What is safelists. Basically, a safelist is a group of people all willing to receive each other's promotions via email --in the hopes that their promotion will generate more business. In other words, safelists are many, many "marketers" that have agreed to receive each other's email. The drawback is that everyone is trying to sell and no one wants to buy. Some do buy, however, and that's your market. You just need something that other "marketers" will want or need. Currently, there are many tens of thousands of members to various safelists, and some are more effective than others. Also, there are different types (i.e. web-based and PC-based) that we will explore.
Safelists enables you to get your message out to thousands of potential customers every single day (in some cases) --without being accused of SPAM. SPAM is a big NO-NO... regardless of what anyone might tell you.
Unfortunately, this isn't as effective anymore, seeing as there is many and I mean MANY safelists out there, everyone trying to convince you that they will generate you sales. If you want to use safelists, you are probably better off using paid safelists.
Here are some of the basic differences between free and paid safelists:
Free safelists are generally not as well maintained as paid safelists, meaning that the safelist owner rarely monitors what gets posted to the list and how often people post. This only makes sense because the moderators are not making any money; so they don't have an active interest.
Free safelists are generally more unreliable than paid lists. The free safelists typical use less than professional quality hosting, so they tend to be up one day and down the next. Stuff like this may cause you to waste precious time.
Free safelists generally attract people who are not looking to buy --they ONLY want to sell and usually are inexperienced safelist users.
A lot of people join safelists with junk email addresses, and don't keep up on their email, so they get bounced from the list. The reason being is that they don't have anything to lose, since they didn't pay to join the list.
Paid safelists on the other hand are generally better maintained, and monitored because the list owner is making money to keep his subscriber base up to date.
Reliability and Reach are very important, but probably the most important factor is the REACH (that is the number of members the safelist has and how often you can email them). The reliability and reach of safelists vary greatly -even between free and paid categories.
For example, a Business World List free membership allows you to submit to 200 members in the database every other day. However a paid member is able to email to 30,000+ members every other day. That is worth the difference because you have to consider how many free safelists it would take to be able to email 30,000 members.
The same holds true for the other mentioned popular safelist known as Herculist. As a Herculist free member you are allowed to email 700 random member addresses. Although paying members with Pro Membership can send to 23,000+ members every other day.
Personally, I don't use safelists. For me this is a bit of a waste of time. But other people have had some success with it
Till next time.
Happy Money Making!
