  • Good idea here will be - SEARH warrior forum. And again make research here.
    Really... you will find all answers to your questions
  • You need to find a niche that has hungry buyers.

    Once you found your niche put up a squeeze page and offer something of value that will cure or alleviate a problem in that niche.

    In exchange for this ask for their email address.

    A simple way to promote your website is:

    Finding forums in your niche that offer signature links just like this one.

    So in summary...

    Find your niche first, put up your website with the email opt-in and then learn how to drive traffic to your site.

    Hope this helps.

  • If you want to build your list fast, hook up with relevant and good JV partners. And get them to promote your offer. The leverage a good JV partner can offer you is truly tremendous.

    But you have to get all your fundamentals in place first. That means, you must put in effort to form a relationship, create good products that will add massive value and also provide a strong monetary incentive (high commission).

    Combing a script like Rapid Action Profits (by Sid Hale) together with 100% commission will be a great way to start.

    • First thing you need is a autoresponder I recommend Aweber or Getresponse, I am actually going to switch over to Aweber since they are a little more user friendly.

      Next you need to have something to offer your "future" customer, a ebook, course, video , report ect..

      You want something to give to entice them to give you there name and email. You need to create a squeeze page with your offer and really should create 2 of them and test them both to see what one converts better, then apply tweaks and constantly keep tracking and tweaking for better conversions.

      Use google analytics on your squeezpages to track your stats.

      If you do not know how to create a squeeze page you can hire a fellow warrior to have it done here Warriors For Hire or you can outsource it at guru.com or getafreelancer.com or others.

      you then want to have follow up emails so you can build a good relationship with your list and send out your offers, once you have built a good size responsive list you be able to literally print out money on demand with a single email.

      You also want to have to lists one of buyers in that niche and one of the freebies, this will allow you to send out to the proven buyers list that will most likely buy from you again.

      To get everything up and running you will need a good hosting company I use hostgator and recommend them, I pay $14.95 a month for the business package but all you need is the baby which is like $9.95 and allows you to host unlimited domains.

    • Anybody see the irony in the fact that that site doesn't have an optin form on the site?

  • Yea I think Selecting a niche would be the very first step before anything else. And make sure the niche is something people are actually searching for.
  • I am newbie here..but as i have been in Digital point for a while...I got a place which you can give your hot Niche for free(freebie part) and then ask them to put their names and emails in that site.. also in this forum also you could make a Free WSO to gain list.

    another way to make a huge list...as i made one in that part is using Jv giveaway product sites and mostly as the Christmas comes go to christmas giveaway sites and put your niche product there...and if you are active there you will get huge traffic and huge names and emails after and after...just by these site...be sure.
    take action now.

    • Most JV Giveaways are people looking for freebies.. build a freebie list that is what they will expect.. Everything Free ...

    • I must be very naive... I thought the WSO (read: Warrior Special Offer, as in you are offering something special for the warriors ) was to benefit the WF members. Special pricing, for example.

      Now every second new member is coming here and in the best "blind leading the blind"-manner giving each other advice about how to abuse the WSO and WF.

      Am I the only one who doesn't like this kind of posts???
      Maybe I am not...

  • Just curious to know,anyone tried phplist.com for list building software ? It's not like other list software but it's open-source & free.

  • Hi Anndox,

    If you just follow the basic rule of economics, i.e. Supply & Demand, people are looking for something, you have the solution to their problems and you give it to them. Just like all the others have stated though, it is not as simple as shoving your product in their faces, you have to build a relationship with people and this is done in several ways:

    Get on the social networking sites and start building relationships
    Use forums to find out the questions people are asking and if you can supply the answers to them
    Most important of all, under promise and over deliver. Give something of value to people for FREE, this is the KEY to getting them to opt-in to your site.
    Once they have done this, continue to nurture your list and find out what they are actually wanting and needing
    Once you do this, you subtly start to sell your products, and continue to upsell to your list.

    The main thing is to get them on the list in the first place so start using social networking, blogging, squidoo, hub pages etc promoting your FREE gifts followed by your website.

    Hope this helps you at least a wee bit.

    Good luck for now

  • It sounds to me that you need to get a few more priorities in place first.
    You want to build a list but you cannot build or upload a squeeze page!

    If you cannot master a squeeze page then how do you build your site(s)?
    If you do not have a site what are your plans for your subscribers?

    Can you be more specific as to what your plans are, because the way I see it is you need to go back to the beginning and set yourself up to the point where you are able and ready to build and maintain a mailing list.

    Do not run before you can walk. (friendly advice)
    Good luck

  • I found a script that allows me to put a slide up opt -in form on any web site. I have it hosted on my site. I am using it on a free report. I began building this list less than 48 hours ago and I have 5 on it now.

    What are some other places one might utilize this script?
  • Thanks for the advice guys, I will Try to take it all on board. I think Dave was spot on though, I am trying to run before I can walk. Merry Christmas everyone
  • Well you can start with the basics...

    A sign-up form, an offer, and traffic.

    It won't be built quickly but if you can throw
    in a lot of traffic and an irresistible offer,
    people might just sign-up..
  • Here's a good way to learn.

    • I agree with building futures.

      Join the War Room.. there you have a lot of free ebooks about Building Email List.. JV and other things.

      When we think about building list.. you will need a good reason for them to join your list and some traffic.

      Try article marketing, blog commenting, forum signatures.

      PPC Ads for the Squeeze Page.

      Buil an interesting Squeeze Page.. give them some Money Magnet... some Free Content (can be audio, video or ebook).

  • I do believe that whilst the bigger the number the better, the relationship that you have with your list is the most important aspect.

    I would definitely prefer a list of 100 people who are raving fans about my product than a list of a 300 people that I've just send a couple of autoresponder emails and have had no real contact with.

  • You should probably take a list building course that has a responsive support team. That way you can learn what they have to teach but you can ask questions about the process if you get stuck.

    • List building is easy if you use JV's.

      To find out how I went from Zero to 4 Million customers in just 30 days listen to my JV audio teleseminar that I'm now giving away for FREE.

      It should help you...

  • Try to use some unique software to track your potential vistors or attract them to sign up in your website.Those who have signed up are all targeted customers and deserve you to spend time and energy on them.Then you will have your subscriber list.Of course,this is the first step.Still you need to try other ways to develop your list such as joining in related forum.If your business is not very big,it's wise for you to build your list manually first.
