Welcome to September!

Another month down and a whole new month of stats to share for the best safelists and viral list builders out there today.

The big news from last month was the re-release of List Surfing.  This site definitely got a lot of attention and with good reason.  List Surfing does an amazing job of blending the best elements of a traffic exchange with a safelist to create a unique advertising environment.  Best of all List Surfing has brought social marketing into the safelist arena which is something this industry has been very much lacking.

If you missed it I did a video review of List Surfing that you can watch here:

Not too much else to report.  I did test a few older safelists that I had joined years ago but quit because they weren’t producing good results.  The results from last month weren’t good enough to put them in the top 15 so I won’t bother mentioning them.  Needless to say if you have any good safelists or viral list builders that you recommend which you don’t think I am member of please send them my way.

On to the stats…

Here’s how it works.  I promote a series of squeeze pages for my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics on 30-40 different safelists and viral list builders.  I use a tracking service to tell me how many hits I receive from each site as well as how many new subscribers I received.  I do have upgraded memberships on most of these sites which often allow me to send my ads to more members and more often.  I also spend time every day clicking emails for credits which allow me to send my ads to the maximum number of people as often as possible.  Your results may vary.

Total August sign-ups from all mailers (including those not listed here): 166

Not a bad month.  Pretty cool to see an old school safelist like AdsolutionLine topping the list.   Makes me wish I earned commissions there but it’s a totally free safelist.  So if you’re not a member, that’s definitely one you will want to join.

Everything else looks about right.  A nice mix of safelists and viral list builders.  It’s not too hard to see from looking at this list which are the best sites to be advertising on this month.

I should mention that List Surfing is a little bit lower on the list than I would have expected.  That’s because the mailer credits are earned by surfing in the traffic exchange side of the site.  Unfortunately I haven’t had enough time to earn enough credits to reach the maximum number of members for every mailing.  That makes it a little harder to compare to the other sites.  I will say that the branding and the social aspect of List Surfing puts it a little bit ahead of the competition but that is something which is kinda hard to measure with these kinds of stats.

That’s it for this month.  Don’t forget that these are my own personal stats based on my own efforts.  Your results may differ from mine.  These stats are provided to give you a starting point for new safelists and viral list builders to try.  The only way to determine which sites work best for you is to track your own stats.  You can get the same link tracker that I use for free from TE Toolbox.

Happy first day of June!

I know I usually share my safelist and viral list builder stats on the 1st of the month but I am putting that on hold until tomorrow.

Why?

Today I am helping Sean Supplee get the word out about his brand new viral list builder that is launching…

… right NOW!

You can check it out here:

It’s been awhile since I have been this pumped up over a new VLB.  Sean did an excellent job with the design and from what I have seen under the hood this baby is going to be hot!

(so to speak)

If you are looking to put your ads in front of some VERY active members today…

This past weekend I had the opportunity to sit down and read a new ebook that is getting released today from Sean Supplee called “Take Action List Building“.

Take Action List Building does a great job of explaining the entire process of building a list including how to setup your autoresponder, how to make a squeeze page, how to get traffic to your page, and how to write follow-up  emails that make you money.

It’s a quick and easy read but this book is jam packed full of useful resources and  helpful tips!

Sean even added some really nice bonuses to the site including some  personalized squeeze pages and a 5-day email series that you can load right into your autoresponder.

And best of all… Take Action List Building is free!

btw, if you are a TE user you are going to totally flip out when you see the offer Sean has put together for his new members.  Make sure you don’t miss it when you login because it’s the only time you’re ever gonna see it.

Hooray!

I’m about a month late but yesterday I finally released my new ebook/website called JV Giveaway Tactics.  You can check it out here:

http://www.GiveawayTactics.com

The book shows people how they can build their list bigger, faster, and easier using JV giveaway events.

I started using giveaway events about a year ago to build my list and was shocked at how well they worked.  Before this I had heard about giveaway events but never understood how they worked.  It turns out that giveaway events are actually pretty simple but here are a lot of little things that need to be done ahead of time to really get the most benefits from them.

Since most of the really big  jv giveaway events are scheduled around major holidays I figured this would be the perfect time of the year to release a book like this.  There is even a calendar inside the website that alerts members to all the great new giveaway events that are coming up.

The JV Giveaway Tactics site launch went eerily smooth.  Its been about 15 hours since it launched and so far there are 298 members.  Not bad for a free ebook.  I gotta give a big shout-out to Jerry Reeder for helping me out with my sales page copy until 4:00 am the night before.  Thanks Jerry!

I woke up at 9:00 am to make some last minute changes and opened the doors to the site at 10:00 am.  A few hours later I did what any new business owner would do at his first day on the job… I took a nap.  Lol.  Yep, I slept good too knowing that my system was all in place and everything was running smoothly.  In fact, I still have not received one support email (well, there was one but it was spam so at least I know the support room works).

Word of mouth has been good and my members are making money so I would say this launch has been a success.  This gives me a little more confidence as I go into my next project which is going to be bigger and badder than anything I have done so far.  Stay tuned!
