the tips above, you will be able to maximize the list of emails you have gathered and spread the word about your business.

The best thing about email marketing is that you constantly update your subscribers about any new products that they might avail of, instead of one-time advertisement. Hence, even if they do not avail of your products or services now, they might in the future. Indeed, a safelist is an effective tool to bring in long-term customers.

Once you've learned how to use a safelist effectively, you can bring in more traffic that can be converted to sales but without the expensive advertisement costs.

What is the #1 Thing to Do for Marketing With Safelists

I know you read the title because you are reading this. That is part of what makes safelists work. You have to get read. But that is not the most important thing. Do you want to know what is the most important thing you must do when using safelists to promote your business. Read on.

Many people start with safelists because of the cost. Can you say FREE! It does take time to read emails and put your campaign together. If you have time safelists may be for you.

Safelists work like this. You agree to receive emails from other members. Then you decide which emails to read. You also decide when to email other members.

You have to ask yourself as a safelist member do you read the emails you are receiving? If not then why would someone want to read yours. This is the biggest problem with being a safelist member. If you will not read other member's emails why would they read yours?

So here is what happened. Much like traffic exchanges a credit system was developed to help get the emails read. It works like this. You get to send emails to as many members as you have credits. When you join a safelist you earn credits. If you upgrade you get even more credits. The more credits you have, the more emails you send, the more potential you have of having your email read by other safelist members.

The nice thing about this system is that people use up their credits and can not email anymore. This helps to cut down on the number of emails everyone receives.

To build up credits you can either buy them or you can earn them reading the emails you receive. Again like a traffic exchange where you earn credits to view ads, with this you earn credits to view emails.

The incentive is that you may earn enough credits to email 1000 members just from reading 20 emails. The percentage you earn is favorable enough to make you want to read them.

So this is the number one thing to do for safelists marketing to work for you. Join credit based safelists. Even if your title is bad you will still get some of your emails opened because everyone wants to earn credits. If you do it this way you will get a lot of free advertising and can even make money doing it.

The E-mail Safelist Scam

Emailing to a list is considered the best way to get fast results in any marketing campaign. Unfortunately for the Internet Marketer
, this can also lead to lawsuits if one is not careful. To most, the obvious solution is to join a marketing safelist and promote to it.

Safelists promote the hype that each member will earn thousands by submitting to their safelist. They continue the hype by promoting to the unwary that their ads will be seen and their sites visited. Certain types of sites like this can only marginally come close to making any sort of guarantee of visitors. These types of safelist operate a credit based system that awards viewers credits when they visit other member sites. Once they reach a certain credit threshold they, in turn, can send out their own message.

The other version of this site does not offer credits, but only says that you won't be accused of spamming by other members in the safelist. In both cases, the member must have a valid e-mail account to stay a member.

The two main problems arising from this type of scam come from the sheer volume of e-mails coming to the member's e-mail box. Many e-mail box services will simply start filtering them out, thus eliminating any possibility of them being viewed. The second comes from the fact that noone has time to read each email that comes into their box. Many e-mails will simply be mass deleted. Even credit based safelists have suffered from these problems.

How many people actually take the time to read your e-mails and view your site with any real intention of buying? It is important to remember that members of these safelists are trying to sell you their product. THey are not interested in buying from you. Even credit based based systems cannot gurantee sales. So, with all of this in mind, is it safe to assume you won't make any money from them? If you do make any money here, it won't be as much as other proven methods of promotions.

Ironically these types of scams will continue to grow and multiply. Why? They promote their hype and people believe it and join them. They then refer still others who also believe the hype. They may even make some money on commissions that may, or may not, be offered. The only real winners are the list owners themselves who can offer their members additional credits to their members or upgraded memberships.

In reality, the only responsive safelist an Internet Marketer can have is the one he or she generates thru legitmate means. For example starting a newsletter or through the use of lead generating squeeze pages. Even here it is alsways important to give your audience something of real value which can come in the form of a free gift or lessons on some subject. It is always wise to allow for members to opt out when they choose to and conform to the Can-Spam laws.

