you need inspiration or information - ONE STOP
will nurture you at your own speed. I came for
the innovation and stayed for the variety. I never
doubt the warmth that I originally took for granted.

helpful, professional, and available if you have any questions

What
is the best way to use safelists? Marketers who believe safelists are
still an effective way to reach prospects generally agree on several points:
- Bigger is not
necessarily better. Safelist members who receive a huge amount of mail
are far less likely to look at messages before they delete them.
- Pro membership
has a great advantage over free membership. Pro members usually get
to send ads everyday, they can send html ads and they do not generally
get mail from free members. Many lists also offer additional perks to
encourage pro membership, like extra sign up credits or a link on their
pro member page for example.
- Subscribing to
new safelists that are offering free pro memberships in order to build
their membership is the most cost effective way to use safelists and
it insures that you won't be overwhelmed with mail, at least not until
the lists grow.
With
this in mind, I think you will be interested to know that if you search
at Yahoo for "limited time free pro membership safelist" (do not include
the quotes) you will find more new safelists offering free pro memberships
than you would have believed possible.
Don't
go crazy! Mail from 20 small lists can be just as bad as if
you were subscribed to a really large list. I suggest you sign up for
one a day; see how much mail and how much of a response you get from each.
Test
you results. As always, I urge you to track your advertising
results. If you are not getting any clicks from your safelist ad no matter
which list you use, change your ad and try again. If you get less of a
response from one list than you do from all of the others, consider replacing
it.
Remember,
of course, that list size must be factored into your response rate; 10
clicks from a list of 100 people (10%) is better than 20 clicks from a
list of 2000 (1%).
