Building a responsive mailing list is one of the most important factors to your Internet business. There are many ways to build a mailing list but one of the most popular ways is through adswaps. Before I found safe-swaps I used to manually search for swappers, input it into my Google calender and hope the person I’m dealing with was a reliable marketer. boy I’m glad things have changed, safe swaps has allowed me to build a responsive mailing while building a huge base of like minded people that want to build a mailing list together.
If your in a hurry I suggest you just watch the video at the bottom and you should quickly see why you should join safe-swaps for a $1 trial offer.
Adswap is the process of contacting a fellow Internet marketer and setting up a date and time where you will send a offer to your list while the person you agreed to swap ads does the same thing. This is by far one of the best ways to build a huge mailing list within just a few months. Now there can be a few problems that can arise, one of the most common problems is when you believe the person who you agreed to do the swap with says they have a list of lets say 2k when in fact after the swap you only got a few new subscribers while they made easy adding your subscribers to there now much bigger list.
Now what if there was a way for holding marketers accountable for what they say, what if there was a way to leave feedback stating things like ” Super Amazing Swap, I completely Recommend This Person” or “Scammer, beware of this guy, Never sent my swap” and just like the eBay system wouldn’t it be cool to be able to leave positive or negative feedback. If you are looking for reliable swapping partners then you need to join safe-swaps and find out for yourself why its the best service around.
Just check out the video below and you will see that safe-swaps has a load of nice features that is going to make your adswap to a whole new level. I have personally been using safe-swaps for the past three months and within that short time I have added around 1500 new subscribers with double opt-in. I personally have not seen a better way to build a mailing list. Make sure and watch the whole video for a complete review. I even point out the negative side to safe-swaps.
Overall I give Safe-Swaps.com a 8 out of 10.

Hey Edson,
That’s so many swaps you have lined up and from the stats looks like your getting a good return from doing them.
Your video was very clear and easy to follow, I can see why automating it would be a much easier process.
Hope your enjoying the World Cup, Sally

Hi Sally,
Yes I have set up a lot of swaps
The main reason is after years of working online I have finally started to build a list (What a mistake to a make). After I reach my goal number of 3.5k subscribers I will slow down as the next step in my marketing success is product creation.
After July I plan on only doing a few swaps a month but for now its a great way to build a mailing list.
Now that USA and Brasil have made the top sixteen in the World Cup, its time to let the games begin
Take Care,
Edson
Hey Edson,
This is a good post.
After I read the post I was wondering how a marketer would know that the other marketer was genuine or not, emails have been sent to their list the number of times agreed, etc. Lots of uncertainty, though this is still a good way of building a list and marketers still do adswaps.
But safe-swaps seems to be a better way of doing it with accountability at both ends.
You seems to have lined up (probably completed those for June by now) lot of swaps for June .. and building a good list from them. Good one.
What do you recommend for people who don’t have a list at all – like me?
Cheers!

Hi Abizer,
When you do adswaps on your own without safe-swaps you are always taking a chance that the person you agreed to swap with does not follow through. Now when a person does this to many times, word gets around and next thing you know you can read about these people on forums like warrior forum. The reason why I love safe-swaps is that is makes people accountable for what they say and do.
What do I recommend you do? start building a list as this is one of the most important parts of your internet business. I would recommend you join safe-swaps and start building relationships with other marketers. I also recommend you get involved in some giveaways as this is also a good way to build a list if you do not have anything.

Hey Edson,
Yeah, I have started reading about give-away events and that’s going to be on my agenda. As I read I understand that this is a good way to start building a list.
I also need to add an opt-in box on my website … which I haven’t yet. List building is my focus.
An if I don’t have a list, can I still get benefited by registering on safe-swaps ?
Cheers!
Aizer
Hi Abizer,
First and foremost you will need to sign up and get a an opt-in box on your website. I recommend you go with aweber as they are fairly good priced and a great company to work with.
Will you benefit from safe-swaps without a list? Yes and No
the obvious reason is without a list its gonna be hard to swap with swappers but on the other hand its a great place to find people that are ready to swap. Many of the people on safe-swaps also do giveaways and talk about giveaways on their profile.
Safe-swaps will put in the the inner circle of people that love to build their list with adswaps so I recommend you join even if its for the trail period (once you join you might see why its worth staying)
Regards,
Edson Buchanan
P.S. glad to see you added a avatar picture to your commenter
Hi Edmond
Yeah, I think I agree with you and atleast I’ll start getting a hang of it once I enrol to safe-swaps, also get more info on JV GA events and develop relationships.
I already have a autoresponder account with Getresponse but did not put a sign-in on the blog .. which is the first thing I should do as you suggest. Thanks.
Also don’t understand why on some sites my avatar appears but on others it doesn’t.
Cheers!

I just signed up for the dollar trial I have a little over 400 highly responsive Aweber emails. It looks promising I will post on my blog if it is worth it after the first month I think it will be. But time will only tell. The only thing I am leery about is giving them my login info for my Aweber account to automate it even though it would be easier. Makes me uneasy. I will do it manually for now but it looks promising I will keep everyone informed!

Hello,
I actually don’t use the automate part of the aweber part. Instead I just do it manually to make sure that I either sending or receiving the same amount of clicks. I would recommend you send manually.
Oh and thanks for stopping by

Hi Edson,
Excellent video on Safe swaps – thanks for that.
We agree concerning the two negatives. People should always have a right of reply.
Also responses to other marketers requests to do an adswap should have a time limit on them eg 72 hours to avoid interfering with other people’s scheduling.
We are very new and only just starting out but am off to try it out with our miniscule list.
Thanks again,
Allan and Dawn
Hi Allan and Dawn,
I’m glad to see your giving it a try. The other thing that really makes safe-swaps a great place to be a member of is they continue to update and improve there service.
I have been a member for around six months and they have updated the site at least three times and I can remember. Request to get something changed and they are more then willing to listen.
Regards,