Safelist Marketing - 4 Ideas for Success

Because there are so many different ways to market an Internet business
safelist marketing can be overlooked. This could be a mistake because there are many successful Internet marketers using safe list marketing successfully.

In this article let's take a look at four ideas for using safelist marketing successfully.

1. Getting your email opened is always going to be the key to any type of marketing involving it. Successfully marketing using safe lists will mean you need to get your e-mails open.

The best way to do this is to join a credit based marketing program. These work on the premise that you earn credits for sending e mails by reading the emails of the other members. The more credits you have the more emails you will be able to send.

You can do the math, but obviously the more e-mails you are sending the more chances you have that they will be read and someone will see something that appeals to them about your products.

2. The way to develop more credits is to not manually sit and read e-mails all day long, but rather to upgrade to a pro member status and earn credits by purchasing them. This works similar to traffic exchanges in that buying credits is a much faster way to get your emails read then it is to earn the credits by manually reading them one at a time.

3. If you are not able to purchase credits then it is important that you earn them by opening emails and reading them from other members. The nice thing about this is that you can invest your time rather than your money to earn credits which can potentially create more e-mails being read of your own.

4. The final thing we want to mention is that the emails that you are sending are extremely important. They need to contain a subject line that catches the attention of the reader, the body needs to contain useful information, and at the end it meets to offer a solution for more information.

If you're not sure how to write e-mails that get results, just pay attention to the ones you are reading from other members. Try a model yourself after the ones that catch your attention.

You can also get good ideas from the various products and programs that you represent. Many of them offer prewritten emails that you can customize to fit your own needs.

This is four ideas for successfully using safe list marketing. Like every other form of marketing on the Internet, you have to work at it to make it successful, and you have to develop the skills and that it takes to be successful as well.

Some rules that safe lists have are:

1. No Adult or illegal activity posts

Why Affiliate Programs, Safelists, Hit Exchanges, and Most Online Programs Don't Seem to Work!

How Does Free Safelist Advertising Work

Let\'s start off with what a safelist is. A safelist is a membership site where members can email their opportunities and offers to the members of the safelist. Everyone must opt in by verifiying their list address and contact address. This is called double optin and it is very important because it protects the safelist owner from spam complaints, hence the name \"safe\" list. Everyone knows when they signup to a safelist that they will be receiving a lot of email from the other members. Members must provide a list address where they will receive email from other members, and a contact email address, where they will receive admin emails and paid solo ads from other members. It is best to get 2 brand new email accounts from GMail and use them strictly for safelist use.

In each email sent out by the safelist there is a credit link. Members must click on the credit link to receive credits. Usually they must view the advertised site for 10 seconds to get their credits. When members earn enough credits they can then use those credits to send their own email to the list. The whole system works by members viewing each others emails and building up credits. That\'s why they are commondly referred to as credit safelists or credit based safelists. Free safelist advertising is very popular with internet marketers because most safelists have a free safelist membership option which allows you to advertise your opportunity or service for free. All you do is earn enough safelist credits and you can send out your ad in the credit mailer. If you don\'t have time to earn credits you can purchase safelist credits or upgrade your membership.

Of course there are paid membership options available for those who want to send their ad to the safelist more often, and for those who want to earn more credits for clicking on credit links. Paid safelist membership options also give members a certain amount of free credits every month. Safelist advertising can be very effective those promoting business opportunites or services and are used often in the booming work from home industry

How To Choose The Best Email Safelist Providers

Safelists are lists which contain email addresses of individuals who have agreed to receive your advertisement. Safelists are "safe" because they provide a place for people to advertise without fear of being accused of spamming.

Spamming or sending unsolicited email can get you into all sorts of trouble with your Internet Service Provider if enough people complain.

