We all know that advertising is one of the lifebloods of your business. You could have the most incredible products in the world, but if no one knows you exist, you won’t make any sales.

Traditional traffic methods are great and they work well. The only problem is they are typically time consuming, a lot of work, or expensive. You definitely need to look at getting traffic in different ways.

But today I’m going to show you something that’s easy, effective, fast, and cheap.

It’s called EliteSafelist, and it’s owned by a very respected Internet Marketer, Solomon Huey.

EliteSafelist is your instant solution to getting traffic to your websites in minutes. How does it work exactly?

Imagine having a mailing list of thousands of double opt-in subscribers that you could email and tell them about your offers. Sounds great, right? It’s just hard to build that list of people.

Well EliteSafelist has fixed that problem by building a huge membership of thousands of people who are actually excited to hear from you and what you have to offer. By becoming a member, you can contact these people and tell them about your favorite programs!

Here’s 3 steps to start reaching thousands of people literally in minutes:

1) Join EliteSafelist

2) Send a mailing to its members

3) Earn mailing credits by reading emails and clicking the credit links at the bottom.

That’s it! Easy right?

Yes, it’s a powerful advertising program that will bring you guaranteed website traffic. But it does much more than that if you use it properly.

When you refer new members to EliteSafelist, you get rewarded several ways, which helps you save time and make more money. If you refer just one upgraded member, you get…

* Tons of mailing credits to send advertisements at EliteSafelist
* Commissions every single month the member stays upgraded
* Commissions on every credit purchase
* A downline builder system where your referrals could become your downline in multiple programs

What’s most powerful is the residual commissions. Just for telling one person about EliteSafelist, you could get paid for years for making a sale just once!

And of course, that doesn’t include the advertising credits you earn, commissions for credit purchases, and building your downlines.

They even give you professionally made tools that you can use to get referrals right away, like emails, banners, reviews, signatures, and more.

When you join EliteSafelist, you’ll automatically become a part of their incredible affiliate program that saves you time, advertises your business, and makes you more money.

To Your Success,

Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person’s need for information quickly!

But, after you’ve delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?

If you are like most Internet marketers, you don’t.

When you don’t follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him.

Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn’t receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.

Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?

Following up with leads is more than just a process – it’s an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don’t follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.

Consistent follow up gets results!

One follow up method is the “List Technique.”   In this method, the prospect receives a welcome letter, and then usally isn’t contacted again for awhile.

The marketer will write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information.  While this may help win a few additional sales, it isn’t a very good follow up method.  Why isn’t the “List Technique” very effective?

• The List Technique isn’t consistent. Proponents of the List Technique tend to only send out follow up messages when their companies have “big news”.
• List Technique messages don’t give the potential customer any additional information about the product or service in question. He can’t make a more informed buying decision after receiving a newsletter! If someone is wondering whether your company sells the best knick-knacks, what does he care that you’ve just moved your headquarters?
• List Technique messages convey a “big list” mentality to your potential customers. When writing follow up messages using the List Technique, you are basically writing news bulletins to everyone you know! Instead, you should be sending a personal message to each individual who wanted to know more about your products.

What follow up method really works?

Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning.

First, you’ll need to develop your follow up messages. If you’ve been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter. Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn’t have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services!

Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services. Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message.

The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect’s mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately!

Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn’t yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn’t the right color or doesn’t have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it’s unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.)

The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don’t want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up!

Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions!

Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors’. You will make the sale!

Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don’t want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart.

Following up effectively seems complicated, but it doesn’t have to be! So many potential customers are lost because of poor follow up – don’t you want to be one of the few to get it right?
