Hey all Im new here to the forum but have been in the internet marketing / SEO world for some time. All of the list building I have ever done has been through SEO traffic.

I am looking for some good advice on how you would best spend $1000 to grow your email list quickly. I am looking to get as many qualified double opt-in email addresses as I can in the next 14 days.

Do CPA networks do this? Is this the best way to go? I just have no experience in this world and don't want to pay for untargeted emails.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

    Media buying is also another one to look into.

      Do you recommend a specific place to buy media?

      If you really have to spend the money then I would suggest solo ads. Quality solo ads combined with a converting squeeze page can do wonders to your list size. If you can throw in a highly targeted product in the back end then you have the recipe for spending $1000 to create a massive list and then recovering some of that money right away.

        Thanks for the response. Where do I go to get solo ads? I have never heard of this before.

          Try Safe Swaps or Reed Floren's, there are good places to start if you are in the IM niche. If you aren't try to contact other list holders in your niche.

          A solo is an email sent to someone's list. You pay them and they send it to their subscribers. You send them to your optin page and if the page converts well you should get a good amount of new subscribers.

            I also recommend solo ads. The traffic you get is very targeted because its based on your swipe file. The visitor knows exactly what they are getting when they click the link in there email to go to your site.

            I also recommend safe-swaps. They have a large variety of people that can send anywheres from 20 clicks to 3000 clicks that you can purchase.

          This one is by Reed Floren

          Reed Floren's Solo Ad Directory

          You will find a lot of information on solo ads in this forum. Getting around those is not the easiest but dig around, you will find gold.

          Hope that helps

    If you plan on spending $1,000 on this then why not choose a few methods and set a minimum spend for each, ie - $100. Then test them and see which gives you the best results. Then invest the rest on the best option.

    What I would recommend though is that you get your squeeze page spot on so it converts well. No point in getting lots of clicks with few optins.

    Also, a nice money earner can be adding a low cost OTO after the optin. I've found that $7 OTO's work well after an optin with a freebie. This may not only recoup your investment but also return even more money than what you spend.

    Then you can choose to keep re-investing the money back into your list building campaign.

    The best way is offering a free product in your website like dofollow forums list,dofollow or .edu blogs list, fresh proxies list or a good ebook, if you offer a good free product you will have 1000s of subscribers in a few days. Of course promote your product in forums, social networks etc.

    Solo ads, high ranking websites advertising.
    List sharing works the best in my mind. Lead bartering is cheap and usually easy to get done.

      I think solo ads would be the way to go. A solo ad is when you pay someone (usually not that much) to send an email to their mailing list about you and your website.

      Make sure your opt-in form on your squeeze page is above the fold (can be seen as soon as the page loads without having to scroll down) and that your squeeze page has some compelling copy with some sort of free incentive to join like a free eBook or report.

      You usually buy a certain number of clicks, and with $1000 you could buy a lot of targeted traffic through this method alone. Your list would grow fast if you have a well constructed squeeze page.

    You can build up a good and responsive list over 1000 using forum marketing and squidoo. It will take longer but you'll come out ahead on the money. But since you need to do it in 14 days you would have to work constantly. So if you're going to spend the money, then do a good solo ad blast. Also guest blogging is another free way to do it.

    Try creating a quality product that you could sell as a WSO at a good price. Then you can collect a good email list of buyers and get some money back too.
