Can I effectively use Free Safelists?
FREE SAFELISTS
Ok, so you're probably all thinking, "Can I save
money by just using the Free Safelists?"
Well, the quick answer is "nope." Unfortunately,
the Free Safelists are either 1. not RELIABLE or 2. have
no REACH (number of ACTIVE subscribers).
NOTE: When we say Free Safelist, we are not referring
to "listservers."
Here are some of the basic differences between free and
paid safelists:
Free safelists are generally not as well maintained
as paid safelists, meaning that the safelist owner rarely
monitors what gets posted to the list and how often people
post.This only makes sense because the moderators are
not making any money; so they don't have an active interest.
Free safelists are generally more unreliable than paid
lists. The free safelists typical use less than professional
quality hosting, so they tend to be up one day and down
the next. Stuff like this may cause you to waste precious
time.
Free safelists generally attract people who are not
looking to buy --they ONLY want to sell and usually are
inexperienced safelist users.
A lot of people join safelists with junk email addresses,
and don’t keep up on their email, so they get bounced
from the list. The reason being is that they don’t have
anything to lose, since they didn’t pay to join the list.
Paid safelists on the other hand are generally better
maintained, and monitored because the list owner is making
money to keep his subscriber base up to date.
Realibility and Reach are very important, but probably
the most important factor is the REACH (that is the number
of members the safelist has and how often you can email
them). The realibility and reach of safelists vary greatly
-even between free and paid categories.
For example, a Business World List free membership allows
you to submit to 200 members in the database every other
day. However a paid member is able to email to 30,000+
members every other day. That is worth the difference
because you have to consider how many free safelists it
would take to be able to email 30,000 members!
The same holds true for the other mentioned popular safelist
known as Herculist. As a Herculist free member you are
allowed to email 700 random member addresses. Although
paying members with Pro Membership can send to 23,000+
members every other day.
