The Best Safelists for December 2021

Author: Jerry Iannucci

Hello again!

As we approach the end of 2021 it is more important than ever to continue driving targeted web traffic to your offers and safelists continue to be a great way to do that.

I’m pretty old school so as we move into 2022 I would like to ask… what are some other great free sources of traffic that you are using to build your list? Let me know in the comments below!

Now for my stats…

During November I decided to dust off a “make money” squeeze page that I have been using to build my list in the “work at home” niche. My stats are generated from using only the credit mailers of these safelists and do not include login ads or banners ads or anything like that. I am upgraded at many of these sites and try to spend time every day reading emails to earn credits. I currently submit to 40-50 different safelists. I don’t use every safelist out there and I am constantly updating that list based on my advertising results. I do not include my own Mister Safelist here as I prefer to let other reviewers take care of that. I provide these stats only to show what is currently working best for me. Your results may vary.

Name Hits Signups
European Safelist 3224 4
State of the Art Mailer 1738 4
List Mailer Plus 772 3
Leads N Profits 518 3
Viral URL 170 3
TezzerMail 402 3

Total November Sign-ups: 39

It was not a great month for me but I have also been taking more time off lately to spend time with my family.  Please note that the stats above are provided only to show what is 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 ads.  I recommend using HitsConnect to handle all of your link tracking needs.

The Best Safelists for April 2020

Author: Jerry Iannucci

Welcome to April.

Boy, a lot sure can happen in a month.  With the Coronavirus bearing down hard on the whole world I hope everyone reading this is staying home and staying safe.

It probably goes without saying that the long-term effects of this virus on the global economy are going to be bigger than anyone ever imagined.  What this means for our business is still hard to say.  I think as more people get laid off from their jobs and others just choose to work from home we are going to see a massive influx of people looking for ways to make money online.  It’s not going to happen over night but I think by the end of the summer we will start seeing a lot more people coming into our marketplace.

In short, now is definitely the time to start getting our businesses ready for all of the new people who are going to be looking for ways to make money working from home.

Now let’s get to the safelists.  No major launches last month to report but I have some interesting stats for you below.

The stats below are the top results from my marketing efforts in March.  I currently use 40-50 different mailers every day (or as often as I can) and I am currently promoting a simple lead capture page that I am using to build my list. The “Signups” below show how many people have subscribed to my list and verified their email address.  I do have an upgraded membership at most of the mailers I use which often allows me to send my ads more often to more members.  However, I do spend a lot of time every month reading emails to earn enough credits to send my ads.

Hits Unique Signups Ratio
European Safelist 5874 52.00% 7 0.12%
Traffic Leads 2 Income 2062 29.00% 4 0.19%
Viral URL 122 77.00% 4 3.28%
List Nerds 713 67.00% 2 0.28%
The Lead Magnet 279 56.00% 2 0.72%

Total March Sign-ups: 34

Last month I mentioned that my ad was probably getting a little stale as I had been running it for several months and my stats kept going down.  Rather than start from scratch I wanted to see how much of an effect my safelist email would have on getting new sign-ups.  So, I kept the same landing page but wrote a new email with a new subject.  With just this one change I went from 24 sign-ups in February to 34 sign-ups in March.  That’s a pretty big boost considering my landing page stayed exactly the same.  For April I am going to take it a step further and try rotating different subject lines at each safelist to see if the variety attracts more attention.

Will it work?  Check back next month to find out!

Happy March!

Life moves pretty fast.  If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

February was a rather slow month for me but we did have one brand new mailer lunch that has been getting a lot of attention.  That is “Results Mailer” from Greg Hickman.  What makes Results Mailer unique is that there are no upgrades to buy!  All members use the site completely free which puts everyone on equal footing.

I was skeptical of this model at first but I am still seeing Results Mailer being promoted everywhere and my CTR for emails there have been close to 10%.  I’m curious to see how this will work out long-term but for now I think Results Mailer is worth joining.

