Mo, can you show me exactly where I was saying that "you never get any response from Creditbased safelists"? I'm sure that you get some sort of response. Otherwise there wouldn't be users for the safelists you were writing about I think that you misunderstood me. Look for example at the last sentence you quoted from my post: "This is a truth that has to be told to the people, so that they know what to expect from many safelists" Many doesn't mean all, right? Anyway, there are a lot of newbies that join the safelists and I'm sure they never heard about the tools I was mentioning You will definitely get some sort of response from them. The point of my posts was another one, but if you didn't get it then maybe you didn't read carefully my posts (there is no problem) or I was not very clear (that's a problem ).
Sign up with AWeber, set up a few lists, put the opt-in form on your squeeze page, and get your leads to subscribe, THEN market to them. That's how I'd go about doing it. Unless you mean advertising your squeeze pages in other people's newsletters. If you're going to do that, I'd contact someone with a big list related to your niche directly and ask them to recommend your site. Obviously you'd have to make it worth their while as well... As far as impersonal ads go though, I'm not sure about the conversion rate but its not anything I'd be willing to put money into. I would assume people don't read their newsletters for the ads.