Safelists have also been defined as being like a club where the members are typically webmasters and Internet marketers. They are people who have websites that they want others to visit, products they want to sell, or affiliate programs they are promoting.

Safelists are not considered to be among the top marketing methods in use such as Pay Per Click, article marketing, solo ads, ezines and so on. They are good to use as a list building tool because they are populated with internet marketers, however they are far from perfect and many Internet Marketers feel they are useless.

They are loved by some, hated by others and almost unheard of outside of the online marketing community.As with most other Internet Marketing strategies safelist marketing can be productive if it is done correctly.

There are basically two types of safelists. First there is the regular, everyday, run of the mill type where you can send to other members and they can email their offers to you. Whether you choose to look at the email is entirely up to you.

However if you want the other members to open your email advertisements it might be a good idea to scan through your inbox and open the ones that interest you.While a regular safelist allows you to post during a certain time frame, such as every 2 or 3 days, they also offer other types of advertising.

You can usually purchase banner impressions or text ad spots to be shown in the member's area. You can also purchase contact solo ads which are sent out to the contact email address of the entire member list which can be very effective.

The second type, and more effective of the two, is the credit based safelist program. These programs require members to accumulate and spend credits, or points, in order to send their ads to the list. The primary method of earning credits is reading the emails sent to your list address by other members and clicking on special credit links contained in these messages.

For this reason, the ads you send to credit-based lists are more likely to be opened. Some lists offer the same amount of credits in every email you read, some offer a random amount of credits, and some only offer credits in random emails. Most programs offer the occasional bonus credits which can get you anywhere from tens to thousands of credits at a time.

Most of these lists, if not all of them, allow you to purchase credits, too. This can happen in the form of an upgrade or a straight out purchase. These credits are primarily used to send your ads to the safelist, but some lists allow you to trade your credits for banner impressions and text ads.

There are a few variations of credit-based safelists. In addition to the standard model mentioned above, there are sites that require you to log in to view ads rather than having them mailed to you, and sites that require you to wait for a timer to count down before you earn credits.

These days there are a lot of safelist hosting companies that make it easy for anyone to start a safelist program very cheaply. This usually results in communities on the Web with dozens, even hundreds of cookie-cutter safelists that look nearly identical; they usually have no graphics and some meaningless text and only a couple of hundred members.

These should be avoided because they are only a waste of time. If you decide to include safelist marketing as a tactic in your internet marketing strategy be careful which list providers you choose and this will help make your safelist strategy a success.

Safelist Dos & Don'ts Or Go Ahead and Have Your Email Box Flooded With Spam

The advantages of safelists are numerous, but most people wouldn't agree because of the high number of spam sent to their email box.

Do Not Use Your Primary Email Box In Safelists. Here's a thought. How about going ahead and making 2 email accounts for safelists? Inconvenience is not a huge enough factor to throw this type of free advertising out the window. You make one email box for your 'contact' email and the other for your 'list' email. Gmail accounts are recommended for this process. The list email is the spam/junk email that you create credits with. The contact email is where you receive messages from the site's admin.

After confirming your accounts with these safelists you will receive not 1, not 2, but 100+ emails into your list email account. I've always wanted to ring spammer's necks. The thing about these is that you can not consider this as spam because you agreed to have your email boxes spamed with advertisements when you opted in. You are allowed to send your advertisements back to 1,000+ people. If you're afraid that your emails will not be seen, do not fret. In order to gain more credits you have to open emails in your list email account. So, others have to open emails to gain more credits also. What are the odds that out of thousands of people someone will open your email and read it? I say that those odds are good. Here it is in short terms: 1 email read = 1 credit, 1 credit = 1 email that you can send out. If you open 200 emails than you can send 200 emails. That's how it works. Do not worry about opening alot of emails when you start with a safelist; Some safelists start you off with credits.

"But people probably are advertising the same thing as I am!", Read the article, 'If You Are Advertising Your Main Business Opportunity Than You Are In For A Rough Ride' and you will understand that some people are not willing to advertise their knowledge, but they are willing to advertise a business opportunity opposed to helping people that have no idea on how to operate a home based business. People need help instead of an opportunity that they will more than likely lose money and fail with because of their lack of training.

