SafeList II
16 STEPS ON HOW TO COMPLETELY FAIL WITH SAFELISTS How To Completely Fail With Safelists? If you're looking to FAIL with safelists then really...that's very easy! Rather than following proven steps to success with using safelists that can earn you money - it is just as easy to ignore these rules and waste hours, days or months. Then you can complain like many others do that "Safelists don't work". HOW CAN I ACHIEVE ABSOLUTE FAILURE WITH SAFELISTS? Just follow these steps: Step 1 - Join only a few safelists. You don't need to join hundreds of lists. Ignore the fact that Safelist marketing is a numbers game; you need to get your message out to as many folks as possible.
Step 2 - Join only "free" safelists. Why pay for safelists when there are hundreds of free safelists.
Step 3 - Use only free email accounts like "Yahoo" and "Hotmail”.
Step 4 - Use your main or personal email account as your list or subscribe account. Ignore the fact that you will receive 1000s of emails.
Step 5 - Allow your mail boxes to fill up and "bounce" emails. Besides Safelist owners are only bluffing when they say don't "bounce" emails or your account will be delete. Go ahead...call their bluff!
Step 6 - Do not use Safelist submitters. Besides, who wants to use tools that allows you to auto join and auto submit to hundreds of safelists at the click of the button. Just simply manually join hundreds of lists. Then you could submit ads, one by one, to hundreds of safelists. This would only take 5 – 8 hours. Forget that automation is the key to success in the online world.
Step 7 - Do not learn the secrets of writing good subject lines for your ads. Who reads subject lines anyway! Step 8 - Never test your subject lines to find out which ones are being clicked on. Just use any subject and Click away.
Step 9 - Use All CAPS, $$ signs, or words like "FREE", "money", profit", "cash" or "dollars" in your Subject. The SPAM filters will ignore it.
Step 10 - Use outrageous, unbeleivable subjects like "Make $300,000 in 3 days"; Or my all time favorite "Retire in 30 days". We always click and read these ads, don’t we?.
Step 11- Send the same ad every day. No one will notice that this is the same ad they have seen for the last month. They will never delete this ad!
Step 12 - Do not learn How to write effective ad copy. Everyone knows good copy is not important.
Step 13 - Do not track your safelist ads to see which ones are responsive. Tracking software cost money anyway. Ignore the fact that automation is the key to success in the online world.
Step 14 - Try to sell directly with your safelist ads. Do not attempt to obtain the email address from every potential customer and build your Opt-in list. Ignore the fact that this is where you will make your sales and "not with the safelist ads".
Step 15 - Never use auto responders to stay in contact with you Opt-in list. Again, ignore the fact that automation is the key to success in the online world.
Step 16 - Do not learn the marketing and sales techniques of the online business world. Forget about becoming educated and staying current in the world of online marketing.
There you are, now you know how to “fail miserably” with safelists. The above steps, whether we realize it, is what 95% of us do anyway. Most of us market with safelist the wrong way. The above steps are what we do wrong.
Now if you want to truly succeed with safelists, do not follow steps 1 - 16. Do the exact opposite and you will start to see results.
The Eight Great Lies of Safelist Marketing Lie #1: You can make sales directly from safelist ads!
THE TRUTH: Most of your sales will not be made directly from sending out safelist ads. You need a system to capture your visitors email address such as autoresponders or a signup form on your website. autoresponders are excellent and offers free autoresponders for 30 days. These Autoresponders effortlessly follow up sales and leads, manage your mailing lists, and build repeat customers.
Another excellent autoresponder that I use is Aweber one o f the best autoresponders on the market.
Then you need to follow up with your subscribers, providing them USEFUL information over a period of time.
Lie #2): You don't need Safelist submitters to submit your ads.
THE TRUTH: True, you don't need submitters to post your ads. However, without submitters, you are wasting your time. You can post to 500 safelists in the time it takes to post to one safelist.
Lie #3: Only join free safelists! You don't need to pay for safelists when there are thousands of free safelists!
THE TRUTH: Free safelists are not as responsive as paid list. Paid safelists have more benefits. In addition, paid list members often read their mail instead of deleting it.
Also, paid members are more serious about their marketing efforts and may even buy from you.
Lie #4:: You can easily get people to sign up for your safelist offer.
THE TRUTH: You need to offer something for free and valuable to encourage more people to join your lists. It can be a free eCourse, eBook, report, software etc... Everyone needs professional website hosting, free Web Hosting. Excellent free hosting.
I use paid hosting account at: http://freewebs.com they let you join free, then upgrade... you can even create advertise and add additional revenue for your website using their free hosting! Lie #5:: Safelist ads are very responsive. THE TRUTH: Safelists ads are not very responsive unless you are sending to hundreds or even thousands of safelists. You need to get your ad in front of as many people as possible to be successful with safelists. However, if you learn how to correctly use safelists, you can be successful with your marketing efforts.
Lie #6: Thousands of safelist members will read your safelist ad. THE TRUTH: Safelist members get thousands of emails a day. No one can possibly read email from 100,000 other people! As a result, many safelist users simply delete a lot of the ads.
However, you can get your safelist mail read if you use the right safelist strategies. Start with having a "killer" subject. Then the ad itself must be convincing enough to cause the reader to want to click to your site.
Lie #6:: AOL, Hotmail or any other free email accounts are adequate to handle you safelist mail.
THE TRUTH: The Number One Reason Safelist Users Give Up is due to inadequate email boxes to handle all the tons of email you will receive.
The biggest problem with posting to safelists is having your account disabled, deleted or put on vacation due to bounced emails from full email accounts.
You will lose sales because no one sees your ad! This is the number one reason safelist marketers quit. The truth is you need a "large Professional" mail box such as YuhKnow that can handle all of the safelist email.
Lie #7: Safelists are a waste of time and money.
THE TRUTH: Safelists can be very valuable if used correctly. Most people use safelists the wrong way. There is a lot of mis-information about safelists. Safelists are not useless if used PROPERLY. One mistake most people make is trying to sell directly with safelist ads. This is a mistake!
Safelists should be used to capture the email addresses of potential customers and to build your opt-in list. Offer something of value and offer it as a Free Give-Away!
Then you can send periodic, value-added mailings to your Opt-in list. This is where you will make you sales. _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ![]() |
