est mailers

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.

Total October Sign-ups: 63

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.

Total September Sign-ups: 57

The best month I have had all year.  I started promoting a new ad today.  Will that result in better or worse stats next month?  Check back in November to find out!

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.

Total August Sign-ups: 48

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.

July is here!

Welcome back everybody and a big hello to all of the new subscribers.

Last month I announced that I would be changing things up by switching from promoting my Mister Safelist splash pages and going back to promoting lead capture pages for my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics.

I receive a lot of emails from people about safelist marketing and a lot of people want to know why they don’t get the kind of response to their ads that they expected.  Here’s the deal, you’re not going to have much success promoting generic affiliate pages with giant “Buy Now!” buttons.  Those just don’t work.  You need to promote things that people actually want and most importantly you need to build your list.  Once the viewers are on your list and have gotten to know, like, and trust you then you can try telling them about what you have to offer.

The money is in the list!

I had hoped to prove that his month by comparing the results I obtained from splash pages to lead capture pages.  Unfortunately I just got home from a 12-day road trip across the country and I must admit that I didn’t spend nearly as much time submitting my ads and reading emails for credits as I would have liked.  Still, even though I only did a fraction of the work this month the improvement over last month is still obvious.

Let’s take a look at my partial stats from last month…

I regularly submit my ads to about 40 different safelists and viral list mailers.  I am currently promoting lead capture pages that promote my ebook Safelist Marketing Tactics.  The “Sign Ups” below reflect how many people have chosen to opt-in to my list 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.

Total June Sign-Ups: 44

Again, this is probably less than 3 weeks of data but still twice as many sign-ups overall than last month. I have a very good feeling that if I don’t do as much traveling this month we will see much better results next month.

Don’t forget that these stats are the results of my own marketing efforts and are only provided to show what sites are currently working best for me and my ads.  What works best for you might be something entirely different.  The only way to know what will work best for you is to test and track your own ads.  Good luck!