FireFox is great for safelists and traffic exchanges. FireFox is simple and you can have many browsers opened at once without much lag. Make accounts with 10 safelists a day. 10 safelists for Monday, 10 for Tuesday and so on. Make new folders for each day and place your safelist links in those folders so that you will have them in order and not messy. Open your folder and start your safelist work.

I was thinking wether to suggest this tip or not because most people will not open the list emails to read them after learning this tip. Run FireFox to open your emails. Open your first safelist email and then open the second email in a new FireFox browser and so on. After you get to the last of your 10 safelist emails in your list email box than start back over with a new email. This way you can create more credits in a shorter period of time. After generating the number of credits you want, send emails out. This will take some time to get used to, but it is free advertising.

I hope that this has helped in one way or another. "Give Without Want."-Mike Dillard

Using Safelists to Advertise Online

I cannot stress enough how much Safelists CAN and DO build a business! Let's understand what a safelist is anyway....

A safelist is a list fully compliant with the Can-Spam act and is basically home business owners, affiliate marketers and individuals selling something or offering something with their business and they've opted in to an "email advertising marketing list. They've joined as a member to this "list" or "safelist" and have the ability to mail out their html ad or plain text ad once per week for FREE to all the members (other home business owners) who have joined. IF they upgrade, depending on which plan they choose, they then have the ability to send their email blast out more often (once every three days, every other day or every 24 hours). Again, this depends on which membership they choose.

Some safelists are better than others because they "require" the members to read a certain amount of incoming emails BEFORE they are allowed to send out their ad. This ensures that everybody's ad is being read. There are also some safelists that are actual programs that get downloaded on your computer. Everytime an email ad goes out, a notice will come up on the members desktop notifying them of the new emails they need to open. This REALLY ensures that your ad will be read. I have listed some that I use and HIGHLY recommend.

Once you sign up for FREE or paid membership you automatically become an "affiliate" for them and you have a chance to make additional money by referring your link to your downline or others. They sign up and you get a % of their membership EVERY month!

Safelists can be a GREAT tool if used properly. One NEEDS to have a catchy subject line so that the chances of their email will be read. This is super important. You need to get creative.

I love safelists and use them each day. I made folders for each day of the week M-F and I joined 5-10 safelists for each day. I wake up and open up my folder for that day and post my ad to that safelist! I got my first affiliate signed up ONE day after using a safelist. I feel it's a MUST to use them AND I do know that MANY high income earners use them...in fact my enroller and his wife make over 15,000 per MONTH and they use them and THEIR enroller and HIS wife make over 15,000 and they use them too. So, now you know why I USE THEM :0)

Here are two highly suggested Safelists that I use often.

1) I HIGHLY suggest using this one AND paying the $17.95/mo. I find this to be very effective because the members get notified on their desktop that they have email...so your ad gets read!
http://www.desktoplightning.com/freedom2bhome

2) I HIGHLY recommend this one as well.. IF you sign up for this one you can have the FREE membership which is great BUT if you pay for the bronze membership for only 6.95/mo you get 25,000 FREE leads per month!!!

Can Safelist Marketing Still Convert?

Safelist marketing spiked in popularity at the turn of decade. Since then, many marketers have argued that the lists have become so diluted and overwhelming that they no longer convert.

The truth is, safelist marketing can still convert as long as your emails can stand out.

Here are some quick tips to increase your safelist conversion rates.

1.A Unique Subject Line

The subject line is the most critical aspect of dominating a safelist. Everyone on the list may be receiving hundreds or thousands of emails every day, and will definitely not read them all. In many cases, they will open less than 1% of them.

Creating a subject line that is successful is a two part process. First, it needs to stand out at a glance. Many people will glance at *** or ((( at the beginning and the end of their subject line, but this has become common practice and is no longer as effective as it used to be.