Below you will find my personal safelist marketing stats from February 2020.  I regularly submit my ads to about 40 different safelists and viral list mailers.  I am currently promoting a lead capture page that I use to build my email list.  The “Sign Ups” below reflect how many people have subscribed to my list through my advertised link and verified their email address.  I do have upgraded memberships at a lot of these sites which allow to me to send my ads more often but I do still spend a lot of time reading emails to earn enough credits to send my ads.  I don’t use every mailer out there but I do often cycle out less responsive lists to try new ones.

Leads N Profits 960 48.00% 2 0.21%
Trend Mails 2206 32.00% 2 0.09%

Total February Sign-ups: 24

Not a very good month for me at all.  In fact I received half as many sign-ups as January.  I believe the reason for this is because I have been using the exact same ad two months in a row and it is simply getting stale.  This month I am going to continue running the same capture page but change up my list subjects and emails to see if that helps.  If not I will switch to something completely new for April.

Remember, keep those ads fresh!

The Best Safelists for February 2020

Author: Jerry Iannucci

Welcome to February!

I’ve got a couple of new launches to announce and a whole bunch of stats to share with you so let’s get started…

First up is probably the biggest surprise I have seen in awhile as it is more of an unexpected re-launch.  That’s right.  Like a phoenix with thick glasses rising from the ashes comes List Nerds!  This was a hot site a few years ago but died off when TimTech went under.  It’s back now under the Click, Track Profit banner with a new design and some cool new features.  Check out the new auto send feature that let’s you schedule 7 weekly emails to be automatically sent for you every day of the week.  Join List Nerds Here!

Next is World Traffic Mailer which is so new I haven’t even tried it yet.  I just joined it an hour ago because I have been seeing Steve Ayling promoting it everywhere.  Steve is an owner that I know, like, and trust so this was an easy sell for me.  World Traffic Mailer features a unique “Referral Build’em” module which will automatically promote your referral link when you click at least 25 emails.  Who doesn’t want free referrals?  This one is for sure worth checking out.

That’s all for the new launches, now let’s move on to the stats…

As usual the stats below came from the 40 or so safelists and viral list mailers that I use almost every day to promote my sites.  For the month of January I switched back to promoting a unique squeeze page that I had been promoting a few months ago which was starting to go stale.  I wanted to see if taking a few months off would help to revive it.  The “Signups” listed below are the number of people who subscribed to my mailing list through the page I am promoting and verified their email address.  While there are many other safelists out there these are the ones I use.  These stats show only the number of new members received by using the “credit mailer” and do not include and banner or login ads.  I also like to point out that I am upgraded at most of these sites and spend a lot of time reading emails to earn enough credits to send my ads.  My own Mister Safelist does not appear on this list but it should always be assumed that Mister Safelist is awesome.

European Safelist 5422 53.00% 6 0.11%
State of the Art Mailer 2522 61.00% 5 0.16%
Adchiever 464 59.00% 4 0.86%

Banner Blitz Mailer 880 45.00% 2 0.23%
List Nerds 334 54.00% 2 0.60%

Total January Sign-ups: 46

As usual European Safelist tops the list of the most effective mailers I use.  If you haven’t joined this one yet I don’t know what you are waiting for.

Don’t forget that the stats above are provided only to show which mailers are currently working best for me at this time.  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 ads.

Happy New Year!

Well, we made it to 2020.  It’s safe to say that the last decade was quite spectacular in regards to safelist marketing.  We saw lots of new innovations in the way mailers have let us advertise our sites.  Some great launches and more than a few set backs too.  As we go forward I continue to be most optimistic about the potential for this industry and all of the good things yet to come from it.

Now let’s get to some stats…

I took a bit of a step backwards last month.  I had been advertising a new lead capture page in safelists that was converting quite well at first but began slowing down after it’s second month.  I decided to give the page the month of December off and go back to promoting splash pages for my own Mister Safelist.  Splash pages almost never convert as well as a good lead capture page so naturally there was a drop in sign-ups compared to previous months.  I am going to go back to promoting the lead capture page again this month and see if the stats have improved over last time since hopefully it will appear fresh to new members and those who haven’t seen it.

