The basic premise behind safelists is that you agree to receive email messages from advertisers and in return you get to send email messages to them. Here is one thing that immediately comes to mind.



I Do Not Like To Read Email.

Email is one of the biggest waste of my time everyday. Right away I will need to look forward to reading email for safelists to work for me. You may feel the same way. So here is how we will get around that.

1. Set up a separate email account with GMail for all Safelist email. This separates it from your normal email. You do that with Google and it is very easy to set up an account with them. Because of spam filter issues you are better off not to use Hotmail or Yahoo for your safelist email marketing account.

2. When joining safelists you will be better off to avoid the ones that have a membership comprised of auto submitter users. You want real people submitting ads to you and you want real people viewing your ads. A good place to start is TrafficHoopla.com. Here are 20 safelists you can join that are working for others.

3. Take the time to skim your emails. Just deleting all of them can hurt you more than help you. To be fair how will you get your emails read if they are deleted in mass. Secondly you can really improve your marketing efforts by watching for catchy ads that you could use for your own emails. Do not copy word for word, but work a similar version around your product or website.

4. Credit based safelists are they way to go because you will get your emails open. It operates along the same line as traffic exchanges when people click on your ad and view it before going to the next ad. You earn credits for reading emails. This is how safelists work. You will get more chances to have your messages read as you build up more credits.

This is 4 things you must do for safelists marketing to work for you. This will take some hard work. It is not a shot in the arm marketing approach, but if done with consistency over a period of time can work to increase the business of any internet marketer.
