Acquiring Exclusive Fresh Free Leads from Safelists

Acquiring Exclusive Fresh Free Leads from Safelists
Many marketers generate their own leads. This is
accomplished through several different methods. One of the
most effective of these is the use of safe lists.

A safe list is a list of people who have agreed to receive
ads in return for the right to send their own ads. SPAM is
not an issue because all the receivers have opted in and
agreed to receive those ads. This is a powerful lead
generation tool when used properly.

Safe lists are abundant all across the Internet. You can
find them easily on Google, Yahoo or your own favorite
search utility. Many times there are entire communities of
lists so you can join multiple lists on one site. This is
very helpful top say the least.

Just about all safe lists have membership level options.
These are usually broken up into free, monthly/yearly and
executive levels. Let's look at each level separately.

Free membership. This option is usually very limited as far
as access and ability. Free members may not be able to use
HTML ads or save ads for future mailings. This can be a
stickler if you rely on HTML graphics like banners or
buttons to appeal to the readers. Mailings are normally
limited to once a week and can only be sent to other free
members. This can put a crimp on your campaign.

Paid membership (monthly or annually). This is the next
level of safe list membership. These members are given the
ability to use some HTML and save ads for future mailings.
Their mailings can be made probably twice a week to the
free membership and the other paid members.

Executive membership. Executive members have access to all
the benefits of the list. They can freely use HTML, save
ads and possibly a few other perks that make the executive
level attractive. These members can send their ads once a
day to the entire membership. All members, free, paid and
executive receive these ads. Marketers that have an
executive membership are pretty serious about their
business and can be fairly responsive.

A safe list can be a major source of generated leads. Since
you are using a funded proposal, you have something to
offer. This will appeal to the executive membership
especially. The important thing here is to grab the
attention at the subject line. Use an eye catching line
right off and get the reader to open the ad.

Once you have the attention, put your opt-in form inside
the ad to capture the information. Here is where a safe
list is especially powerful. Since your prospect already
knows you are a marketer, they expect a pitch. They also
know what it is you are offering, so the lead you gather is
targeted and specific. This gives you a straight line to a
conversion IF you can capture the imagination and interest
immediately.

A couple of things to remember are to keep your lines at 60
characters each and be concise in your language. Get to the
point while holding the interest and move the lead along to
clicking your link. They're already here so they are
interested, right? Move them along swiftly yet gently and
you will have a strong lead that can be stroked for many
mailings to come.
