Pearls of Wealth -- #1 Recommended Safelist Submitter. It sends no matter what -- even if your account is on vacation. I've been a member for years, and it is still one of my top advertising sources.

Classy Ad Blasts (includes search engine submissions, blog ads, solo ads to ezine readers, etc.) -- I'm 100% sold on their services. Check out their page to see what all they have to offer. Excellent customer support, too.

PR4U -- This is one of my favorite places to advertise. It's a monthly fee but well worth it. Your ads will go out to contact email addresses daily. The monthly fee is low for this sort of thing.

Ad Boards (100% free ads)

Do not underestimate this type of advertising. Your ads will remain for awhile and will get some clicks. As you know, just one click has the potential of turning into a customer. I have pro memberships at all three of the ad boards listed below. Why? Because 1) I can offer people free advertising and 2) I can show my ads to every single person who posts there.

Online Business Social Networking (excellent for getting sales)

Wowzza -- Newest Business-only Networking Website It's new, and there are many "serious" online workers there. I'm already finding new customers and new signups to various opportunities I'm in. This is a paid-member-only place, so it's fairly easy to bring in new members. View the payplan. It's great! Right now we are giving away a free pro membership and free solo ad to people who join under us. Click here for more details.

Direct Matches - Business Place (not a dating site) -- brings me new customers and signups. You can advertise for free there or upgrade to customer or manager/executive level to build your income with them. Even a free membership will allow you some advertising: Click Here to join. Once you join just post some classifieds and in some of their money-making forums. Post everyday and post as much as you can. The more you do the more times your profile (and your ads) will be seen. Create a profile (with -- hopefully -- a picture of yourself). Put information about what you do online there so people will visit your website (affiliate website is fine).

Adland Pro -- 100% free. Sure, you can upgrade if you want to once you get used to it. But you don't have to upgrade to advertise there. Free members are very welcome! This is a very busy place, too. And all forum posts get picked up by the search engines! Make sure to create a profile. Put information about what you do online. Send people to your websites. I find customers and new members here. I know you can, too. Click on "networking" after you sign in. Then find some forums where your ads are welcome. Post ads in those. You can also buy advertising there, which I find to be a big plus. Am I a pro member? Yes, I did go to the top level in the networking site. I know networking brings me lots of business. Click here -- join free.

Safelist Advertising & Hosting Your Own Safelists

Hosting Your Own Safelists (Excellent Response to Your Ads -- Low Cost) -- I know adopting a safelist to run yourself may seem a bit scary to some, but I have to tell you, many of my sales come from sending admin ads to the contact email addresses. I adopted about 15-20 safelists (at various safelist hosts) and send to them regularly. Why? Because contact solo ads work. I figure by paying small monthly fees for the safelists I'm saving a bundle because you can buy one ad from some places for as much as $15. By hosting your own safelist you can send all you want for a small monthly fee ($3 or $4). Much better -- especially when you consider you can send as many ads as you want to -- all month long! Now, you don't want to adopt a list with no members on it. You want a ready-made contact list. So check these places out. Find a list with a lot of members and adopt it. Try it for a month and see if you see any response to your ads. Send 4 ads (at least) everyday through the admin area -- send to the contact email addresses. The 2 least-expensive places I've found for adopting safelists are one and two. The safelists run themselves. All you have to worry about doing is send your ads :-) This is the next best thing to having your own contact list. To find other places that allow you to adopt lists with members Google "adopt a safelist" or "safelist adoption".

List Building

Did you realize that "all" of the top internet marketers you hear about online have built a contact list? Ask any of them and I would be REALLY surprised if any of them said that they didn't have a list. Having your own contact list is "by far" the most responsive form of advertising. Does it take time to build a list? Yes! But the time is well spent. I try to add something to capture people onto my list in almost all of the ads I send out. I highly recommend getting started on this today. Even just 10 people on your list are "10 more people than you had to advertise to yesterday" :-) And remember, it only takes "one" person to equal a sale. Just one if you find the "right" one.

You don't need a website to build your contact list. You can get a pro account here at Get Response for just $17.97 a month and start building (they let you even try it for free). You get unlimited autoresponders. Plus you can have people just send an email to get on your list. For example, want to email 400,000 members free daily? send an email to freeadsubmitter@getresponse.com from your primary email. Then click on the validation link to get your free (100% resale rights) advertising source. You can get people signed up on your list by simply offering them information or products or free places to advertise. Anything can help you build your list. Then once you have your own website you can setup lead capture pages and even get them all submitted to the search engines. Here's an example of just one of my many lead capture pages: Click Here to See. Of course, building your list will take time. BUT ... it's time well spent. The bigger your list gets the more sales and signups you will get. With Get Response you can send to your list anytime you want to from your account. I find that very nice!

