Paula Frye's Advertising Sources and Ideas -- Safelist advertising

Safelist Advertising (includes hosting safelists)

Safelists can be a great way to advertise. I have used safelists for years and have always felt I was reaching an audience that was interested in what I had to offer. There are different kinds of safelists.

For those who are unfamiliar with what a safelist is, it's a place where you can send email solo ads to other internet marketers (highly targeted advertising). In exchange, you agree to receive their ads.

My #1 Safelist Submitter (excellent submitter - or join some individually at the link) I use is Pearls of Wealth submitter. It sends to ALL of their lists (and more) by bypassing any restrictions your account has on it (free account, on vacation, bouncing, etc.). These ads get out and they get out FAST. I am amazed by this submitter. It's run by Sabrina, who is a very good admin, too. If you can swing it, get it and use it every single day. It's one of my main advertising sources.

You may want to join just a couple to get used to using them. Select a few. I recommend getting email addresses at a place you know will not ever ban you because you are using their email address for advertising.

The email company I use is Yuhknow. It's run by people who host safelists, so I feel safe using them.

Gmail is currently allowing people to use their email accounts for advertising, but if they later go the way of Yahoo, they will start rejecting advertising emails. If that ever happens, you will have your work cut out for you if they are your main email accounts for advertising. You'll need a good contact "and" list email address for most 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.

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.

Marketer Pro -- 100% profit included -- Many pro safelist memberships and other advertising in the member area.

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.

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

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.

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.
