Establishing Your Own List Or Using Safe-lists -- That Is The Real Question

By Jarad Gibbs


Numerous people just don't seem to understand how important it is to have a list of people to email. Having a mailing list to send your offers to everyday or even every couple of days can make or break your Internet business. I have been asked time and again if people can just use safe-lists and other list building programs or if they should build their own mailing lists.

I am going to go a bit deeper in this article on how email marketing needs to be carried out.

We are going to start off taking a deeper look at safe-lists This is a membership web site made up of hundreds or even thousands of people who are into Internet marketing. How it works is you can normally join free of charge or for a fee. When you sign up, you agree to receive emails from other Internet marketers in the list. Most safe-lists will include a link in the email that you have to click in order to earn credits. These credits can then be utilized to email your offers to other members.

Bear in mind that the other members of the safe-list are the same as 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. In all honesty, you can make money selling products on safe-lists, but you're not going to make a living selling on safe-lists.

But then, there is a way to utilize safe-lists that is worth your time. Now, if you would like to have your own mailing list, safe-lists can help you develop it. Essentially, all you need to do is to bribe people with something of value that you give to them free of charge and they give you their email address. This way you are building your own mailing list which is much more desirable.

Which brings us to the question "Do I need my own email list?" Yes you do, at least if you want to succeed. Just about any thriving Internet marketer will tell you that each person on your own email list is worth about $1 a month. Now, I know what you're thinking, "One dollar, yeah right", but if you think about it this way 100 people equals $100 and 1,000 people equals $1,000 are you beginning to see how important it is now?

This is an average since everyone on your list is not going to simply pay for a $1 product from you every month. What this means is when you email your mailing 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. So, if you have 50 people on your email list and you sell just 1 item worth $50 to someone on your email list in a month's time, that is how you get your average, and when you think about it, it's not that tough to do.

Another thing about maintaining your own email list instead of utilizing a safe-list is you can send out your offers anytime you wish. You can also develop your mailing list however big you prefer it to be, where safe-lists simply let you email so many people every 3 to 7 days. There are also a lot of different ways that you can begin building your mailing list. Safe-lists are just one way to help you get going. You can start a blog and have people sign up to your mailing list to be updated when you make a new post. List building is only limited by your imagination, you can grow it anywhere. The point is it is endless.

And so back to the original question on what type of list must you use, whether you should grow your own or make use of safe-lists And the answer is both, utilize safe-lists to start growing your own email list.
