Safelists, mailers viral mailers, viral list builders
Called by different names but do similar things.
So, What is a Safelist?
Safelist expert Jerry Iannucci of Safelist Marketing Tactics answers the question like this:
A safelist is a membership site which allows its members to exchange email ads with one another. That means that you would be able to email an advertisement to the entire membership of a safelist and in exchange you would agree to receive email ads from other members.
There are hundreds of sites offering these services. And new ones seem to open almost every week – others seem to close.
To help keep this article evergreen, I will not recommend any particular mailer since they are so volatile. Instead, I’ll recommend proven tools that will help you in using the mailers you choose.
To be frank, I would not use mailers without the tools I’m about to share with you.
It just would not be good stewardship of my time or a good return on my investment.

Efficiently Using Safelists and Viral Mailers
There are tools that can help you speed up the use of safelists and viral mailers:
Here are the ones I use regularly (and I would not use safelists without these tools!)
Referral Frenzy will send your email to scores of mailers with one template and one click. No need to log in to each mailer you use. Plus you get bonus credits each month to use in scores of mailers.
Viral Mail Profits is a semi-automatic application that lets you auto-login to mailers with your email ad message quickly loaded and ready to send. This is much faster than you logging in manually to your mailers one at a time, then entering your email message pressing send, logging out and then . . .repeating that for each mailer you want to use.
No More Excuses is a guide by the reputable, reliable owner of ReferralFrenzy that includes a free trial and bonus package for Referral Frenzy. You can [download it here] (https://1010living.info/dl/nomoreexcuses). No opt-in required

Disclosure
Some of my blog posts contain links to products. These are products I use personally or come highly recommended from sources I trust. I would recommend them to my own family. At no extra cost to you, the product creator gives my nonprofit organization a small commission if you click one of these links on my blog and purchase something. This is a win-win-win situation where I get to recommend great products to my readers who benefit tremendously from these products when they buy. My organization receives a small compensation to support our mission and the business gains a new customer. And you pay the same exact price you would pay if you had found the product yourself!
