Got Safelist Review –A Legitimate Way to Make Money or Just Spam?
- 12 Comment
What Is Got Safelist and is it a scam or a fraud?
Here is our review article on this marketing medium.
Got Safelist is a service that helps you to promote your business or product through email marketing. This involves sending ads to members or propects who have all opted in to receive them, therefore they would not be classed as spam.
Got Safelist differs from many of the other safelist services due to the fact that, as well as you paying them for a service, you can even make money using their site.
You can sign up for a free account at the site where you get a certain number of credits to try the service out. Credits pay for the ads you send, or you can trade them into cash (which is how you are able to make money with the system).
You can earn credits by: purchasing them, upgrading your account (to a paid membership), referring other users, or clicking links in other member’s emails that you receive from the safelist.
NOTE: the site makes it extremely hard to find out how much it costs to upgrade to a ‘PRO’ membership.
Is This A Scam?
There are two levels to GotSafelist.com – the safelist advertising and the potential to make money through email clicks and referrals earning you credits. Looking at the site and various reviews on the internet, it looks like both claims are legitimate.
But Does It Work?
While Got Safelist is legal, you should bear in mind the traditional criticisms of safelist advertising. Everyone who signs up to the list is a user like you who wants to advertise their services. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will be interested in your product. You may get a few clicks out of every couple of hundred emails sent. You will also receive a lot of emails when you sign yourself up as an advertiser.
Got Safelist increases the chance of your email being viewed by allowing users to earn credits by clicking email links. But this is still unlikely to lead to sales. Other methods of advertising are often much more cost effective with much more steady results.
The great thing is that you could use the product for free, by earning credits and referring members. However, you will need to pay to upgrade your membership if you want to send more emails or use HTML in your emails.
It also seems as though the service could help you earn money, but again this may take a lot more time and effort than the money it is worth.
Until next time,
Charles & Susan Truett

I have never tried any sort of safelist. For me, it is all spam heaven.
Why? Every safelist I know of (which is not many) sell a CD with the email addresses.
As a safelist member I could, therefore, subscribe and confirm to their double optin–giving my permission to list members to send me legit email. But then they burn my adress and sells it to, say, John.
After the sale, I unsubscribed and got removed from their current list. But my email is still in the sold burnt CD. So John spans me unknowingly. I report him, and he gets into trouble.
Granted, this could be fixed if the list is handled by the list’s web server and never burnt and sold. That is not the way safelists I know of work.
So, I consider anything to do with safelist spam until proved not spam.

I can’t say I agree with your comments about Fuel Legacy. I decided to try their product; I didn’t have great expectation… I drive an 06 ford Mustang GT, I was getting 17 MPG on each tank. I started to use their eeFuel product and saw an increase to 21 MPG. I have been using the product ever since and love it! I even got my friends to use it. Just saying don’t knock it until you try it. Thanks for your incite.

The safelists are useful, because you can learn what’s going on in the market.
You can decide which business to join, based on the longevity of the ads and the value of the program.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Diversify, and evaluate the business based on the return for your time and money.

I am getting good results from safelists. I use them simply because there are always Newbies who may be looking to start a business.

HI ALL
SAFELIST ADVERTISING DOES WORK ,YOU JUST HAVE TO TRACK THE ADS .CHECK WHICH SAFELISTS ARE MOST RESPONSIVE TO YOUR AD.UNSUBSCRIBE TO THE ONES THAT DONT WORK.IT TAKES ABOUT 5 EMAILS ON AVERAGE FOR A PURCHASE FROM EMAILS. YOU TRY SEND FIVE PEOPLE YOU DONT KNOW 5 EMAILS AND SEE WHAT REACTION YOU GET. PUT IT THIS WAY MY EMAIL BOX FROM SAFELIST IS USUALLY FULL WITH 1000 PLUS EMAILS. I DONT READ THEM ALL.I LOKK FOR THE ONES I WANT TO OPEN .DELETE THE REST.
IF YOU GOT A 1000 COLD CALS ADAY FROM STRANGERS. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? THIS WHY SAFELIST WORK .AS FOR GOT SAFELIST. IAM A FREE MEMBER AND HAVE GOOD SALESS FROM THEM.October 11th, 2009 at 9:32 am -

I have never been sure what a safelist was. Early on, I read a little about them. It sounded like you could be signing up to receive emails from thousands of people if everyone you sent to, sent to your. I thank you for this review because it confirmed that my take on what I read is pretty accurate.
Some might say to create a special email addy to use on safelists. Then they aren’t in an email you are using for true emails. If I do that, won’t all the people I am sending to do the same?I got the impression from the report that you might not feel as strongly against using safelists as I do but you pointed out what I don’t like about them.

I have come to realise that most safelists and the like are really not at all what they claim to be! I have been a member of more than a half dozen and all I got was a tremendious amount of emails and the majority were responders or addresses that did not go to a person. I have heard there are a few good ones and would rather submit to free ads site, knowing what that will bring! I have recieved viruses, spyware and who knows what from list building sites! I have the McAfee reports to prove it. I have over 1300 of them in a 3 month period. I will stay away from them. Prove to me I am wrong and I will change my mind! If you think about it, selling to sellers really does’nt make sence. Better ways to build a list takes time and commitment, truthfullness and integrity. Honor what you do.

There are many safelists out there and yes you might only get a few clicks or page views from every hundred or so sent, but if used correctly safelists can have a good effect. I use maybe 20 different sasfelists each week and gotsafelist while not be the best it is no the worst either. At least they send your mail and you get traffic from it, unlike others I have used in the past. I would rate it 6/10 compared to other safelists but compared to effective advertising all safelists are the same 2/10.

Got Safelist is one of my favorites because I never have to click for credits and I get lots of hits. I have quite a lot of people sign up under me as a result of the banners they provide. I place them on every list that allows me banners.
