What is a Safelist?
Basically a safelist is a gathering of like minded individuals who have agreed to exchanges ads. You agree to receive ads from all the othersmembers in exchange for the opportunity to send your own. This concept has many advantages, here's a couple of them.
The advantages of safelist marketing
For one it's spam free as people have to double opt-in to the safelist and thereby agreeing to receive your ads, should some nutter 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, a safelist is a closed community where it is safe for members to exchange ads.
The second advantage is quite obvious but many people fail to see this, what does all safelist members have in common? They have something to sell, but they have not advanced far enough in their internet marketing carreer to dismiss a very mundane task as posting to safelist is. That means that if you have a product, report, ebook, income opportunity etc. that can help people on the 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 wont. Safelist are a starting point for many newbie marketers and picking those up as subscribers and customers can be very profitable e.g. they do not own every product out there and they do not know everything, meaning that you have plenty of stuff to 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 anyway...
Mike Filsaime and safelists
Speaking of *Mike Filsaime* did you know he started his internet marketing career using safelists? I have listened to several conference calls where Mike explains how he built a list of *7000* members using nothing but safelists and that list netted him $7000 a month. In fact Mike and his "intern" Jason Dinner are still regular safelist user although I believe they pay people to do the dirty work nowadays...
...imagine that, paying people to do your safelist posting, I'm pretty sure Jason and Mike don't find safelists useless!
If you have used safelists in your marketing, you probably discovered some of the problems.
1. 90% of all safelists are rubbish
2. You get a ton of emails and nobody reads your ads
3. If they do read your ads, they aren’t buying or joining.
