Using Safelists
Safelists are generally operated from a web site. If you wish to send your message to other members of the safelist you will have to go to the web site and post your message there. This ensures that someone personally sends the message. The frequency of sending message is regulated so that members do not overload other members.
The safelist management takes proper care to maintain their list of email addresses. Whenever there are incidents like bouncing emails, full in-boxes or spam filters by which emails are not delivered, such email addresses are properly dealt with. All members are registered by double opt-in method. The safelists take particular care to maintain valid email addresses.
As a member of the safelist you can be reasonably certain that your message will be delivered where intended. You do not have to worry about spam complaints. Your messages are delivered without "send to" address – the recipient of your message will not be able to send instant reply to you by hitting reply button.
Free or paid
Free Safelists and Paid Safelists are becoming a very popular way of advertising websites via e-mail. Safelists are lists which contain email addresses of individuals which have agreed to receive email from the other members of the email safelists. Some safelists contain thousands of members. So, whether you join a free safelist, or a paid safelist , you too can email those members of the list about your website or offer.
Some safelists allow you to join free - but with limitations. Such as - if you join free, you might only be allowed to email the complete list of members only once a week. However , paid members are allowed to post every day or every other day.
The Numbers Game
Safelist marketing is really a game of numbers. You may not be able to read all your messages, but you will possibly see some of them. Likewise you can expect other members to read just a few of the messages they receive.

The headline or subject line of your message plays a crucial role in drawing the right persons , equally important is the body of your ad , both should be written to impel the reader to click on your link , or at the very least open your message .
Be careful in choosing the Headline and the body of your ad , write them , test them , and be prepared to change them if they dont pull the response you require , remember Content is King !

A compelling headline in your message will be most useful in attracting attention.
