Should You Build A List Or Are You Able To Only Use All Of The Safe-Lists On The Internet?


by Zenia Woldt


For those who have been in IM scene for any amount of time, you have heard how important it is to maintain a list to email. You can see it on nearly every Internet marketing site on the Internet "The Money Is In The List". I have been in the IM arena for at least 5 years and one question that invariably comes up is "I use safe-lists, should I be using my own list?"

Here we are going to cover this question and hopefully give you a good idea on how you should run your email marketing.

Let's go over safe-lists This is a membership site made up of hundreds or even thousands of other Internet marketers. You can normally join without having to pay any type of monetary fee. Everyone who joins these sites automatically agree to permit other members to send them their emails. For the most part, every email you receive will have something called a credit link that you will need to click on to get credits, this is known as a credit based safe-list At this point, you can trade your credits for sending out mailings to other members, and when they get your email they need to click the credit link to earn credits and they see your website when they do.

Keep in mind that the other safe-list members are like you -- they want to email people and receive traffic but they don't wish to pay for something that another member is telling them about. Don't misunderstand me, it is feasible to generate money with these programs but it will be rare, not enough to make all your time clicking links worth it.

These safe-lists may be utilized for other kinds of marketing which are worthwhile. Now, if you would like to have your own mailing list, safe-lists can help you grow it. You can get people's email addresses by giving stuff away and having people provide you their name and email address in order to get the free item. This is the simplest way to get started building your own email list.

When it comes to building your own email list, if you want to succeed in the long run as an Internet marketer, this is something you should do. Just about any successful Internet marketer will tell you that each person on your own mailing list is worth about $1 a month. So let's suppose over the next year you work hard at developing your mailing list and you get 3,000 people to join, your mailing list is now worth $3,000 a month.

This is an average as everyone on your mailing list is not going to simply buy a $1 product from you every month. What this means is when you email your list with a good subject line and good content in the email marketing a good product, you can expect to make approximately 1 sale for every 50 people on your list every month. This is only an example, but if every sale you close pays you $50, there is your $1 per person every month.

The best thing is when it is your mailing list you can send your emails anytime you want. And unlike safe-lists that limit your mailings and the number of people you can mail to, you can build your list as big as you want and email them whenever you prefer. You can utilize many different strategies to grow your list as well. You don't have to just employ safe-lists You can incorporate an opt-in form on your blog so people can be updated, then you can email them also and your mailing list continues to grow. It doesn't stop there though, you can use any strategy or program you like that can help you grow your list. Basically, the sky is the limit when it comes to growing your mailing list.

Thus, safe-list or your own email list, which one should you focus your time and effort on? You should be utilizing safe-lists but only to the point where it is helping you start your own email list.
