Hi;
Most of the marketing I've been doing for the EZ Wealth Solution
revolves around the Traffic Exchanges. But I do some Safelist
promotions as well.
These are similar to the TE's in that they are Marketing 101 basics
that beginning marketers should know about and use. They are
free (with the option to upgrade) and they are simple, so they are
a perfect fit in our paint by numbers approach to selling the EZ
Wealth Solution.
If you are more of an intermediate or advanced marketer, then you may
very well bypass these simple methods and reach your goals a lot faster,
but the good news is. the EZ Wealth Solution works just fine with such
rudimentary techniques. It takes time and effort, but results are basically
guaranteed if you just don't give up.
Now I tend to favor the Traffic Exchanges because for the work involved,
you end up putting a lot more eyeballs on your offer in the TE's than you
do in the Safelists. But EZWS has a feature that asks every tour taker
how they heard of us, and the fact is, I do get people from my Safelist
marketing efforts, so that's good enough for me.
I should mention that I usually don't track my ads in the TE's because
they all keep track of them for us (and when I have checked them to
make sure they aren't cheating me, there's never been a problem.: But
the Safelists, generally do not offer tracking, so it's important that you
do that.
Luckily, your EZWS membership comes with ad tracking included,
(under PROMOTIONAL TOOLS). It's the traxad.com service. Basically
you create a unique URL that is connected to your referral link for
every ad that you are going to track. Then when someone clicks on
it, a counter is affected, and you will know how many people responded
to your ad.
If you remember Affiliate Funnel which we spoke of as a downline builder
for the Traffic Exchanges, you should know AF also has a page for Safelists.
Affiliate Funnel Safelist Page
You can join each of the Safelists there and enter your referral link.
Then when you give your AF link to your referrals, they will join
under you and you'll get bonus credits as a result.
OK, we've been talking a lot about the subject but we've yet to define it.
A Safelist is a group mailing list in which every member double opts into it,
therefore making it SAFE to send your commercial email, so no one can
complain of spam.
Today, almost all Safelists are CREDIT-BASED. This means you get a certain
number of credits for opening each email. You will be able to mail out to that
number of members. Let's say that List "A" gives you 10 credits per email you
open. You open 50 emails, so you would be able to send your email to
500 members.
In the past, Safelists were not credit based, and it became evident quckly that
nobody was opening the emails. Your only chance was making a great
subject line and hope and pray someone was intrigued enough to open it.
But now, peoole will open it because they want the credits. Intriguing subject
lines are still a good thing, but you'll good a certain amount of your emails
open no matter what you write.
I use 3 main Safelists, but that doesn't mean you should only use 3. Some day
I will upgrade in several and then I'll use more. All Safelists give you a bonus
amount of credits for joining, so you might as well join a ton of them and take
their free credits. Track the results and see which ones give you the best
open rate. (Of course the main result is how many tour takers said they
heard about your EZWS program from that Safelist.)
ListJoe
List Joe is probably the most popular. They have an excellent One Time Offer.
They also have a page that is an extensive downline builder for Safelists, so
by promoting List Jue, you could promote your other Safelists.
I always assumed they have the best results, but my tracking showed that
they are good, but this next one is better. In fact, TWICE as good.
(Your mileage may vary.)
ListAuction
The List Auction outperforms List Joe for me every time. They are very
similar in the amount of credits they give you per opened email. (They both
vary per email, but they probably average in the low teens.)
There is one Safelist that is head and shoulders above the others
when it comes to the sheer number of credits you can get for opening a single
email.
AdTroopers
Adtroopers gives you a mind boggling 150 credits for every email you
open. At least at the time I am writing this, they are offering a special
where you get a junior Pro account for free, and that is the one where
you get the 150 credits per email opened. Most Safelist upgrades do
not offer that no matter what the price is, so this is a great deal, obviously,
for free. They have a top level upgrade that is good for a mind boggling
500 credits per email and 50,000 bonus credits a month. It' costs $25
a month, but they have a limited time offer for a lifetime upgrade for just
$60 and it comes with 80% commissions on any of your referrals. So
if your referral pays $10 a month, you will make $8 a month. Or if someone
buys that $60 plan, you will get $48. And get this, even free members
get paid 50% commissions. This is truly impressive, to put it mildly.
So there you have. Something to get you started in the wonderful
world of Safelist Marketing.
