Building subs using keyword rich sites?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to build my subscriber list from 2300 to 5000 quickly but well (i.e. the right people). I'm NOT looking to sell them anything but rather go the route of a daily site like "Geek Chic Daily" and sell advertising to bigger companies.

Many in these niches (daily emails with advertising revenue) buy subscribers using CPA networks but because my niche is online sellers (mostly marketplace sellers like those selling on Etsy) it may not be the best route. Also, I don't have unlimited funds and monthly budgets for buying subs.

I notice a lot here are making money from building sites that have good keywords and then driving the traffic to affiliate offers (I think that's what you're doing anyway).

Do you think that's something I should/could do in order to build my subscriber base? For example, if I had a site called "sell-your-art.com" that ranked #1 on google for sell your art, and then explained what my site offered via email and then had the opt-in box, would that be a good/cheap way to drive subscribers?

thanks in advance!

    Yes this is something that you could do. Make a good free report or offer to get subscribers to sign up once they reach your site. Sometimes you have to consider "time vs. money" though because "time is money". Time is a resource just like money is.

    Thanks for your answer Mike. Would you mind explaining more about how it works.

    For example, I see a lot of people here saying they set these sites up in "3 hours" and were making $200 a day after that (again, not wanting to earn cash but rather build my subscriber base).

    So other than picking the keywords, buying domains and setting up a simple site, what more needs to be done?

    Do Warriors do this for hire if my time was worth more than doing it myself since I'd be slower/may not do the SEO properly etc.?