During the month of December I used my daily safelist mailings to promote splash pages for Mister Safelist.  My stats are generated from using only the credit mailers and do not include login ads or banners ads or anything like that.  I am upgraded at most of these sites and do spend time every day reading emails to earn credits.  I currently submit to 40-50 different safelists.  I don’t use every safelist out there and I am constantly updating that list based on my advertising results.  I do not include my own Mister Safelist here as I prefer to let other reviewers take care of that.  I provide these stats only to show what is currently working best for me.  Your results may vary.

Happy December and Happy Monday!

I’m going to keep it quick this month as I am still trying to get caught up from a long holiday weekend.

Every month I share the stats I obtained from my previous month of safelist advertising.  I use safelists almost every day throughout the month to send email ads promoting various pages I am promoting.

Last month I used all of my traffic to promote a lead capture page giving away a free ebook called “No More 9-5“.  The stats below reflect the number of people who saw my page and subscribed to my list.  I used about 40 different safelists throughout the month to send my ads.  While I do have upgraded memberships at most of the safelists I use I still spend a lot of time clicking credit links to send my ads to more people.  These stats were obtained using only the standard credit mailer and do not include banner ads, login ads, etc.

Total November Sign-ups: 39

Big drop from last month.  I think a lot of that is caused by promoting the same page two months in a row.  It pays to keep things fresh so I am going to back to promoting Mister Safelist for the rest of this month.  I’ll pull this ad back out in January and see if taking a month off will make it appear new again.

Thank you for checking out my blog.  If you have any questions or just like what you see here please leave a comment below.

Happy November!

So another month is in the books.  I just want to thank everyone for being an active reader here and for being an active member of the safelist community.  I’ve got lots of stuff to report this month including a bunch of a new mailer launches and a big change to what I have been promoting.  Let’s get to it…

A few big launches to report this month.  The first, and probably the biggest, is from long time owner Greg Hickman who last week launched Banner Blitz Mailer.  BBM offers a unique feature that rewards active members with lots of free banner advertisements.  Because of Greg’s history in the mailer industry his new site is currently getting a lot of attention from a lot other owners.  After a week the current membership sits at 528 members.

Next up is a new program from Pro Trend Marketing called Synergy Mails.   The owners of this one decided to skip usually JV marketing blitz and let the members build the site themselves.  That means the site is growing a little slower than normal but I love the nice clean design and Pro Trend Marketing’s other sites have always worked great for me.  After 3 weeks the current membership is at 371 members.

 Last but not least is a new mailer from owners Elizabeta Kuzevska and Albie Derbyshire called AE Mailer.  This one also launched about 3 weeks ago but it is growing fast.  It offers instant commissions and is currently at 714 members.  If you are looking for something different this is definitely one to check out.

 That’s it for the new launches.  Now, let’s get to my monthly stats…

I felt like my ads were starting to get a little stale so I decided to mix things up a bit last month.  I basically started from scratch with a new list, a new offer, a new squeeze page, and a new email ad.  The results definitely paid off and I think proved that while there are still a lot of new people joining safelists every month it’s still a good idea to keep your ads fresh if you want to keep attracting new people.  I am thinking I will do another blog post later this month detailing how I created this new list but for now let’s just focus on the stats.

As usual I promote my ads to about 40 different safelists every month.  I do have a lot of upgraded memberships but I still spend a lot of time clicking every day to try and send my ads to as many people as possible as often as possible.  If you want to see a sample of the page I am currently promoting in safelists you can click here. The “Sign Ups” below reflect how many people have confirmed their email address after opting in to my list.  The sign-ups only come from email ads and do not include banners or login ads.

That’s all for now.  Check back in a few weeks and hopefully I will have some detailed info for you about exactly how I achieved these stats.  Until then don’t forget that the stats I share here on this page are only provided to show what mailers are currently working best for me.  What works best for you and your ads might be something entirely different.  The only way to know for sure is to track your owns ads!

Here we go again!

I was hoping things would pick up at the end of the summer. While I haven’t crunched all of the numbers yet it sure looks like things have. Conversions are up as well as activity around all of my websites. I hope everyone is keeping busy and taking advantage of this like I am.

