Safelists?

by ethanc
11 replies
Ok so safelists are both good and bad. The good being, you can get your product out there to thousands of people almost instantly. The bad being, no one will buy...(at least from my experience).

So my questions are....do you use safelists? have you ever used safelists? and, what sites actually have safelists with buyers in the list?

    Yes. Some are good. Some aren't.

    You should use the search feature.

    none really; a safelist is a group of people all agreeing to receive each other's offers in order to display theres.

    If your motive is to display your offer and you agree to see others in return, are you going to end up being a buyer? More specifically: have you ever bought another's other from a safelist in which you were promoting your offer?

    If the answer to the above question is "no", then you've pretty well answered your original question.

    every one who join safelists want to blast out their offer so safelist for me have never worked because i had to receive offers from other people who were on there, what is the point selling them a similair product that they are already selling ?

    The funny thing is I was going to ask the same question and was just doing research on safelist lists. lol.. great minds think alike I guess.

    The way I see it is if you don't spend your life promoting to these lists and go through what others are sending to you, you win on both fronts.

    Front #1 - You get your product out there to others and who knows you might get lucky but don't count on getting rich.

    Front #2 - See what others are selling and get ideas for profitable or interesting niches and products that you may want to get into.

    There is both good and bad in everything you do. You just need to do something.

    Dont use safelists to sell. Use them to build your list, promote free 1 field CPAs, etc.

    People who say they don't work just dont know how to make them work.

    The same can be said about the WSO. If you are promoting to warriors who are selling im products why would they buy? Wouldn't the WF be the safest safe list of them all?

    Just a thought.

      No. Not even a close comparison.

    I do not use safelists at all. In my opinion there is only garbage traffic that comes from safelists.

      You could run your WSO in safelits and do pretty good for opt-ins.

        This really depends on the product ethanc.

        You should know that safe lists can just be people that agree to get emails and open them and look at an offer for money.

        The safe means it just won't be reported as SPAM. This is why these safe lists have such an extremely low conversion rate.

        Test for yourself but don't expect anything, i think your money would be better spent on PPC marketing.

    It really depends on what you're promoting, and which sites you use.

    Say you have a squeezepage that gives away a free report on how to test & track the best safelists and send it out to a dozen or sites that you know already work then you will get traffic and leads generated for your business. If your marketing funnel is in place then you'll make money.

    On the other side if you decide to promote the top selling clickbank product and just send a copy & paste advert with the default affiliate link to thousands of "safelists" with no idea which are delivering anything then it's fair to say that you will get no sales and be wasting your time.

    It's like any sort of advertsing, you need to start off from a proven template and then try out your own ideas for your own business.

    Oh, and a good list of current safelists can be found at traffichoopla
