Safelists and credit-based lists such as ListJoe and SOTAM have been one of my primary methods of advertising. These lists are great because they let you reach a targeted audience of Internet marketers. Safelists can definitely help you get traffic if you join responsive ones and consistently send out your ads. With the help of safelists and credit-based lists, I was able to win 1st place in the April referral contest for for the funded marketing system Second Income Coach.
Logging into one safelist website, viewing other ads, and filling in the form to send your ad out probably doesn’t take too much time. However, when you start joining multiple safelists, you’ll notice that it takes more time to manage. You’ll have to manually login to each web-based safelist you’ve joined to post your ad. And you’ll have to keep track of when you can submit to safelists. Depending on the safelist, you could be submitting weekly, every few days, or even every day. On top of that, safelists do not use the same first name personalization tag, so you have to make sure you always have the right tag in your email text.
I’ve found a program called Traffic Zipper that helps me manage safelists and save time submitting ads. It’s a safelist submitter designed to save you time by letting you send your ad to multiple safelists with the click of a button. There is no software to host on your computer and the interface is easy to use. Traffic Zipper has over 20 pre-determined responsive safelists (or list builders) that you can manage.
Once you join this submitter, all you have to do is give your login information for each safelist you want to use. Once you have your list builders saved, then all you need to do is create your ads with catchy subject lines and compelling copy. Save your ad and you should be good to go.
Here’s the part that helps you manage when you can send to your safelists: Traffic Zipper can check the mailing status on all of the list builders you’ve defined and let you know when you can submit to each one. After you’ve checked the mailing status, simply specify the safelists you wish to post to, submit, and sit back! I’ve tested it out, and it’s definitely faster than taking the time to login to each safelist to post your ad.
The other great thing is that Traffic Zipper tracks your click-through rates for each safelist. So you can know how your ad is working out and how different groups of people are responding to your ad.
If you post to multiple safelists regularly, I recommend you get this to save time.
Hello,
I’m looking for a safelist submitter. I found your blog. I like Trappic Zipper. One thing I don’t understand. I signed up for several free safelist and to get email credits I have to open about 600 e-mails every day, watch them for 10, 20 or 30 seconds. This is almost impossible after a fulltime job. What happens with Trappic Zipper? Do I still have to open all e-mails to get credits?
Sorry if my English is poor, as I’m living in Belgium, I don’t speak often English.
I’m curious about your answer.
Thanks, Katrien
Hi Katrien,
With Traffic Zipper you still have to open emails to get credits from free safelists. Traffic Zipper helps you speed up the process of sending an email to multiple safelists.
