Are you using Safelists to build your Business??
First off let me explain what a Safelist is and how they work for
those of you who don't know then I will discuss their effectiveness for
generating site traffic.
A Safelist is an email list that you can join for free, and in return
for joining you are permitted to email out to the entire list of
members. Most safelist providers limit the number of times you can email
to the list. Some safelist providers will allow you to email to the
list more often if you upgrade to a paid membership.
We have found that the best safelists are those that work on a credit
based system. Credit based safelists are fair for everyone as you have
to earn credits in order to email to the list of members. The way to
earn credits is to click on links when emails are sent out.
Safelists require members to join and agree to receive email and in this way they conform to anti-spam regulations.
The fact that most Safelists are free to join and use is an advantage for anyone on a tight advertising budget.
Now to answer the question, do Safelists work? YES! We can tell you
with 100% certainty that Safelists DO work. We use them, and we
recommend them to our members as an effective, easy, low cost traffic
generation tool.
NOTE: There are some things that will definitely INCREASE your
effectiveness in getting results when you use Safelists, so listen up.
Here is what you need to know to get the best results from Safelist postings
1. Make sure what you are sending to the Safelist is motivating,
includes an offer and reasons to respond NOW! You will get the BEST
response if you include something for free or limit the availability of
the offer. Example, do this by X date and you will get this X free!
2. If you have a dud ad or offer that does not yield a response, change
it up, strengthen it, reword, add value, change your offer but do
something to make it more compelling to the reader.
3. Mail to your Safelist when your target audience is AWAKE! If you are in the UK and
targetting the USA with your Safelist offer be sure to send the mailing
when your audience is up and at their computer ready and able to respond
to your offer. Early mornings and later in the evening is when you want
people to receive your posting.
4. Make sure your Safelist mailing includes a way to capture lead
information, your readers may not buy what you are offering today, but
if you can encourage them to provide their contact information you have a
valuable lead for future offers.
5. Landing Pages are VERY effective for safelist posts. Landing pages
are a fast loading, eye-popping single page that usually includes an
offer, and a lead capture form. If you can, also include a video player
to get people's attention. Give people lots of reasons to read your ad
and respond to your ad NOW!
Comments would be appreciated.
Have a Great Day.