However if you couple this strategy with some additional white space, your subject line can stand out. By adding 5-10 spaces to the beginning of your subject line, it will look indented compared to the other subject lines, and is more likely to standout.

Once someone notices your subject line, it is important to make sure that your subject line gives people a reason to open it. A quality headline can ask a question or tell a quick story.

2.Shorter is Better

Once someone finally chooses to open your email over the hundreds of others that they have received, it is important that you get to the point quickly. Keep your emails as short as possible and add a call to action early in the email. People don't want to read a novel, they want you to get to the point.

The best way to create short effective emails is to utilize safelist marketing as a strategy to build your personal list. To get someone to join your list, you need very short emails that include a free offer and easy way to join.

Once they are on your personal list, you will be able to send longer emails because they are viewed as personal emails instead of one of the hundreds of safelist emails that they receive every day.

3.Don't Be Afraid to Safelist Jump

Many people who have problems with their safelist marketing conversion rates will never change safelists. They believe that the tactic simply doesn't work instead of questioning whether or not the list itself might be the problem.

While large lists are great, some people have gotten much better results from smaller lists. This is because smaller lists carry less competition. If your first list doesn't convert, try a few more before you give up on this strategy completely.

Safelist marketing is still an effective option. However, it is important to understand that your tactics may need to change a little to become effective. If you use these 3 safelist marketing tips with consistency you should be able to increase your conversions.

Are Safelists Still Effective?

As a network marketer, your whole business is basically whittled down to one thing. That one thing is to get as many people as possible to the site you are promoting through your business link.

In other words, marketing.

You have no need to worry about writing ad copy, creating a new product, finding a niche or any of the other mundane tasks that go into product creation because they have already been done for you.

On the surface this seems like a no brainer. Easy money!

The problems arise when you stop to consider how many other networkers are out there with the same goal in mind, promoting the exact same product as you are with the exact same promotional material.

If you have been into internet marketing for any time at all you most likely have looked into many of the free advertising avenues available today. Safelists and traffic exchanges are probably the most prevalent of these.

Safelists are good to use as a list building tool because they are populated with internet marketers. This is a wortwhile target audience. The new lists that are credit based are best because they require anyone wishing to use the list to advertise, to actually view the site to get enough credits to mail their own ads.

Now think about this for one minute. How many times have you clicked on a link from a safelist and been taken to the exact page that you have seen ten times already that day?

Come on people! Do you really believe that if someone out there sees the same site over and over again that they will eventually break down and buy, join, opt-in or whatever else your cookie cutter affiliate page is trying to accomplish?

No!

If you see one of those pages after the first time simply go back to checking your email and wait for the timer to reach zero so you can just close the browser.

On the other hand if you see a good page, with compelling copy, that is giving away a free report you may be much more likely to read what the site has to say and give them your name and email address to get the report.

Most of these marketers also will have their autoresponder set up to lead to a one time offer after capturing their prospects information. This is an awesome money making tactic.

As soon as marketer have your name and email address they can send you more offers for the same product or other related products. Most likely they will have a few messages already in the queue to go out at intervals of two to three days.

This is how to use a safelist effectively as your own list building tool. The people who opt-in to your list will be interested in your offer. They have set themselves apart from the crowd.

The money is in the list. Use safelists wisely and they can still be effective network marketing tools.

The Safelist Plus The Safelist Submitter

If you're involved in internet marketing and advertising, probabilities are excellent that you're applying or have at some specific point applied safelists to push your company.

Here's just a brief description of how safelists job in case you haven't heard of them. And then we'll move on on the safelist submitter. First of all, it is possible to join no cost. When you do so, you'll need two gmail addresses.

Most safelists will only accept gmail addresses due to the bulk amounts of e-mail you will be acquiring within your inboxes. Whatever you do, do not use your primary email address whenever you sign up.

