Ultimate Safelist Survival Guide: What is a safelist anyway?
Basically a safelist is a gathering of likeminded individuals who have agreed to exchanges ads. You agree to receive ads from all the other members in exchange for the opportunity to send your own ads. This concept has many advantages, and here is a couple of them.
The advantages of safelist marketing
The first advantage is it's spam free because people have to double opt-in to the safelist and thereby agreeing to receive your ads. Should some less informed person decide that the safelist mail is spam anyway it's not really your problem as the mail is not sent from your email address or server. Actually this is the origin of the name safelist. It is a closed community where it is safe for members to exchange ads amongst themselves.
The second advantage is quite obvious but many people fail to see this. It is, “What do all Safelist Members have in Common?” They have something to sell, but they have not advanced far enough in their internet marketing career to dismiss a very mundane task as posting to safelists. That means that if you have a product, report, e-book, website, wealth building opportunity etc. that can help people on their way to internet glory, the average safelist user is an excellent prospect for you.
Why I will always use safelists
I could probably make do without safelists but I sure do not want to. Safelists are a starting point for many new online marketers and picking those people up as subscribers and customers can be very profitable e.g. they do not own every product out there already and they do not know everything about marketing, meaning that you have plenty of stuff to tell and sell them. You can see this as opposed to getting *Mike Filsaime* on your list, when your initial giggling wears off you will probably realize that Mike owns everything you promote and if he doesn't he will probably create his own version of that product soon anyway.
Big Name marketers and safelists
If you have been doing any online marketing for a while, you have probably heard the name Mike Filsaime. Did you know he started his internet marketing career using safelists? I have listened in on several conference calls where Mike explains how he built an email list of over*7000* members using nothing but safelists and how that list netted him over $7000.00 a month. In fact Mike and his "intern" Jason Dinner continue to be regular safelist users although I believe they pay people now to do the dirty work for them. The truth is, any way you can build an email list can’t be considered dirty work!
Imagine that, paying people to do your safelist posting for you, I'm pretty sure Jason and Mike don't find safelists useless! I know my goal is to have someone doing my safelist posting, article submitting, forum posting, etc. for me at some point. As you probably have started to realize, there are only so many hours in a day, and far too many great ways to promote yourself and your business. This is just another great way for you to Increase Website Traffic.
