What Is Safelist Advertising

If you are a marketer on a budget using safelist advertising is one of the best free methods to start with. If you are not familiar with safelist advertising it is pretty simple. A safelist is a system that members sign up for either for free or sometimes with upgraded memberships to send email to other members about their opportunity. Sound confusing? Let me break it down for ya.

To use a safelist for advertising you the marketer go and join. You do this so that you can advertise to other members about your product or service. In turn these marketers advertise to you. Some might think it's not a good audience since essentially they are all trying to sell each other on something. Here is where you need to think. You NEVER advertise your primary business in a safelist...honestly not really ever. You want to attract members to your primary business with your relationship with them. No one wants to be sold! That is the bottom line! Never forget that. You want to use safelist advertising to advertise your front end products such as your funded proposal you are using.

When you are doing any type of advertising including safelist advertising you always want to know your audience. In a safelist your audience are a lot of people just like you. They are advertising their own business or service. You want to advertise something that will benefit that audience. Make more sense now?

If you are trying to build your personal list for the first time a safelist is a great way to start. Offering free marketing tips to members is a great way to get them in your opt in list. Then you build a relationship with those members and in time you can advertise to them and probably will be successful at it. Do not expect to go into a safelist though and bring in massive sales right away.

Safelist advertising can be effective especially the fact that it is free. You need to know be aware of who you are marketing to though and use it effectively. My #1 pick for safelist advertising is a safelist called List Joe. Here are few others if you want to give safelist advertising a try.

Tips For Work At Home Parents - Time Managment

If you are a new work at home parent balancing work, kids and everything else can be a struggle. Here are some tips for work at home parents that might make the day go a little easier.


I have been working at home for some time and while there are great advantages to it there are also struggles that you go through from time to time. I thought when my kids were younger it will get so much easier as they get older. I can send them off to school and work away. That is not always the case for work at home parents. Now that I have sent them both off to school they seem to have more and more things that need to be done. My goal is spending great time with them, but sometimes that can be a struggle. Activities, homework and just regular items on my to do list around the house can seem intimidating at times. Then I add in the tasks I want to get done each day and sometimes they just don't get done. That's why it's so important to have a system. Here are a couple of tips that I have learned along the way to balance things out.

Keeping a daily checklist along with a notebook with special tasks for each day will not only keep your day organized but will help you to be sure that your most important tasks are complete.

Prioritize your checklist. What is most important?

Always write down 4-5 items right before bed or when your work day is coming to an end. That way if you are not focused when you start the next day you have your items right there to get you started. Then you are less likely to stray to messing around on the internet or checking emails you really don't need.

Track you list- Is something carrying over day after day on your list? If it is find out why..is it really that important? Do you need to do it? Or are you intimidated by the task? Figure out the problem and either get it done or remove it from the list.

These are just a few small tips and while not everyone is a work at home parent everyone that is running a home business has their own set of items that can take away from their tasks for the day and get them off track. Find out what you can get rid of in your day that just isn't necessary. For myself the most important goal is definitely getting my tasks accomplished each day but more importantly spending quality time with my kids. That's why we do this right?

If you have a home business and you are not using a system it is a must! Everyone builds their home business in their own way using their own methods. It's important to have an online community who supports you. If you do not have a system or have not found a system that is right for you visit http://www.Second-Income-Coach.com