You'll see why as I explain additional. Many safelists enable you to definitely join up to no cost and offer you credit appropriate from your get-go. These credit equal out towards the amount on the safelist's people that one could send a promotional e-mail to. You may send out this e-mail having a link to what ever web-site you need to promote and people will click that web-site to acquire credit. The hope is that as they're clicking in your internet site, they will be interested by what you ought to give. to gain additional credit, you also will must open all the emails sent out to you from your safelist and click on the member's websites. You can continue to make credit by clicking or you may upgrade your account which provides you credits even when you don't click on. So, that is the crux of how a safelist functions. There are hundreds of safelists on the web and the greater that you can promote to, the more leads/sales you may produce. Here's in which the safelist submitter also comes in. This kind of software allows you to peak your ad to several with the safelists all at once. It appears that submitters do pop up and vanish very often and their legitimacy is queried frequently within the net.

However , this you has passed the check of time and does keep on to obtain favorable opinions from real persons.

It's referred to as The Safelist Boys.

The Safelist Boys are two internet marketers that have carried out quite nicely for themselves while in the Safelist marketing business. They run a pair safelists and couple of other safelist associated web sites. Their angle was to test differentiating themselves by generating their safelist poster which they call Safelist Boys AutoMailer a lot more complicated and a lot more user friendly than the other safelist submitters.

This is among the cheaper submitters at only $4.99 each month. But there's extra to it than just the quantity of mails sent by a submitter. You must also ensure that you increase the number of emails basically delivered. A lot of emails will end up in Junk-Mail folders and will never be examine. If you check your e-mail for words and phrases that would trigger the SPAM filters, you are able to significantly boost the quantity of emails which are observed and examine by people. If you have not tried safelists yet within your promotional efforts, commence with these after which consider a safelist submitter later on in the game.

Solo Ezine Marketing Versus Safelist Single Adverts

Single ezine marketing refers to ads which can be despatched alone (with no other ads or content) to an on-line magazine's (ezine's) subscriber base. There are truly two sorts of single advertisings: these which can be sent for the ezine subscriber base as described before or these which might be despatched out to safelist people. Safelists are comprised of persons who sign up that allows you to market their own products/services and, in turn, agree to study other ads which have been despatched by other members. With safelists, you consent to receive all of these promotional advertisements inside your inbox and, whenever you click these advertisements, you make credits being able to give your personal advertisements.

An advantage to marketing in ezines is that you simply are going to be sending out your ad to persons who've subscribed towards ezine to be able to get data, sources and updates on that specific subject. In case your solution is quite well suited to a particular ezine niche, you are able to get tremendous results. With safelists, it's several.

Individuals don't subscribe so as to understand about a distinct subject. They subscribe in buy to be capable to publicize. A wholly various mindset. The common ezine readers subscribes to additional than one ezine. Nonetheless, they aren't bombarded with numerous emails every time due to the fact of the subscription. If someone is subscribed to several safelists, they may get numerous emails per time in their inbox. Once again, the only incentive to examine these emails would be to achieve credits. They aren't searching for details or news. So, here again, single ezine advertising is probably preferable to solo safelist promotion. Ezine solo adverts can vary greatly in cost from 1 publisher for the following. Of course, the cost is dependent upon the size of the ezine's subscriber base, the perceived top quality of content, the frequency and perhaps days and instances the newsletter is despatched out, and so on.

In any case, single advertisements usually are not free of charge. With some safelists, members can basically deliver out "free" single advertisings. This is really a small bit tricky simply because they aren't basically cost-free. You nevertheless have to earn clicks in buy being capable to give out these ads. So, whether you pay out in time or in cash (because you've upgraded to purchase your clicks), you're having to pay. Inside the finish, some marketers swear by safelist solo promotion. It usually includes a whole lot to try and do with the products you offer. If you're providing a solution that may produce visitors or an e-book which will aid with safelists, for instance, safelist members shall be more apt to click on that due to the fact those are the factors that they're utilizing safelists inside initial location. On the other hand, in case your item is in the different industry (health, beauty, etc), you'll usually be much better off by doing solo ezine marketing as an alternative. This also operates the other way close to. Promotion your well being or elegance supplement in the safelist will most most likely not get very much response.

