<h1>Safe Lists: Good or Bad for Network Marketing?</h1> <p align=right>by Robert J. Armstrong</p> <div align=justify>For many years people have sought to spread the word about their home based businesses on safe lists. They said it was either very low cost or free advertising. And they said that one could reach others who understood MLM or network marketing or home based business attitudes. Thus one could reach others who would be of a like mind. And there are even those who claim, and rightfully so, that they have made lots of money advertising on safe lists or had people sign up for their opportunity from a safe list. However, upon closer scrutiny it becomes apparent that only certain types of businesses do well on safe lists. And those are businesses that advertise the next hot safe list to join, or that advertise a tool or system that will enable the home based business owner to more widely or efficiently promote their business. As for those who have had success on a safe list getting others to sign up for their business opportunity, for every one who claims that there are 999 others who claim otherwise. In other words, every now and then even a blind hog roots out an acorn. Sad to say, if you are promoting your own network business you will not do well. What happens is that you wind up promoting your own business to others who are promoting their own business and have little or no interest in what you have to offer. They want you to read their offer but wind up just going to the link to get their credits and delete your offer as quickly as possible so they can hurry to another link and do the same thing all over again. Two more people can also make money on a safe list. And that is the person who owns the safe list and the person who sells you an e-book that tells you how to best use the safe list. So, unless you are the safe list owner, or have a product that appeals to the safe list niche market, I would avoid them like the plague. It is not only a waste of your time, but of your money too. </div> <p align=center>Article source: <a href="http://www.ArticlePros.com/home_based_business/network_marketing/article-94275.html">ArticlePros.com</a></p> <table align=center width=550 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=silver cellpadding=5> <tr bgcolor=antiquewhite> <td> <p align=center><b>About the author</b></p> <p align=justify>Dr. Robert Armstrong is a retired Green Beret turned Doctor of Chiropractic who is currently the Director of Corporate Training for TWCCTW, Inc., a firm which works with over 150,000 non profit organizations.
