    theres lots of free information on this forum around list building so take a look around

    theres tonnes of IM blogs where you can learn lots too, you just have to spend some time learning the basics, then take some action and get stuck in.

    the best way to learn is to "just do it"

      The important thing with list building is that you dont just build a list for the sake of a list just to send offer after offer.

      You should begin with a reason for building that list. It might be a regular newsletter to keep your subscribers informed about all the latest news, tips, products and advise. Once you have that reason and several follow up emails all ready written the best place to start the list is..
      1. Create a free but valuable report to be used as a giveaway.
      2. Create a squeeze page with an optin form
        in exchange for the free report.
      3. Promote the squeeze page to the people in your niche. This is the hardest part of course but the simple answer is you need to hang out in all the places your people hang out and advertise your squeeze page. I am talking about relevant forums, Facebook pages, Twitter and various other social media. Just communicate with these people, no spam and the trickle of visitors to your squeeze page will grow into a flow once the word gets around about your valuable giveaway. If you are in the IM niche you could create a freebie WSO in exchange for their subscription to your list.
      I have a case study currently under way about building a list from scratch, check it out in my sig if you wish.

      This. Take some quality time to read all of the FREE information here, ask questions but also take action. Build a website, offer a free giveaway, and give valuable information to your subscribers and you'll succeed

    if youre brand new to IM then its going to take a little bit of time to learn the basics...

    look around on this forum...ask questions...people are always willing to help and share what they have learned...

    Find what fits you...and test it out...

    some do good with affiliate offers, some mlm, some make their own products....

    there is a lot of information and may take longer for some to find what they are good at...

    ...but once you find it you will know...apply what youve learned and kill it...

    ...good luck to you

    Face it, you aren't going to be able to build a big list unless you do one of two things, no, three things:

    1) Build up your site organically. Ranking up your keywords so you can get more traffic through the search engines.

    2) Submit your subscription through social media sites with a great, catchy, intro.

    3) Buy it from some of the guys here. Most of the people on the WF have already built big lists that they will charge a fee for your submission.

    I see all kinds of tips to build a big list online, and even on here too. But you're not going to get anything unless you have one of these three things. The basic point is to have your subscription link in front of as many people as you can. I think this is the only way to do it.

    There is a process to your build list, it is not an overnight job. First of all, you need to find your own niche. Base on your niche area, you then need to come out with a squeeze page and then attract people to subscribe to your page by giving away Freebies ....

    I would agree with most posts above, take a look around here for list building techniques. Really there are 3 steps... 1. Get an auto responder 2. Create a squeeze page 3. SEND TRAFFIC.. that really is it! You need a free product most of the time to get quality traffic. But those are easy to find. Look into a cheap training program like Digital Bankroll by Matthew Neer! It's where i learned everything i know. Hope this helped

    Just to add up to what Steve Crooks and Wade32 have mentioned, our clients are ordering two types of e-books or reports - a short and long version of the same e-book/report. They use the short version to create a list. That short version has very powerful information that will make the member buy the long version of the e-book or report.

    So two things can be achieved with that strategy:
    1. build a list
    2. sell your ebook/report

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks.
    1) Get a domain
    2) Hosting
    3) Build a Website/Squeeze Page
    4) Auto Responder
    5) Build a Blog
    6) Get Traffic to your Squeeze Page (Solo Ads, Forum Marketing, Ads Swap, send Newsletter to your subscribers, Article, etc.)

    Focus on building list.

    Only look for the source to help you to bring in quality subscriber to your squeeze page.

    Wish you have a success journey

    You will need a squeeze page and an autoresponder.

    After which you can start driving traffic to your squeeze page.

    There you go, you'll hav your list. I'd recommend a weber or getresponse for autoresponder.

    1. Gather up the best information collecting dust on your hard drive

    2. Use this as inspiration to write up a report that can really help someone take their online business efforts to the next level

    3. Give the report, video series etc away for FREE!

    4. Follow up with your subscriber list by continually giving outstanding and relevant information to build up a relationship with them.

    5. Use subtle ways to direct them to OUTSATNDING AFFILIATE OFFERS that will benefit them and help them build a successful web buisiness of their own.

    6. Aim to promote affiliate offers that charge monthly subscriptions to enable you to keep being paid month after month.

    Hope this helps in anyway and all the best!!!
