    You don't "get" an email list, you "build" one. Do you currently have anything in place? Auto-Responder? A Squeeze Page?

    If your looking to buy lists as if they will be subscribers to what you are offering it's not going to work.

    You can buy lists, but you have to look at it as a traffic source. You will need your own server, IPs, mailing software and you need to have the list cleaned. You also need to know how to monetize it properly and doing all this just to try and build your specific list/offer will most likely not work, unless maybe it was targeted and you can inbox it...then you you might have a chance.

    Sasha,

    Increasing your list size is a good goal, but you should focus not on just increasing the quantity, but more importantly the quality of your leads.

    Too many people are caught up in the increase-my-list-size hysteria by using things such as pop-ups, exit pop-ups, etc., to force people to sign up. It's true, you'll get a larger list, but you'll also a) get a lot of bogus email addresses and b) put off people who genuinely don't like being forced into giving away their email address. And these people are probably the best type of customers out there. They want to give you their email address when they are ready, not when you want it.

    This is just something to think about, and perhaps dissuade you from taking the decision to try to quickly grow your list by nudging people too much into handing you over their email address.

    Plus, what also matters, and something people don't talk that much about, is open-rates. A 10,000-subscriber list is worthless if your open rate is 10%. I mean, it's better than nothing, but when 9 out of 10 people don't even open your emails, then perhaps the approach needs to be changed.

    Expanding your email list is the fastest way to build your business, and get a loyal network of subscribers.

    A couple of considerations you want to make though are two things: quantity AND targeted traffic.

    If you only get random traffic, let's say you're selling a marketing program and they blast it to a bunch of weight loss and pregnant women (or anything other than marketing) everyone will see it as useless and just delete it - that's quantity - you make $0.

    Targeted is getting 8 marketers looking for copywriting, and your materials are a perfect match - they buy your materials and $200 off 2 sales, because you targeted.

    Quality of traffic is far more important than quantity.

    • Build your list by targeting forums pertaining to your niche and place a sign up link in your signature.
    • Offer something valuable for free.
    • Make sure you don't use form pop-ups because most people's browsers block such pop-ups, instead use inline forms

    Thank you... And yes i'm currently working on a squeeze page... I'm focusing on Anti aging products... Anything I should pay attention in a squeeze page? I'm sorry but what is an auto-responder?

    And yes I do know its build sorry for using the wrong word. Something free? will samples and ebooks work? or can it be like a contest to win the products? If yes, How do i direct traffic to the squeeze page?

    Thank you so much once again for all your replies... I appreciate it!

      An auto responder is where you schedule emails and they would get your email on a specific time you set up. When someone subscribes to your email list they will get an email from your auto responder. I hope that makes sense, I use GetResponse to do this.

      Yes give out a free ebook or a just an informational pdf solving a particular problem.
      On the traffic matter, you can either go for paid traffic or get free traffic by:-
      • make an informational presentation on something pertaining to your targeted niche and include links leading back to you- afterwords share it on slideshare.
      • Be continuously active on social platforms-open a fan page related to your niche- share it and be very active.
      • Write unique content NOT PLR but your own and embed a link at the bottom of your content, afterwards share it on articlebase.com

    You can build a list when you drive traffic to your own email opt in squeeze page.

    Once you have your own, you will then need to market it.

    Those who get anywhere between 50-200 leads per day know how to effectively market online. This is something that you also must master.

    You can collect your emil Id by your existing and past client. This is the best step instead of buying from some company.

    build your list thru squeeze pages. setting up ads on social media or solo ads with targeted traffic is definitely a start. Both are paid traffic. You can immediately offer them something of value (ebook) or an actual offer to buy based off what your squeeze page consisted of. This gives you ability to recoup some of your advertising dollars. Ex: If ur squeeze page says something about ... learn how to get 50 high targeted leads from FB. Then when they optin take them to an offer that is showing this with opportunity to buy the product. Believe in what you offer your list. They are your biggest asset online.
