Some safelists will allow
free members to send every 24 hours, and some won't.
Some even allow free members to send twice a day.
Keep track of how often each safelist will allow you
to send. (This information should have already been
saved in your "My Safelists" file.)
Based on that information,
make up a
schedule of which safelist to send to on which days of
the week.
For example, if Safelist-A allows you to send every
other day (or every two days), you might schedule to
send an ad to that safelist on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday of every week. Bookmark those safelists
in folders you create in your Favorites labeled
Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
Similarly, if
Safelist-B allows you to send every 3 days, you
might schedule to send an ad to that safelist on
Tuesday and Saturday. Bookmark those safelists
in folders you create in your Favorites labeled
Tuesday & Saturday.
Create a Daily folder in your
favorites to bookmark those safelists that allow you
to post daily.
And so on...
For the most benefit, leads, prospects, and
PAYCHECKS, discipline yourself to follow this
schedule daily!
ALERT:
I can't begin
to tell you HOW IMPORTANT it is to your
safelist marketing SUCCESS to create your
own advertising schedule and to follow it
each day!
People tell me all the time that safelist
marketing doesn't work for them, but upon
questioning their safelist advertising
routine, these people admit that they
advertise sporadically at best and only to a
"few" safelists.
PLAIN AND SIMPLE:
If you're not going to commit to a daily
safelist ad posting schedule and follow it
diligently using all the instructions in
this guide, be prepared to FAIL and to become
one of the many others who complain that safelist advertising doesn't work.
How do I know this?
My own advertising results changed
dramatically when I followed the advice just
given.
How To Post Safelist Ads
Learning to navigate each
safelist you're working with is a must.
However, once you learn the basics of one safelist,
you'll find the navigation to all other safelists to be
pretty similar.
Here's a general guideline on
how to post an ad.
At this point, we'll assume
that you've accumulated enough credits to post an ad
to the list members, so you will be sending a
credit-based ad.
Make sure the web page you
are promoting is not a frame breaker and that it can
be successfully shared in safelists -
Click Here to test your link.
Login to the safelist.
Find and click on the Credit
Mailer (or Member Mailer or System Mailer) link or button, usually in the left column.
Paste in a
catchy subject title in the field provided for
it.
Many safelists allow you
to choose to send your ad in text form or a
colorful HTML.
If you are sending a
text ad but a visual editor pops open for
you to insert an HTML ad, simply click the
Send Your Ad In Text
link right above the editor.
This is a visual editor with an example of an ad
using different text fonts and colors.
a. If you want to send
your ad in HTML form, use the visual editor to
easily create it.
b.
Then click the Source
Code button at the top left of the visual
editor.
c.
Highlight the entire code, copy then
paste it into your own notepad or text file
to SAVE directly on your computer. Now
you have the source code to use at your
other safelists too!
Click the Source Code
button again to bring the visual of your ad
back before sending.
d. If you
already have
the source code to your HTML ad, click on
the Source Code button at the top left of
the visual editor, paste in your HTML code,
and then click the Source Code button again
to check that your ad looks okay.
Paste the link or URL that
you want your prospects directed to in the field
provided for that purpose.
If you are given the
choice to save your ad, tick off the little
white box next to the Save button.
Then, next time you
want to post this ad, you'll login to the
safelist and click the Saved Messages link
or button (usually in the left column) to
find and resend it.
Click the Send button.
