Hey there! It’s Matt from ClassifiedSubmissions.com, and I want to introduce you to an exciting opportunity to supercharge your lead generation game. We’ve recently revamped our “Get Your Own Classified Ad Website” offer, a tool that can be a powerhouse for generating leads. This blog post will cover everything you need to know about this concept and how it can help you build massive email lists without breaking a sweat.
A classified ad website is a platform where users can publish ads about various products and services for free or for a fee. It’s like creating your own mini Craigslist or Gumtree. But here’s the catch—it’s your website, your rules, and your opportunity to create a lead-generating machine.
“Offering free advertising is a real magnet.”
By providing users a space to post their ads for free, you attract massive traffic. But why stop there? You can leverage this influx to build your email list. Let me show you how.
Imagine a tool that not only lets you host classified ads but also helps you gather leads seamlessly. This is exactly what happens when people register on your classified ad website. They get a free ad posting opportunity, and you get a chance to convert them into leads.
First things first, we handle all the technicalities. From hosting to setup, you don’t have to worry about a thing. It’s your website, hosted on our servers, and you own it completely. You can even sell it if you want.
When users register to post their ads, they also receive an email invitation to join your newsletter. Imagine having the power to turn every ad creator into a long-term lead.
When users join your newsletter, they’re opting into a series of follow-ups via our self-hosted autoresponder system. An email like, “Hey, would you like $597 in free software + eBook?” can work wonders in attracting more sign-ups.
We’re integrating with a self-hosted autoresponder system. Here’s why that’s a game-changer:
By shifting to a self-hosted system from Sendy, not only do you save money, but you also gain freedom from the limitations and additional checks that third-party services impose. You can personalize your campaigns, segment your list effectively, and gain better insights through comprehensive analytics.
Reverse advertising flips the traditional model on its head. Instead of pushing out adverts to attract people, you pull them in by offering services they want—in this case, free ad placements. It’s a strategy that aligns perfectly with the mentality of your target audience—people interested in advertising or work-from-home opportunities.
“The money is in the list.”
While the primary focus is generating leads, there’s also a financial perk. When users choose to upgrade their ads to premium, you pocket the fee directly—whether through PayPal, Stripe, or both.
Building a sustainable and profitable lead generation system doesn’t have to be complicated. With our solution, not only do you harness the power of a dedicated classified ad website, but you also benefit from an advanced, cost-effective autoresponder system.
If you’re interested in launching your own classified ad website and integrating a self-hosted autoresponder, we’ve got you covered. Click here to take the first step towards transforming your lead generation strategy.

I was going through the stats on the Classified Submissions affiliate program to find out how my top affiliates are generating commissions. This is a screenshot from the affiliate stats page of an affiliate who has consistently earned affiliate commissions:
There are pages and pages of stats like this. This affiliate has earned 414 commissions so far.
I had tried Herculist before and found it a bit awkward to navigate. I still have a membership. However, it seems like Herculist is capable of driving solid traffic and conversions for the make money from home market and advertising for the work from home market.
So let’s look at how you can use Herculist to generate affiliate commissions.
Herculist is basically a credit safelist and advertising exchange. Herculist also provides the opportunity to purchase solo ads. Here are some of your options to get traffic to your affiliate link with Herculist:
If you come is as gold member you can send your ad out every day using the regular mailer. They say the list 282,104. I believe they have a list that big. I do not believe they are going to send your ad out every day to a list that size.
But this is not a problem. They still are going to send your ad out to a reasonable number of people for what you paid. And you can send your ad out every day.
Then there is the credit mailer. The credit mailer is more effective than the regular mailer. With the credit mailer recipients receive a link they can click to visit your website. If they click the credit link and visit your website for a certain amount of time then they receive credits.
They can use these credits to send out their own credit mailer.
What I like about the credit mailer is that for sure you will get eyeballs. Sure they just clicked to get the credits but if you have a very strong offer that appeals to the work from home audience then some people will click and even buy.
Keep in mind I am reviewing this source because one of my affiliates has made 414 sales using this as one of his main sources of traffic!
The catch is that you have to have enough credits to send out a mailing. You need 500 credits minimum to send out a credit mailing. You earn the credits by viewing other people’s ads for 5 seconds if you are a gold member, 15 seconds for free and lower tiered memberships.
You can earn credits by clicking links in credit emails, viewing “blurbs” and just viewing ads. The timer goes quickly and you can rack up credits very quickly.
You can also just purchase advertising from Herculist. One option is the log in ad. Your full page landing page will be displayed to everyone who logs into Herculist for a certain amount of time. Say 12-48 hours.
Contact email solo email packages are different than using the regular mailer and credit mailer. These are solo emails to the CONTACT emails of their members. These emails are not bombarded with advertising messages like the LIST emails. You will get a much better response sending a solo email to the CONTACT email rather than the LIST email.
Herculist boasts a contact list of over 80,000 members.
You can also purchase what they call “Blurbs.” They look like this:
Blurbs are sprinkled around the site. Members are incentivized to click on the blurbs with credits. Yes, Herculist is a bit of a circular firing squad but hey it works!
People on these sites are deluded with work from home offers. It is very hard to stand out from the crowd. But what do all these people want? More traffic, more exposure. So why not promote exactly what they want?
1. Give away something for free that appeals to marketers
2. Have an simple opt in form with everything above the fold (No scrolling.) You only have a few seconds to grab their attention.
3. Your opt in form should subscribe them to an email follow up series promoting your offers.

