Do Safelists Really Work? My Opt-in Stats After 30 Days Of Safelist Marketing

One of my "five daily habits" is to promote my squeeze page for my free Beginners Crypto Course on three safelists (aka "viral mailers"). I use ViralMailProfits to manage all my safelists in one place and show me which ones I can mail out to on any given day.

I use Leadsleap to create and host my squeeze page and track my stats. I use Leadsleap's Sendsteed autoresponder service to manage my emails and subscribers.

This is the squeeze page that I created on Leadsleap and use to invite people to opt in to my Beginners Crypto Course mailing list:

I promote the squeeze page mainly on safelists. Indeed, I have cut out several other advertising methods to focus almost exclusively on safelist marketing as a way to keep things clean and simple.

Do Safelists Really Work?

But do safelists really work? Can you really build a mailing list just by doing the rounds of a couple of dozen safelists and blasting the same old email ad and squeeze page to their subscribers?

(Yes, I know, I should be split testing emails and squeeze pages, but I'm a lazy devil and like to keep things simple...)

Here's an overview of the stats for the last 30 days:

The stats show that the link to the squeeze page received a total of 6,048 clicks from 4,707 unique sources of which 4,505 were considered "real visits" by the tracker. (Leadsleap defines "real visits" as those that "register at least 1 second of surfing activity."

Of those 4,505 "real visits" 47 people opted in to my list, so just over 1% of visitors hopped aboard my list. :)

The Surfing Duration bar graph shows the "not real visits" in the "0 Sec" column. It seems that most people spend between 5-10 seconds on the squeeze page - about the length of time it takes for them to earn credits from the safelist for visiting the page! However, over 400 people spent more than 10 seconds on the page, so not too shabby a result.

And here's the breakdown that shows where those 47 new subscribers came from:

And the winner is...!

It's good to see my safelist service, EliteDownlineBuilder ("edb") at the top of the list with 5 subscribers and a healthy 7.04% response rate!

I should add that another 5 subscribers came from three of my ViralMailProfits campaigns which are tagged as "viralmailprofits.com", "qm" (Quick Mailer) and "pm" (Power Mailer). However the Power Mailer is an upgraded feature which lets members blast their email across a bunch of safelists in ViralMailProfits owner Marty Petrizza's portfolio. So the subscribers did not come exclusively from VMP!

Three safelists each added four subscribers to my list: Digiproducts, ListJumper, and EuropeanSafelist.

Four safelists each yielded 3 subscribers to my list: LeasedAdSpace, AdExchangeClub, ListSurfing, and YourViralMailer. (NOTE: YourViralMailer also allows me to blast my email to a couple of other safelists in Matthew Graves' portfolio.)

And ONE Subscriber From... CTPTalk!

Those are the most significant results, but I should mention the ONE result on the list that did NOT come from a safelist, and that was ONE subscriber who opted into my list from CTPTalk ("ctpt")!

Thank you, whoever you are!

Conclusion: Yes, Some Safelists DO Work!

So, it would appear that some safelists really do work when it comes to building a list.

And in my case, they work even though my squeeze page offers something that is irrelevant to what we know safelist surfers really want, which is "more traffic"!

Now the next question is... do they take action once they have subscribed and started receiving my emails. I'll save that topic for another day!

Cheers!
