The Safelists

 :: Posted by Brian Glusman on 02-28-2010

If you are concerned in online marketing, chances are good that you’re using or have at some point used safelists to promote your business. Here’s merely a short outline from my internet marketing blog, of how safelists work in case you haven’t heard of them. And then we’ll move on to the safelist submitter.  

Firstly, you can join up to free. When you do so, you will need 2 gmail addresses. Most safelists will only accept gmail addresses thanks to the bulk amounts of email you will be getting in your inboxes. Whatever you do, don’t use your primary e-mail address when you sign up. You’ll understand why as I explain further.

Many safelists allow you to sign up for free and give you credits right from the get-go. These credits equal out to the amount of the safelist’s members that you can send a promotional email to. You’ll send out this email with a link to whatever site you would like to promote and members will click that site to receive credits. The hope is that as they are clicking on your internet site, they will be interested in what you have to offer. In order to gain more credits, you also will need to open all of the emails sent out to you from the safelist and click on the members sites. You can continue to earn credits by clicking or you can upgrade your account which gives you credits even if you don’t click.

So, that is the gist of how a safelist works. There are hundreds of safelists online and the more that you can promote to, the more leads/sales you will generate. That is where the safelist submitter comes in. This type of software permits you to sumit your ad to several of the safelists all at once.

It seems that submitters do appear and disappear pretty frequently and their legitimacy is queried regularly on the net. This one has beaten the test of time and does continue to get favorable reviews from real folk. It’s called The Safelist Boys.

The Safelist Boys are a pair of online marketers that have done very well for themselves in the Safelist selling industry. They operate a pair safelists and few other safelist related sites. Their angle was to try differentiate themselves by making their safelist poster which they call Safelist Boys AutoMailer more complicated and more user friendly than the other safelist submitters. This is one of the less expensive submitters at only $4.99 each month.

But there is more to it than just the quantity of mails sent by a submitter. You must also ensure that you increase the number of emails essentially delivered. A lot of emails will finish up in Junk-Mail folders and will never be read. If you take a look at your e-mail for words and phrases that would trigger the SPAM filters, you can significantly increase the quantity of emails which are seen and read by folk.

If you haven’t tried safelists yet in your advertising efforts, begin with those and then think about a safelist submitter later in the game.

A lot of people are of the opinion that internet marketing is some get rich quick scam which teaches people how to make a lot of money in a few days time. A lot of people have this misunderstanding. Internet marketing is not some easy way to make a lot of money online. It is about effectively promoting your site and targeting it to the right audience.

The internet being one resource that is accessed by millions of user s everyday makes it a perfect platform for business. It s not an easy job to advertize the services you offer on the internet. But if you are mainly new to internet and are still learning technologies, then it becomes difficult for you to complete the internet marketing.

Be careful when buying an eBook or tutorial online, sometimes advertisers don t provide the correct information about their product. Such techniques are followed to lure customers into buying that particular product. Thats why people always read a few reviews of the product before purchasing it.

Moving on to, promoting products online. In order to market products online you will need a website. The site has to be designed in a way it attracts the customer, you can also add some offers or discounts to attract them. Your content should be relevant to your product and services.
