I got my 5 Ash Max Signups - Here is how I did it

This is my beginners guide to safelist advertising...

First comes the disclaimer :) This is not a Be All, End All guide by any means. This isn't "guaranteed" either. I had success with it because I worked my butt off. This is designed for the beginner - I am bringing prospects into 2 businesses I'm involved with - Ash Max & TeamWork Revolution Power System. I had already been marketing online (with little success) since Feb 2008 - I've tried a ton of different things, and had varying degrees of success.

I am by NO Means a Guru, at all - But I can help you get STARTED to effective advertising, and quickly.

This is also meant to be as inexpensive as possible, but money saves you time plain and simple.

You may be brand new to online marketing - If that is the case, you may not appreciate this guide. Why? Because it still takes work and everything you've seen in online marketing is Flash, Cash & Babes in Bikinis. Nobody will tell you it actually takes EFFORT. But for those who have been online for a couple months already, and are frustrated, are probably more aware that nothing is "Signup and Get Rich Overnight". This guide CAN give you results, if you put the time in...

All I can definitively say is this: Once I got serious and focused, these got results for me. But I spent money and i STILL put in the work (and no, it's not fun - but it works :)

This is going to be based around safelists, and how I used them to get my signups.

First, if you are brand new or not getting results then read a copy of Safelist Marketing Tactics. There is no need to upgrade or rebrand this book - I am recommending it only to help you understand the general principles behind how to use them.

Grab your copy of Safelist Marketing Tactics Here.

I recommend you open 2 different "Junk" email accounts - 1 is going to be for the "better" safelists and the other will be for the rest. Both will be list emails - You need to have a 3rd email as your primary email for these as well. You will get Solo ads sent to your primary account - These earn you 3-4x as many credits as your "list" emails, so read all solo ads.

I'm going to just blast off at this point :)

Safelists: I'm going to throw out another disclaimer and say these aren't the "Be All, End All" of safelists. I get results here, you may get results from others - These have gotten ME good results, but you should always find extra eyes for your advertising.

For me, I would rather focus my time on 4 or 5 Quality Safelists, rather than splash around and half ass it with 15 different safelists and not really have enough credits to send emails to all of them - That is just me -

***To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade: I am upgraded on a few of the safelists listed. I am upgraded because they already came highly recommended (I was presold). I've also tested them myself and gotten solid results, which is why I'm recommending them. If you can't upgrade that is okay - It just means you have to click a lot more and get to send ads to less people. My GOAL is always to keep my costs down as much as possible (and YOUR Costs down also). But the bottom line is this - You need to have advertising power, so budget what you CAN and click for credits elsewhere.

State of the Art Mailer: This is my new favorite. I upgraded to the 3k level ($14/month) and can send my ads to 3k members every 3 days. I had 4 prospects my first mailing

Power Profit List: Very new and already #1 on Traffic Hoopla Oct 1!

List Building Maximizer: Over 10k members, highly recommended!

Downline Builder Direct: Email up to 20k members - highly recommend

AdTactics: Excellent safelist. I email daily to 12k members

List Joe: Excellent results, always top ranked

Business World List: Advertise to 100k prospects every 2 days (as upgraded member $12/month, free members 200/2 days)

Instant Profit List: Top ranked safelist

Other Safelists: There are other top notch safelists of course. Check out Traffic Hoopla and the "3rd join" for the top safelists. Join 1 or 2 more from there and use it:

Here are another list of safelists to use - I just haven't gotten as good of results from them:

Elite Safelist: Ranked well by traffic hoopla

European Safelist: Easy to get lots of credits even as a free member

My List Frog: Another one easy to get credits at

Quality Safelist: Free 10k credits with promo code: D9ADDDF5B9

Midnight Sun Safelist - Extra eyes for your advertising

Other resources/advertising:

I use these daily:

Million Leads for Free: Click 10 links, post your ad to 5k prospects, FREE

Adland Pro: Post Free Ads here daily. Really excellent community

US Free Ads: Post free ads - Only problem is they won't show your URL unless you upgrade

Target Pro Blaster: Only $10 1 time, post ads daily forever

If you can only afford 1 upgrade, I recommend State of the Art Mailer. For $14 you can email 3k members every 3 days. 5k level is just a bit more. Compared to others, this is the best value, with the least up front cost. A couple other worth upgrading are AdTactics & Business World List.

TIPS: Grab Free Advertising whenever you can. Many of the safelist emails are offering free credits and free pro memberships at other safelists. I've literally posted thousands of ads just by joining new lists - So when you see a "Email 10k now Free" kind of ad, take a look - Mine is a beginners guide - not the be all and end all :)

Read the Solos! You get 3-4x as many credits reading solos as you do for reading list emails. Solos are sent to your "primary" email, so click and get those credits.

EZINE Advertising:

If you want some better results, without having to click endlessly, try Ezine Advertising.

Here is 1 that I love: EzineClassifieds.com

For $20 you get to post to 300k subscribers. You actually get confirmations from the ezine's, which is important. Lots of Ezine sites claim they send your ads, but actually list ezines that have been long gone. With EzineClassifieds.com you get confirmations from each ezine -

Solo Advertising: I found Safelist.com and recommend it highly. For $15 you get 3 solos sent to a network that includes over 400 safelists each, 1k+ traffic exchanges, 1k+ text ad exchanges and more. It's well worth $15

I will continue to update these as I find more resources. Once I started using State of the Art Mailer, List Joe, Ezine Classifieds and Safelist.com I began getting MANY more subscribers.

Again, you don't have to spend at these and they will still work. You just need to spend more time.

To be continued
