I use safelist marketing as a main component of my marketing efforts. Primarily, because safelist marketing is extremely cost-effective. But, I don’t use a marketing strategy just because it is cheap…it has to work as well! Safelist marketing does work and I am going to show you today some simple tips to maximize your safelist marketing and improve your results by up to 300% or even more!

Keep in mind that when people sign up for a safelist account, the generally use a “list email” to receive the emails from other members. The reason being is that you can receive 1000s of emails every day depending on how many safelist accounts you have. This “list email” address is a secondary email address specifically used to receive safelist emails. Not everybody looks at the safelist emails they receive but there are enough marketers out there who are either just looking for opportunities and will read the emails or who are clicking on emails to earn credits so that they can send out their own email ads. The key question is “How Do I Get My Email To Stand Out From The Rest”?

1. USE WHITE SPACE: One way to get your emails to stand out from the pack is by the use of “white space”. The eye is naturally drawn to something that is different or unique. Indent your subject line by 5-10 spaces with the space bar to create white space. This will make your subject line actually look like it is beginning towards the middle of most other subject lines, making yours different and helping it to stand out.

2. INTRIGUING SUBJECT LINES: It is imperative to write eye-catching or intriguing subject lines to make sure that enough people open your emails. My most effective subject lines either ask a question or contain an incomplete thought. For example…”I Used To Make $0.00 Also…Until…” I like to make use of the “…” as it’s eye catching as well creates a desire to learn the answer. Test out your own subject lines and stick with the ones that give you the best results.

3. CONSISTENCY: The most important piece of the marketing puzzle, and where many network marketers fail, is consistency. You need to send out your email ads every day. If you do this simple task, you will be more effective than 95% of your competition. Marketing on a safelist is similar to having a small store on a busy 4 lane “main street usa” road with a lot of competition. Every day, those business owners hang signs telling the people that drive by their store every day that they have slashed prices or are having a sale or have the best Pizza in town. Today might not be the right day for you to shop there but if they can keep catching your eye, one day you will stop in. It’s the same with Safelists.

Follow these 3 simple tips and start driving insane amounts of targeted network marketing leads to your site immediately!

This is a follow-up in my series of articles about generating free or inexpensive network marketing leads. The majority of network marketers that I work with are working within the framework of a pretty tight budget. That’s OK because there are ways to generate yourself a lot of network marketing leads on the cheap if you utilize certain marketing strategies.

Today I am going to talk about using List Builders. Specifically 2 of the best list building programs that I have found on the internet – Viral URL and Viral Hosts. I am a Gold member in both and cannot recommend them highly enough for the budget conscious marketer. I am not including my sign-up links because this is not meant to be an advertisement. You can join both for Free but will need to upgrade to receive the real bang for your buck. I am just letting you know about these programs because they are unique…they operate like a cross between a safelist and ad exchange/solo ad.

With Viral Hosts, if you join for Free you will be able to have 1 domain hosted and be able to email your downline every 7 days but will not be able to email the member base, which is what we are talking about here. The Gold membership allows you to email 3,000 random members every 3 days and the Diamond or Elite level will let you email 6,000 random members every 3 days.

With Viral URL, you can email members for as a free member but will need to accumulate credits like I spoke about yesterday in my safelist marketing article. Since both programs are owned by the same guys, Colin Klinkert and Frank Bauer, the same upgraded membership levels exist with Viral URL as do with Viral Hosts.

The way I look at it, I am paying well under $1 per lead with both programs which is a good thing! Both Viral Hosts and Viral URL have extrememly responsive marketers as their members. I’m not sure why these lists are so responsive but they are. I will typically get between 5-10 sign-ups from every mailing I do, and I’ve heard of people generating many more leads than that.

Both programs operate like a safelist in that are emailing random members of their membership base. They differ from safelists in that you are emailing to the member’s contact email rather than a list email for a safelist. If you are able to write catchy subject lines, your emails have a much better chance of being opened because you know that they will at least be seen!

Using List Builders is one of my favorite strategies to generate free and inexpensive network marketing leads. As with anything, you need to be consistent when using this strategy and change up your subject headings to see what works. While I generally have a very good response, I have also been shut out. Do not get discouraged when this happens (hard to do I know!). If there are any other list builders which operate similarly, I would love to know about them. Please leave me a comment if you have any recommendations.

As network marketers, the most important thing that we can do in our business is generate leads. We need to be able to create a consistent flow of network marketing leads into our business. Preferably at the lowest cost possible. But…how do we do that?

There are many marketing strategies that you can implement to achieve this goal. Many of the top strategies cost money and require that you have an advertising budget. I understand that there are a lot of people just getting started in network marketing who might not have the budget to run pay-per-click campaigns or use the more expensive strategies.

So…what does the network marketer on a budget do to generate high quality, targeted leads into their business on a daily basis? There are numerous ways to achieve our goal, which I will cover in subsequent articles. Today I want to discuss Safelist Marketing.

Safelists are databases of network marketers, who all sign up so that they can email their ads to other network marketers. You can join for Free and remain a free member to use the site, which makes safelist marketing a completely free strategy. You can upgrade your account so that you will not have to read emails but to keep this strategy free, you will need to read the emails of other members.

It is advisable to join credit-based safelists. A credit-based safelist will give the members who read the emails credits for doing so. You can then use those credits to send your ads. The number of members you can mail to will typically depend on the number of credits you’ve accumulated. The advantage of credit-based safelists is that there are many members who are using this as a free strategy to generate network marketing leads so emails do get read.

When setting up your safelist account (and, as with all network marketing sites you should use a free gmail account because of spam filters at other email carriers), you will need to set up a “list” email address. This is the email address that the safelist emails will go to. You will get thousands a day which is why you do not want to use your contact email address!

I recommend utilizing the “manage labels” feature of gmail to separate your emails by safelist. You’ll want to set up a label for each safelist. That way, it’ll be much easier to focus on any given safelist that you are accumulating credits for.

The key to effective safelist marketing is you need to put a major emphasis on your SUBJECT. If your email doesn’t get opened, it can’t get read! The subject must entice the person. I like to use subjects that entice me to open emails. Makes sense, right? If I want to open the email I assume that others do as well. After that, it is imperative that your opening paragraph capture the readers attention. Even if it doesn’t, your splash page or website capture page still has a chance to grab them because that is what the reader will see after they click on the link to claim their credits.

It’s important to track your marketing efforts so that you will know which safelists are responsive — have enough active members who are reading the emails and you are generating leads from them — and which are not. You also need to remain consistent. You need to do this strategy every day, or as often as possible, because safelist marketing is a numbers game like all lead generation strategies.

I use safelists in my marketing efforts to generate network marketing leads for my business. Personally, I do not recommend using this strategy as a stand-alone, but rather as an additional free or low cost strategy in addition to whatever else you are doing. It shouldn’t be ignored because of the low-cost. If you can afford it, I would recommend upgrading your membership in a few safelists so that you don’t need to open emails to be able to mail. This will help you leverage your time to focus on other marketing strategies.
