SafeLists, Announcement Lists & Ad Forums

**A Safelist is an email list where it is "safe" to advertise without getting accused of SPAM. Imagine, 1000 or more people, who all agree to let you advertise to them. They may also be called Announcement Lists, Ad Groups, or Ad Forums. **

So what's the catch?

Everyone is talking, but nobody is listening! Every single person on that list is there for the same reason you are - to ADVERTISE! They are NOT there to READ. In fact, many people on safelists just blast their ads every day, while they use a separate email account to collect the emails from the list, which they delete without ever reading.

Are you on the list to see what other people are marketing? Neither is anyone else. There are far more effective uses of your time besides just blasting ads into oblivion.

If you want to market using email, then advertise in a credible eZine that targets your market. It will go to people that are actually interested in what you have to offer. Sure, it will cost you something to do, but what good is a free marketing method that wastes your time?

If you need a free method, then write articles and submit them to article directories. It will get you a lot further than blasting ads to a safelist where nobody gives a rip about what you are selling.