This video explains how our autoresponder follow up system sells our service for you getting you more affiliate sales. Here is a blog post which goes into even more detail on the subject of follow up emails for affiliate marketing.
The problem with affiliate marketing is that everybody is promoting more or less the same thing. Most well organized affiliate programs have pre-written sales letters and ad copy. Using these pre-written letters can definitely work but if the program is popular you end up sending out all the same ad that everybody else is using. This does not gain you much credibility with your viewers. (Please note if you create a video testimonial about classifiedsubmissions.com I will post the video here with your affiliate link! Just send me an email here.)
If you want to succeed in an exceptional way you need to use your imagination and come up with some original promotion ideas to promote the affiliate program. One of the most effective ways to promote your chosen affiliate program is through creating your own personal video testimonials of your chosen affiliate program.
It is easy to create a video testimonial. If your computer has a microphone and a built in web cam you can make a video directly from your YouTube account.
Here is a video where I explain and show exactly how to record a video testimonial just with your laptop and a YouTube account to promote your affiliate program.
1. Log into your YouTube account.
2. Click upload.
3. Click Webcam record.
4. Click record.
5. Record your testimonial.
6. Click upload.
Bingo your video is automatically on YouTube! Now put a title in the title area. Make sure you include your keywords in the title. Put your affiliate link or better your own domain name at the top of the description and redirect your own domain name to your affiliate link.
Then start uploading the video to all the other video hosting sites and social media sites. Traffic from videos is permanent and videos get ranked very quickly in the natural search results. Not to mention that YouTube is the number 2 search engine after Google on it’s own.
Remember it does not matter if you are slick. As a matter of fact it is better if you are not slick and glib. People want real testimonials not a sales presentation.
1. Write down 5 things you like about the product or service.
2. Write down a couple of things you would like to see improved.
3. Write down why you would recommend this product or service and how they can sign up. (Hint: Put your affiliate link or domain name at the top of the description of the video and tell people in your video to click the link in the description. It is important to tell people what to do. Do not assume they will click the link. Call to action!)
4. Then just talk naturally about the program. If you stumble it is no big deal. Just talk like you would talk with a friend. You can even pretend you are talking to a friend. Do not get hung up on being perfect. Action is the key!
Video marketing is a slightly longer term strategy than just placing ads but it is actually better because it will bring you traffic for months to come. It is permanent, natural and credible traffic. Start putting these videos out everyday and uploading them to all the video hosting sites. In a few months you will have maybe hundreds of videos all bringing you traffic and sales on real autopilot! Plant those money seeds and enjoy the harvest.
If you are looking for a great program to promote we highly suggest of course our affiliate program at www.classifiedsubmissions.com/affiliate-program. We pay 50% recurring commissions and the profit is a hot seller and free to join! Please share this blog post on your favorite social media. Thank you!
YouTube and Dailymotion as well as other video sites absolutely rock when it comes to seo. YouTube has a ranking of PR9 which is about as good a ranking as it gets. This should be no surprise since Google owns YouTube. Consequently YouTube videos tagged with your keywords will often rank higher and faster than your own website.

1. Sign up for the classified ad submission affiliate program here.
2. Download this video to your hardrive. Right click here and “save as.”
Here is what the video looks like on YouTube:
3. Create an account with YouTube.com if you do not already have one.
4. Upload the video from your hard drive to YouTube.
5. Make sure you include lots of keywords in the titles and descriptions. Here are some sample titles:

6. Include your affiliate link at the very beginning of the description on YouTube. If you have your affiliate url in the beginning of the description it will be very easy to see and click. If anybody orders after clicking you get $19.97 monthly recurring commissions.
7. Promote the video. If you have a blog put the embed code on your blog and or website. Send an email blast to your list with the video on YouTube. You can even upload the video to 35 other video hosting sites. Here is a good list of video hosting sites. Here is a guy who will upload them for you to 35 video hosting sites for $5.
If you actually upload the video to 35 different video hosting sites mixing up all the titles and keywords chances are you will start to dominate the search engines for these keywords. If anybody orders the classified ad submission service You will receive recurring monthly commissions. Even if somebody orders one year later you will still get credit. We track cookies for one year.
The great thing about this traffic is that it is free and it lasts for years. Your videos will only get ranked higher and higher in the video listings as well as in the natural search engines listings. YouTube videos extremely well and quickly. Video marketing is a great way to earn affiliate commissions. If you choose to promote our program you will benefit in that the commissions will be recurring plus classified ad submissions are a hot seller.
