Every banner, advertising site, work from home program and tools that I place on this blog is done to give you the visitor a tremendous amount of resources, information and ideas to assist you as best I can in adding to your online and work from home success. It is my hope that everyone who visits this blog will learn something, find something or add something useful to help others achieve their own success and make the online community a better place to do business, socialize and a more educational and enjoyable process.
One site that comes to mind is http://www.wahm.com/ this stands for work at home moms and is just full of resources, information, forums, knowledgeable women entrepreneurs and just a great place to learn more. You cannot go wrong going to this site and you are going to learn a lot and be sure and participate in their forums.
Another great site is http://www.elance.com this is a site where you can find professionals of all kinds who can do jobs for you that you may want to outsource. Things like help building or setting up your website or advertising campaign, posting classified ads, building you followers on twitter, facebook etc, or search engine optimization. The sky is the limit and since they have professionals from all over the world in many cases you can find professionals who will do the job for you for a very reasonable price.
Another source I will mention today is www.alexa.com/
Let's say you have found a website you are considering advertising with, you can go to alexa and find out how high they are ranked as far as the amount of traffic they are getting. Let's face it if a company is ranked over 100,000 with #1 being the best and you can get the same banner or other advertising done on a site that is ranked below 20,000 for the same price that helps you determine the best bang for your dollar. This is a very useful site that you can gain a lot of information in making important decisions about doing business with certain sites based on their web traffic.
One that I really like is StumbleUpon.com as I have found I receive a lot of traffic from my submissions that I do to this site. You can go there and instal their tool and with one click you can submit your new blog posts, or you can find websites that are of interest to you. Do yourself a favor and go and install the stumbleupon tool and I think you will really like it as you can input the areas that interest you most and those are the sites you will be taken to by this toolbar. It is an excellent way to find the websites that fit your interests you will be amazed what does exist out there in cyberspace.

My Review of safelists, Do they Work? Are they effective? How to use them?
I have tried many different advertising methods and many have not worked, but I have had some success with some and have found a gem or two that work exceptionally well. In later posts I will be reviewing several methods and types so keep checking back and comment and give your opinions and insight by commenting and together we all might learn a few things.
Some of the future topics I will be covering will be search engines and tips and tricks to optimize your online presence. Pay per click advertising and what to avoid and how to find ways to lower the cost of this. Free advertising and what I have found works and doesn't. Article marketing and how to do it to build a greater web presence. Email advertising both paid and free and how to go about this, but I will start with a method I have used many times and still use today as I have had success using this method.
My first review will be safelists in general and for the most part all you will get from a majority of these is a lot of emails in both your contact and your list email box. So when using these never use your primary email address as your list email address there is one very well run safelist that I would make an exception on this and I will explain why on that one.
I have made the above mentioned mistake and you will get absolutely flooded with emails from all the members who post ads on some of them. Their is an exception to this as I mentioned, and I will give you the link to that one where the members are very responsive and the management is very responsible with his safelist where you will want to read and click on every email you get with that particular one because you get sending credits every time you do and the time spent getting those credits with that particular list is well worth your time.
A real plus on this one is the owner has a system where he limits the amount of emails any given member will receive. Most are not managed any where near this well. He has really put a lot of thought and care into how this list is managed.
There are some safelists where you can and should use your primary email address as your contact email with the safelist and I will explain why on this also. For those of you who are not familiar with how safelists work let me explain the difference between Contact and List email addresses.
The Contact email address is the one where only the administrator will contact you and will only send ads that members have paid a premium price for. If the list is well managed these contacts will be minimum and so few that you can manage them very well. You may be asking well why not just sign up for a free address at G-mail or somewhere similar and use that where I never have to see them? The answer to that question is good and bad idea.
The reason it is a bad idea is because those emails the administrator sends you can be very valuable and important and you do not want to miss them. Any ads sent to your contact email address usually give you ten times the credit you normally get from clicking on those ads. So you may want to make sure you get all of them as that is how you are able to send your own ads is based on the sending credits you accumulate.
Most safelists let you mail so many times a week depending on your status. Free members are usually able to mail once sometimes more but usually once. Pro members a couple times and Platinum every day or couple of days. There of course are in between memberships of silver and Gold at most sites that have a bit fewer features and benefits but usually the top one is a Platinum. With the sending credits you get for clicking on the other members emails you can either mail more often, or mail additional members depending on the particular list.
One list I really like but is not my #1 choice is The Free Safelister: My husband joined this as a free member and upgraded to Platinum so I use his on this one. http://www.freesafelistmailer.com/s.php?username=happypappy1958&popup=no
Here is a chart showing what you get at each level for just a normal member email. Please note that if you read a Contact list Solo paid email you get 500 credits for each one as a free member all the way up to 5000 per ad as a platinum member. If you read a paid List solo ad you get 250 credits as a free member all the way up to 2500 as a Platinum, but the following chart shows how many credits you get for each email you read at each level.
Membership Emails Read Credits Earned Per Email
Free----------- 0 - 25------------------50
Free----------- 26 - 100-----------------75
Free-----------Over 100------------------150
Membership Emails Read Credits Earned Per Email
Silver 0 - 25 150
Silver 26 - 100 200
Silver Over 100 300
Membership Emails Read Credits Earned Per Email
Gold 0 - 25 250
Gold 26 - 100 350
Gold Over 100 750
Membership Emails Read Credits Earned Per Email
Platinum 0 - 25 500
Platinum 26 - 100 750
Platinum Over 100 1000
This is a good list and I would highly recommend this. Our best results have been posting in the evening or around 5 to 7 in the morning. If you get a premium membership with this you can use your primary email as your contact and an email you do check often as your list as the ad credits are so big it would be worth the effort. I highly recommend using G-mail accounts as your email addresses as many safelists will not accept Hotmail, Yahoo, aol and the like as they have had too many problems with these email addresses with the emails getting through. The link again is http://www.freesafelistmailer.com/s.php?username=happypappy1958&popup=no
The other safelist that I really like and is my #1 choice and I submit to hundreds by the way is ListJoe http://starturl.com/uvyki as I feel this is the best managed one I have ever found my husband Bruce purchased us a gold account with this one that I have my primary email address on as the list email as it is well worth the time to go through and read and click the emails.
The list has a lot of members but the most anyone can send at one time is to 10,000 members and that is a paid ad. Gold members can only mail every 3 days and only to 3000 random members plus whatever credits you have accumulated. For example if you have 500 credits you can mail to 3500 every 3 days and so forth. Free members can mail once per week but the credits for each email read are the same as a Gold I do believe. Gold is the highest level of membership on this list as of this writing.
Now with this list they are very sensitive to keeping emails down to all of their membership so all members only earn between 5 and 20 credits per email read and I have found the majority of your credits fall on the lower end. But that is a great feature of this as it keeps the members on the list responsive to your email ads and that is a big plus. URL again is: http://starturl.com/uvyki
Once again as with a lot of things that one I am signed up under my husband Bruce's name as is the case with most of the safelists and other places we do advertising as he is very valuable to me in intially finding and researching good places for me to advertise my business opportunities and setting them up for me. If you have any questions you can post them here and I welcome your thoughts and reviews of your favorite safelists or advertising sites. Or contact me at tamidon2@hotmail.com
