A safelist is a closed loop (aka: "double opt in", "opt-in list" or "closed community list") e-mailing list of like minded persons. These people agree to accept email ads from the other safelist members. In return for a chance to send their own email advertising to the group. If one agrees to belong to a e-mailing list it is NOT UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email).
There are also different models of safelists including free, free and paid, free credit based and free credit based with a paid option. Safelist advertising is a free or very low cost way to increase your web traffic and profit.
BASICALLY, when you join a safelist, you agree to let others send you there ads. When you open the emails that they send and click on their link and stay on their websites for a certain length of time (usually about 15 seconds) you earn "credits."
The more credits that you earn, the more emails that YOU can send out. It is a very simple concept. As I said, most work basically the same way. Many will let you putout "text ads" and some will let you use the "credits" that you have built up on Solo Ads.
You WILL need a Separate Email Address for each safelist you join such as a free gmail.com account (which takes about 5 minutes to set up). For example: If you join ABC Safelist, your "LIST Email Address" (that you put in when signing up) could be something like: abcsafe@gmail.com. This is where all the emails that others send you will go to. It's crazy how many people you can reach with this, IT WORKS.
If you find yourself with a very small or non existent ad budget, safelists are a VERY good way to spend your time. All have free or paid options and if you can pay a little to upgrade you will be able to send out A LOT more emails per day, if not the free versions give you a great deal of exposure. Whatever your situation you should be doing this, either way, like I said... it works.
Remember however, You NEED to finish ZNZ One and ZNZ Big Cash with 1.0 credits each BEFORE you start advertising.
