Growing Your Own Email List Or Using Safelists — That Is The Question

Developing Your Own Email List Or Utilizing Safelists — That Is The Question
           

Numerous people just don’t seem to understand how vital it is to have a mailing list. You can find it on nearly every Internet marketing site on the Internet “The Money Is In The List”. I have been in the IM scene for over 5 years and one question that constantly comes up is “I use safelists, should I be using my own list?”

Here we are going to cover this question and hopefully give you a better idea on how you should operate your email marketing.

Safelists are the first thing we will discuss. A safelist is a group of individuals who agree to get emails from other people in the group. You can usually join without paying fees. Once you join you will be getting emails from other people who are also a member of the web site. Almost all safelists today are credit based lists so you have to click on the credit links in the emails sent to you. At this point, you can trade your credits for mailing other members, and when they receive your email they need to click the credit link to earn credits and they see your web site when they do.

Now, everyone is there to get credits and send their own mailings out, but when it comes to paying for things, nobody is interested. Even though you may make a sale here and there by utilizing these safelists, it is not sufficient to make it worth your while.

Still, safelists have a niche in Internet marketing. Now, if you are interested to have your own list, safelists can help you grow it. You can obtain people’s email addresses by giving stuff away and having people give you their name and email address in order to receive the free item. This way you are building your own list which is much more powerful.

Now, there is one thing you truly should understand if you’re serious about becoming and remaining an Internet marketer and that is You Need Your Own Email List. If you ask anybody who has been an Internet marketer for a long time they will tell you that you can earn approximately $1 each month for every person you have on your own mailing list. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “One dollar, yippy”, but if you think about it this way 100 people equals $100 and 1,000 people equals $1,000 are you beginning to understand how essential it is now?

This is an average because each person on your list is not going to just pay for a $1 product from you each month. The way it is works out is, when you have people on your email list they are more apt to buy from you as long as you offer quality, and you should be able to sell 1 product once a month to every 1 person out of 50 who are on your mailing list. Thus, if you have 50 people on your mailing list and you sell just 1 item worth $50 to a person on your list in a month’s time, that is how you get your average, and when you think about it, it’s not that difficult to do.

The great thing is when it is your email list you can send your emails anytime you wish. You can also grow your list however big you want it to be, where safelists only let you email so many people every 3 to 7 days. There are likewise a lot of different ways that you can begin building your list. You don’t need to just employ safelists. You can add an opt-in form on your blog so people can be updated, then you can email them also and your email list grows. List building is only limited by your imagination, you can grow it anytime. In essence, the sky is the limit when it comes to growing your mailing list.

And so back to the initial question on what type of mailing list must you use, whether you should grow your own or make use of safelists. Once more, safelists are fantastic for helping you build your own email list, but building  your  own list needs  to be  your priority.
