The Best Safelists for May 2016

Author: Jerry Iannucci

Welcome to May!

I did something a little different last month.  For the past year I have been using all of my safelist postings to promote squeeze pages for my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics.  Last month I decided go back to just promoting Mister Safelist directly.

As you can see from my stats below the number of sign-ups I received were just about cut in half.  Not a big surprise.  Clearly a unique squeeze page which just asks people for a name and email address is going to be easier to get sign-ups to than asking people to register at yet another safelist.  While I think Mister Safelist is awesome there still isn’t much out there that compares to Safelist Marketing Tactics so it’s much easier to get sign-ups there.

Still, I think 30+ sign-ups in a month to a safelist that launched years ago is pretty good.  I’ll probably keep it up for at least another month before switching back.

As far as new launches go, last month saw the release of List Impact from the Kolijn brothers.  Traffic has been good so far.  If you haven’t joined yet it’s definitely worth checking out.

Here’s the stats…

This month I used all of my safelist credit emails to promote Mister Safelist.  I am rotating a few different splash pages along with the home page of the site.  I use 40-50 different safelists and mailers but only show the top ones below.  There are many safelists out there that I don’t use and I often swap out less effective mailers with other ones.  I do have upgraded memberships at most of these sites and spend a good amount of time clicking emails to earn credits.

Keep in mind that the stats above were the results of my own my own marketing efforts and are provided here to show what is currently working best for me.  What works best for you might be something entirely different.  The only way to know what sites work best for you is to track your own results.  You can get the same link tracker that I use for my ads from trck.me.
