Hi, is this usually a straight forward process, or does anyone have any secrets to building a HUGE email list?

    they say to make your own product and offer 100% commissions to your affiliates and have them build your list for you as you earn $$ from your back end offer as well.

    and free giveaways too.

    I agree with both of the above posts.

    Another thing I'd like to add is that if you're willing to invest some money (which you should be because having a responsive list is very lucrative), then try this method.

    Search for your main keywords on Google and check out both the natural and sponsored results.

    If any of those sites are capturing names and e-mails then they have a list

    Put there domain name into Better Whois: The WHOIS domain search that works with all registrars. or Domain Tools: Whois Lookup and Domain Suggestions and find their e-mail address. (Some people also include contact info on the bottom of their web pages).

    Send them an e-mail saying that you would like to buy a solo ad to be e-mailed out to there list and ask them how many people are on their list and what they would charge you. Don't be afraid to bargain with them and get the lowest price possible. If there isn't at least a few thousand people on their list, don't bother.

    Once you've come to an agreement, make sure you type up a compelling e-mail that will get good CTR (click thru rate) and send people to a squeeze page where you capture their name and e-mail.

    Don't be afraid to give something really valuable away for free, because you can make a lot more money on the backend with your list.

    Hope this helps.

    Tommy

    PS. I'm going to be posting a WSO with tons of Video Squeeze Page templates that are fully customizable and I'm including some awesome video tutorials along with them. The price will be in the single digits so stay tuned to that.

    Built a list of over 2,000,000 in one niche (google content network). Secret is tons of traffic, preferably cheap, and a killer optin conversion rate. At the time mine was 35% on cold traffic.

      Holy CRAP! 2 million. Geez, man... if I had anywhere near that many on my list, I'd have retired, flown my private Lear to the island I'd have bought, and told the world to kiss my booty. That's amazing. 2 million opt-ins. Boggles the mind.

        You can use also social networks..like twitter, but if you have a website or a high traffic blog, that might be the first step.
        Take your followers and get them to sign up for an email list, from there, make sure you're offering high quality emails to your list.

        Agreed. Additionally, if I had a list that huge, I would buy a round of beers for every Warrior on this forum.

    Few more things I haven't seen mentioned that work well when done right - Adswaps, joint ventures and giveaways. All three can build up your list relatively quick.

    If you have a really good product you are prepared to give 100% commission on, why not ask the guy with 2million on his list if he would like to market it for you.

    He gets all the profit and you get the list.

    Even @ 1% purchase that's 20,000 sales.

    Even if he only charges $10 for the product he gets $200k and you get a great big list of
    people who are prepared to put their hands in the wallets.

    Ah, if only life where that easy!!!

    Here is the secret.. building a huge list which responds well takes time and alot of work. Provide the best value possible to your list and give them the ability to invite their friends to join your list.

    I rather create a small highly responsive list of buyers then spend the time working on creating a huge list.

      Get suggetion Tommy and to the others. After messing around with adwords and paying someone to list my site in their 400,000 viewers (no success), I am convienced list building is the key.

      I am in process of creating a product for free initially, and in return collect opt-ins.