NEW LIST BUILDING AUTOMATED SYSTEM -- I am very impressed with this system! I cannot believe how much you get. You will need your own autoresponder account to use this. Any autoresponder will work. I do recommend Get Response or Aweber if you want to start building at a very trusted place (I think that's really important when building a list). This system not only helps you build a quality list, but you also make an income from everyone who joins. Currently you can get the list builder 100% free if you join from here: Click to View. You also get many downloads, all with 100% resale rights. These are not useless downloads, either! Click to View (but don't buy from here -- join at the link above to get it free). If you'd like to view one of the lead capture pages I get with my membership, click here. This is VERY impressive! Even signup and get the free downloads. (this system will even teach you "step-by-step" exactly how to market online).

URGENT LIST BUILDING HELP -- If you want to build super fast and really want to make sure you're doing it 100% correctly, I highly recommend this (80% off for a limited time). Turn your speakers up and listen as John Denton explains "exactly" why you need this. He even gives you the exact same software "he" uses to build his list. Believe me ... this will really help you. I am very impressed with it -- Click Here to View -- The main training videos go step by step using Aweber as an example but any autoresponder will work with this.

And if you'd like to get your hands on ready-made contact lists, here are the two I recommend (yes, I'm at the top membership in both of them).

Downline Builder -- Send to 20,000 Contacts instantly. Even join for free (though I do recommend upgrading with the one-time-offer).

List Auction -- Nice contact list. You can join for free, but again, of course I recommend the one-time-offer. Advertising is so important. It's worth the one-time investment.

Advertising to Safelists

Doing a search online for "free pro safelists" or "free safelists" should bring you some places to start. I'm also listing some that work well for me.

Free Pro Safelist Memberships -- No cost at all for these. Send daily.

Traffic Secret -- 100% free or go pro and make 100% commissions. I get a nice response through there. People click on the links to get more credits so they can send. Use an email account where you can click on the links, too. Pro members get a lot of send credits plus can send twice daily. Well worth the upgrade.

PR4U -- This is one of my favorite places to advertise. It's a monthly fee but well worth it. Your ads will go out to contact email addresses daily. The monthly fee is low for this sort of thing. I'm a very happy member.

Free Safelists at the Pearls Index -- You can join and send to these by hand (for free) or join the submitter and send to all of them at once (much easier but costs "of course"). I've been a pro member here for years. When you send through the submitter your ads reach "all" of the Pearls lists whether you're on vacation from bouncing or not. I see that as a great thing! Ads get through no matter what.

Target Pro -- 100% Profit Ad Submitter -- I sell this and use it every single day. Selling it is a great way to keep funds flowing into your account. Plus every single person who does "anything" online needs advertising.

Traffic Package -- I have learned a lot by reading everything in the member area! Wow! You can't beat this for the low (1-time) cost.

Pro Solos -- Pro Safelist Memberships in some really nice-sized safelists. Well worth the $7.50 (one-time) price. Plus Compuhits Submitter comes with it. Even get a search engine submitter that comes with resale rights.

My Free Safelist -- Free members can advertise or go pro for only $10 and make 100% profit each time you bring in another pro member. Pro members can also send all they want.

Classified Ad Sites

Free Classified Site -- Backpage. This one brings me some response. It's free or you can upgrade your ad to paid for a very low cost. Then your ad rotates to the top hourly. Not bad.

Search Engine Submission

Make sure you get listed in the major search engines. I'm listing one search engine submitter below, and only one. It's not free, and it's not cheap ... BUT ... It works! I'm getting a lot of my sites indexed quickly. Plus it even sends to many classified and FFA sites for me with one simple click.

Traffic Seeker Search Engine Submitter to 800,000 -- Again, it's not cheap, but it really works well. Plus it's so easy to use that even "I" can do it! :-) I bought the top level and am loving it (but again, this is only for when you can afford to invest more in your business). I see being listed in "all" of the search engines a necessity. To do that I wanted the "best" and "easiest-to-use" software available.

Classy Ad Blasts (includes search engine submissions) -- I'm 100% sold on their services. Check out their page to see what all they have to offer.