No major news to report in the industry. Personally I have been working on setting up a new email list which I started promoting today. It should be interesting to see how promoting something new will affect my stats for next month. As far as this month goes there has been some pretty big shifts in the top sites so let’s get right to it.

The stats you see below are gathered from the 30-40 different safelists and mailers that I use to promote my ads every month. I am currently promoting a few rotating lead capture pages for my book Safelist Marketing Tactics. While I do have upgraded memberships at many of these safelists I also spend a lot of time every month reading ads to earn enough credits to send my own emails as often as possible. The stats below were acquired using only the credit mailers on the safelists and do not include sign-ups from banner ads or login ads. The “sign-ups” represent the number of people who have subscribed to my list and verified their email address. These stats are provided only to show what is currently working best for me and my ads. Your results my vary.

September is here!

I love this time of year.  I don’t know what it is about September but it seems like everyone who was taking it easy in the summer starts to get serious about their business around this time.  I know it’s true for me.  No more vacations or lazy days by the pool.  It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!

Last month I mentioned that Frank Salinas has a brand new mailer in pre-launch called Leads N Profits.  The site hasn’t hit 5,000 members yet but the traffic is good.  If you check my stats below from last month you can see how well it is converting.  Definitely take a look at this one and consider grabbing the upgraded membership to really take advantage of everything Frank is offering.

Let’s get to our end of summer stats…

If this is your first time here you should know that I regularly submit my ads to 40-50 different safelists and viral list builders.  I am currently squeeze pages for my free ebook called “Safelist Marketing Tactics“.  The “Sign Ups” below reflect how many people have confirmed their email address after opting in.  The sign-ups only come from email ads and do not include banners or login ads.  I do have upgraded memberships at a lot of these sites which allow to me to send my ads more often but I do still spend a lot of time reading emails to earn enough credits to send my ads.  I don’t use every mailer out there but I do often cycle out less responsive lists to try new ones.

Good month.  About the same as last.  I am thinking about mixing things up with a new squeeze page this month.  I was hoping to have it done by today but it still needs a few more tweaks.  Hopefully promoting something different will make my ads stand out more.  We’ll see what kind of effect that has next month.

The Best Safelists for August 2019

Author: Jerry Iannucci

Welcome to August!

The dreaded “summer slow down” is supposedly in full effect but that isn’t going to stop us from getting out there every day and building our online businesses like there is no tomorrow.  Right?

Before we get to the stats I have a few bits of news to share with you.

Frank Salinas has a brand new mailer that is currently in “pre-launch” called Leads N Profits.  Frank has been in the home-based business industry since 2005 and his sites have never failed to produce fresh new leads for me.  His new site is currently in pre-launch so there are not a lot of members yet but the few test mailings I have sent have already brought me more subscribers last month than most of the already established mailers.  Definitely check out Leads N Profits when you get a chance.

The final thing I want to announce is that Click, Track, Profit is back!  Ok, CTP may not actually be a mailer but Mister Safelist can trace a lot of it’s success (and even it’s name) back to the time I spent working with Jon Olson many years ago.  The new CTP is jam packed with all new training videos that will get you started on the right track towards building a solid foundation for you to build your business on.  If you are new to online advertising or affiliate marketing CTP is my top suggestion for where to start.

And now to the stats…

Every day (or as often as I can) I submit my ads to 40+ safelists using as many credits as I can to reach as many members as I can.  I am currently promoting lead capture pages promoting my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics.  I do have upgraded memberships at many of these sites and still spend a lot of time reading emails to earn credits.  I don’t belong to every safelist out there but do occasionally replace inactive safelists with newer ones.  The stats below were achieved using only the credit mailers on the safelists and do not include sign-ups from banner ads or login ads.  The “signups” represent the number of people who have filled out the opt-in form on my page and verified their email address.  My own Mister Safelist does not appear on this list (I test other things there) but if it were it would probably be near the top ;)

This is my second full month back to promoting lead capture pages instead of the splash pages I was promoting for Mister Safelist.  I did a bit more traveling last month where I didn’t always have Internet access but overall I think my results were decent and show that consistent safelist marketing can still be an effective way to generate leads online.
