What about Safelists?
Definition:
Safelists are groups of marketers who join for the purpose of sending their ads to other members in the group. You must subscribe to the list and all of the members then agree to send and receive emails from one another.
Effectiveness:
Safelists is a very effective and affordable ( most are free ) online promotion method. Some people claim that safelist advertising is not that effective anymore, but I have like many others a totally different opinion towards that: It works!
How to use safelists:
First, you will need to setup 2 email address:
- Your Contact Email to receive important messages and/or your login info from the safelists administration.
- Your List Email which is where other members in the safelists will send you their ads. ( I highly recommend that you do not use your main email account for this )
Here is the best email provider that you can sign up for your free. Most safelist programs prefer members with Gmail accounts! You will get a web based email account to use to both as your list Email and contact Email: Gmail.com
When using an email client such as Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird or Eudora, your Gmail accounts can easily be integrated with that. Read the instructions as explained in your Gmail account for that.
Next,
you’ll need to start subscribing to as many safelists as you can. Please check out our preferred Safelist Directories with the best tested and recommended safelists to join for free Here. Or you can use my complete listing from Here.
As you can see I use mostly credit based safelists. They generate more hits, since members can only post their personal ads when they have sufficient credits earned by clicking the safelist ads they received.
In other words: credit based safelists are more efficective!
For the advertisement itself, if you do not want to write your own, you can find pre-written, eye-catching titles with attractive ads everywhere on the web. When you are advertising a certain program or product, you probably will find pre-written ads in your affiliate area for the program or product you want to advertise.
If you can not find them, you then would write it yourself or contact your up line or the admin for that. Especially when your English is not that good, I recommend to find someone who can help you. Also forums can be a good resource to
find pre written ads.
Now, most of these free safelists only allow you to post your ads every certain days ( i.e.. 1 post every 7 days ). To help you organize these safelists so you know exactly when you can post to certain safelists, you can use a safelist-organizer so you won’t have to waste time logging into a safelist only to find out that it’s not time to post yet.
I use my own (Excel) document where I keep track of my latest actions. This way I know when I can send another ad using specific Safelists.
Important Key to use safelist marketing:
Please understand that you cannot expect result from posting for 1 day only. The key to succeed in safelist marketing is by posting to as many safelists as you can on a DAILY basis. You just cannot expect yourself to become doctor in 1 day. You’ll need to study hard and practise every day to start seeing the result. So devote yourself 1 ~ 2 hours a day to posting your ads. With the right headline/content, you’ll start seeing result as early as 1 ~ 3 weeks of posting.
Another key to success with safelist advertising is using content that is different from the rest. As you can understand, when your ad is different from the rest, it will get more attention, like in all business.