Send your e-mail ad to thousands for free

SAFELISTS
=========================

You should always try to build a list of subscribers in the long run. But until you have your list, you can use programs called safelists. Safelist is a program where you can join and send your e-mail ad to other members of that program. Each member must agree to receive e-mail promotions from other members so, there can not be accusations of spam.

=========================
HOW DO SAFELISTS WORK?
=========================

In order to send your e-mail ad to other members, you must earn credits. You can earn credits by clicking ad links in e-mails that you receive from other members. So safelists work on exchange principle. You read e-mail ads from other members and in return other members read your e-mail ads.

=========================
DOWNSIDES
=========================

As safelists usually have thousands of members, who have the right to send you their e-mail ads, your inbox could get overloaded with e-mail ads. So you shouldn't use your primary e-mail address for safelists. You should find online e-mail provider that allows safelists and use one dedicated e-mail account just for that purpose.

Other downside is that your e-mail ad can get lost between many e-mail ads that other safelist members receive. But you can help this by using good subject lines for your e-mail ads and some other techniques, but this won't be covered in this article.

=========================
CONCLUSION
=========================

But even with those downsides, safelists can be useful tool, if used the right way. Safelists shouldn't be replacement to your own targeted list of subscribers, but they can supplement your advertising efforts.

Who Says Safe Lists Don’t Work?

Spam rules not withstanding, prospect-targeted email marketing
is still one of the best ways to promote products, drive traffic to your website, increase sales and grow your own mailing list exponentially. Although you can no longer buy any list you want, there is a large number of email addresses available through opt-in lists, i.e. those in which people have given their permission to have emails sent to them.

Working through a third-party, like Facebook or the continuity program for a mass commodity product, is not as easy as it sounds especially if you are a business-to-business marketer. Further, the composition of their lists is usually wrong for most online companies or small entrepreneurs.
Your best option may be to join Safe Lists; there are many thousands of them out there. If used properly, they can be a powerful part of your online marketing plan.

There are a significant number of skeptics, of course, who believe that safe lists are ineffective because of their composition. That is, these mailing lists are comprised largely of other online business owners who have opted in only to market their own products and services to the membership. The assumption is that these subscribers are totally uninterested in even reading any of the emails that are not their own.

That may be, but if you can reach enough of them with a meaningful and motivating message, the relatively low hanging fruit is bound to be more bountiful than you imagine -- especially if you are selling marketing techniques or information.

Additionally, safe lists are usually double opt-in databases so the other big issue for detractors is the time and effort involved in the set up phase, specifically for joining and validating your individual memberships. Plus, you have to wade through hundreds and hundreds of emails from everyone else on these lists, taking an extraordinary amount of time deleting the messages in which you have no interest. When you have to do all of this yourself, the work-to-profit ratio can look very unappealing.

“SafeList Buddy” was designed to do all the grunt work for you. This advanced software literally automates the entire process making it incredibly less time intensive and quite cost efficient so you can literally join every list there is.

Dubbed “a Cookie Cutter process to success” by its developer, “SafeList Buddy” has the auto join features you’d expect plus it handles all the validation emails. Just as importantly, its “Pop3Mail Cleaner Software” automatically deletes the unwanted emails from other Safe List subscribers, keeping your inbox manageable. It’s even designed to work within the credit system, clicking on the links that earn you credits (without you actually having to read the emails themselves).

“SafeList Buddy” is the most up-to-date and complete software you can buy for this purpose. And, it’s much more economical than joining any of the membership sites that offer something similar. Instead of paying about $30.00 a month, when you purchase “SafeList Buddy” it’s yours for the onetime charge. Depending on the size of your campaigns, this could save you thousands and thousands of dollars.
