Email Marketing - Do Safelists Work?

If you are reading this article then there probably is a
good chance that you have just started building your email
list or you may be building it for some time. I have been
trying different methods of advertising to see which ones
work the best.

One of the reasons that I started using safelists is that I
finished the ebook Carbon Copy Marketing by Mike Filsaime.
In the ebook he tells his amazing story of how he built his
business using safelists. He was guy in charge of marketing
and advertising for a very big car company. So in a sense
he had an advantage compared to most people because he was
already good at sales and marketing. He only needed to
apply it to the internet medium.

Now what really is interesting is that he did not have time
for complicated search engine tactics so he only marketed
his business through email advertising namely safelists. He
does admit that he got burnt a few times when his account
was nearly closed for spamming - this was because he was
doing bulk emailing without permission before he discovered
safelists.

One of the services he recommends is Ipostads. I registered
for this and was really disappointed in the results. It
submits to approximately 3000 safelists containing millions
of email addresses. Unfortunately very few people actually
read the adverts as their email accounts are filled with
spam. My recommendation is that you are better off spending
your money on a solo ad in a targeted ezine.

I have experienced some decent results in the credit based
safelists so I will continue to advertise in these.
