What is the Difference Between Safelists and Building My Own Mailing List and Which Should I Use
A lot of people just don’t seem to realize how important it is to have a list of people to email. I have been asked time and time again if people can just use safelists and other list building programs or if they need their own lists.
In this article I will answer this question and explain to you just how and why you should be using safelists and your own email lists.
Safelists are the first thing we will discuss. A safelist is a group of individuals who agree to receive emails from other individuals in the group. The manner by which it works is you can ordinarily join for free or for a fee. When you join, you agree to be sent emails from other people in the safelist. Majority of safelists will have a link in the email that you have to click for you to earn credits. At this juncture, you can trade your credits for mailing other members, and when they receive your email they must click the credit link to get credits and they see your website when they do.
You have to remember that these other members are like you — they want to email people and obtain traffic but they don’t wish to buy something that another member is telling them about. Honestly, you can earn money selling products on safelists, but you’re not going to make a living selling on safelists.
But safelists have a niche in Internet marketing. Basically, all you need to do is to bribe people with something of value that you give to them for free and they provide you their email address. In a short span of time you will have a list of your own you can email every time you want without needing to click safelist links to get credits. To explain how essential it is to maintain your own list, on average for every one person you get to sign up to your email list you will make approximately one dollar every month from. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “One dollar, yeah right”, but if you think about it this way 100 people equals 0 and 1,000 people equals ,000 are you beginning to understand how crucial it is now?
This is an average because every person on your list is not going to simply buy a product from you every month. The way it is works out is, when you have people on your mailing list they are more inclined to purchase from you as long as you provide quality, and you should be able to sell 1 product once a month to every 1 person out of 50 who are on your list. You can also build your list however big you prefer it to be, where safelists just let you email so many people every 3 to 7 days. You can start a blog and have people sign up to your email list to be updated when you have a new post. It doesn’t stop there however, you can use any method or program you wish that can help you grow your list. The point is it is limitless.
So which of the two do you have to you use — safelists or your own email list? And the answer is both, use safelists to begin building your own mailing list.
