Notice that for 2009 over 57,000 people clicked on the credit links. There is both a regular mailer and by far more mail goes out with the regular mailer. So if 57,000 people clicked on the credit links more than double that clicked on regular links. But the important point is that people cannot click on any links unless they see your ad. People are viewing ads with Topsafelist.net. They also are all BUYERS. They paid for a membership. There is no free option with this safelist.

For me the first job of an advertising service is to get my ad before real buyers. Then it has to do so in a cost effective manner. Well this costs $12. per year. $1. per month. Dirt cheap actually. Obviously you are not going to get rich sending your ads daily to this safelist but for $12. you might get additional members to your newsletter who you can market to over and over again. (They are buyers remember? Have I made this point?) You could make some sales. You could get some people to link back to you. Bottom line your ads are going out, people are seeing them and it costs next to nothing. I think that Topsafelist.net is worth being in your arsenal of advertising tools. Especially if you are on a budget.

I realize this is not the sexiest topic. I could be writing about how I made millions through traffic arbritrage with ppv traffic (working on that.) But people keep joining, keep using and keep viewing ads sent out by this darn safelist. If you want to join Topsafelist.net you may do so here.

If you want us to set you up with your own website SELLING safelist memberships see my site Topsafelistbiz.com. Safelist memberships are easy to sell because everyone is looking for advertising for their business. Many marketers have found their first success online selling safelist memberships. See here to learn more about Topsafelistbiz.com. See here to view a tutorial on how I sold over 6000 safelist memberships. I still sell them almost everyday

In any case good luck and let me know what your experiences have been with safelists, even this one in the past.

I just started this thread on both The Free Ad Forum and on The Warrior Forum. We have received some really interesting comments. The lesson that keeps recurring is that you must be persistent. Some people waited years for their first sale! The first sale you make online is usually the most exciting because it shows you that YOU can market online. It is one thing to listen to how others are being successful but often just experiencing a small success yourself makes all the difference between continuing marketing or giving up.

What was your first sale online? Please tell us. You can join in on the discussion on The Free Ad Forum here. To join the discussion on The Warrior Forum see here. Thank you!

I hope you have been having a great holiday. I sure have. 2010 is almost here so let’s get right to it. Here are 3 great free advertising ideas for your business for 2010:

1. Join The Free Ad Forum and post your ads to over 100,000 members daily. When you post your ads on the Free Ad Forum your ads do not get rotated off. Your ads are permanent and get indexed very quickly by the search engines because they are on our high traffic site.

You can also meet other marketers from all over the world in the introductions area. Make sure you stop by and say hi. More people will probably see your ad in your signature file in the section than in any other section of the forum. See here to start posting your ads on The Free Ad Forum now.

2. Exchange links with 7 of our high traffic sites for free. SEO snobs make fun of link exchanges but daggonit they work! I get tons of traffic by people linking to me. Now you can exchange links with 7 of my high traffic sites for free. These links are permanent and get indexed quickly in the search engines according to your keywords. Check out the video here which proves it!

3. Post your free articles on Articledude.com. This is our article directory. We are getting over 200 submissions of articles per day. Your article will be organized according to the keywords in your article and like the above two services your article will be permanent. You can include links back to your site in the author’s area as well as in the body of the article which most article directories do not allow.

All these services are completely free. They are not trials. Do not touch your wallet!

I hope this helps you kick start your business for 2010!

Any questions or comments let me know in the comments section of the blog here.

Much Success!

Here is the list of Webmaster and Internet Marketing Forums:

I was so impressed with the autoresponder system that I started my own autoresponder service at http://www.realreply.com I managed to get over 12,000 customers. However, over the last few year email marketing has become very tricky. There are spam issues, deliverability issues, legal issues on and on. So I decided to turn my service into a limited free service where I run some ads on top of other people’s message and limit importing and broadcasting.

I have moved all my lists over to Aweber at http://www.aweber.com/order.htm?26304

I have been completely blown away by their service. They analyze each one of my messages to help improve my deliverability. I am able to get 98 percent delivery rates which I absolutely could not duplicate on my own.

Their system is extremely efficient and easy to use. Even though I have my own autoresponder service I put my important newsletters with http://www.aweber.com/order.htm?26304
and let them have the hassles of dealing with server uptime, blacklists, deliverability etc. Even the technically savvy internet marketer is better off delegating their email marketing to a specialized third party these days. If you do not have an autoresponder system get one. If you are serious about getting the best get one at Aweber http://www.aweber.com/order.htm?26304

Keep in mind that I am a former competitor recommending them. Keep following up!
