Safelist traffic sources that work for me.

Most of us know very well about safelist traffic. I did a quick pros and cons on safelist traffic a few months ago. You can check that out by clicking here. In this post I wanted to discuss a couple of the safelists that I am on and that I use and recommend. These are not in a specific order, just 3 of my favorites right now and keep in mind these are completely free to join.

The first one would have to be mailthislist.

I like this one alot for a couple reasons. Of course it is free to join, and offers upsells on login. mailthislist offers a whole lot for a free member and you can log into the site and click ads to get your credits. They also offer good bonuses when clicking credits like this 10 emails gives a 100 bonus credits, 25 gets 150, 50 gets 250, and 100 gets you a whopping 499! That is on top of the credits for the individual mails. You can post banners and text ads also and the credits work for the mailer and the banners. There is also a ‘track & rotate’ tool. A free account allows 10 trackers, these do come in quite handy. The mailer part of the program is nice in that fact that you can mail as often as you like as long as you have the credits. No waiting between mailings. Also you can see your past mailings and some brief stats, and one click “send again” option. There is also the upgrades, and the ‘login spotlight’ offer (both paid). There are quite a few promo tools for promoting the program and a built in downline builder. Are you ready to check this out and get some free traffic

The second is going to be Mailsy.

Mailsy is a nice one and I wanted to mention it just based on the responsiveness I have seen from my mailings. As a free member you can only mail once every 5 days. The platform also offers text and banners too. Of course there is a referral program and some promo tools are provided. As of this writing there over 4000 members you could be mailing your offer to for free. This one you do need to click emails to get credits, they do not offer a way to do it on website. The mails are simple and very easy to find the credit link. You can get free bonus credits (one time) for reading emails. Also they run monthly contests and have other activity bonuses. Ready to get some free mailsy traffic ?

The 3rd one I want to talk about is TDWSafelist.

This one was just recently introduced to me, but I found it extremely helpful. With TDW you get 20k safelist, 1k website hits, and more just for joining for free. There are a ton of things going on in this site. You can click for credits right from the home page after signing in. The site navigation is right on the top and VERY easy to use and find what you are looking for. They offer banner ads, text ads, member mailer, that are all free plus you can purchase solo ads, header ads, and footer ads. Of course there are other membership upgrades you can purchase but I am focusing mainly on the free benefits at this time. Here is one of my favorite parts of this safelist— Free TDW Safelist Vault Products!!! There are 23 pages! of products/ebooks for you to download. Imagine having this library on so many topics at your fingertips to use to get traffic and conversions. I infact just downloaded a few more products today. Ready to use this robust source?

I hope you enjoyed this article. I do use other safelists to get free traffic, and am always looking to add more to the list to try. If you have one you would like me to check out please feel free to comment and let me know.

Sharing a review.

bizwithelm-poster General Talk, Traffic

I was looking through products I have purchased for something to do a review on yesterday. I completely forgot about a particular product I purchased called “Piggyback Payday”. This a software that works with instagram and helps build up an account and following and send traffic to a product or site. It is a great way to get eyeballs on a dropshipping item for your ecom business. It can also work for affiliate products as well. If you would like to check out my review of Piggyback Payday it is below.

I remember the first time..

bizwithelm-poster General Talk

Hey all, today I just wanted to tell part of my story. I remember the first time I was able to pay a whole bill with the money I made from internet marketing.

It all started in late 2004, I was on a seasonal lay off from my job for a few months and decided to learn something new. I came across a forum, and in that forum they were very, very helpful and that led to another forum (owned by same people) that was specifically for teaching. I joined that forum and the learning started. There were plenty of times when it was slow, and I didn’t see money right away by any means. I did believe in myself and the possibility that I could make money online! I think that is a KEY part of the journey. Fast forward a few months, I have learned some and have acquired some domain names and built some websites. I was getting traffic, using the principles I was taught and was very happy just to see my stats go up. There were times that I got down when I didn’t see sales in the back office of a program. Some of those times made me wander and look at other possibilities some time.

Then I saw it !!! The first sale, the excitement was like Christmas morning when I was little! It was so energizing. Keep in mind it was only a sale, I still had a little ways to go before I could reach the minimum “payout amount” to get the money in my hand. That sale energized me and I looked and poured over stats to see where and how the sale came. I scaled that process up as much as I could at my level of knowledge (pretty low at the time). The sales started trickling in, I started to get the checks in my p.o box. It was exciting but far from life changing. I could buy my cigarettes, gas, maybe pizza for the family but I kept plugging away.

Then it happened! A check came that was right about 252.00, that same day when I checked the mail and opened a couple of bills, I realized that I could pay 1 in full and 90% of the 2nd. That is the first time that making money online led to a small flash of freedom for me. I saw it ! It was and is completely possible ! This may not happen for you over night. That is ok! It will happen if you are consistent.
