    it depends on your time frame...but i would say the quickest would be solo ads, quality might not be up to par, but it depends on the list it will be marketed to and what the swipe copy says.

    Create a product or guide, then create a squeeze page.

    Promote that link on your signature on here for starters.

    Then use solo ads to build up a small list of say 1000, then do some ad swaps.

    Create a Facebook page, and create an application in a html frame with another opt-in and do some Facebook marketing by commenting on other walls and post your link.

    Create a Facebook ad campaign promoting that App.

    There are loads of ways, but its like a snowball. You have to start it off and then watch it grow quickly.

    This is a time vs. money proposition. The fastest way to build a list is through paid traffic and through paid email adverts. The cheapest way is to create a squeeze page and signup to every forum in your niche and put the squeeze page link in your signature. Then, contribute and add value to those communities and you'll build a list naturally.

    look, your focus should not be the size but the quality and the relationship you have with them.

    but, if you want to build a quality email list, I would suggest you to use SOLO ADS & blog commenting, believe it or not but blog commenting is very powerful and it's free

    solo ads can be purchased at safe-swaps.com

    but really, focus on the relationship and you would make $100 per month with 100 subscribers only.

      I do use PPV for list building, but its not easy to convert.

      You need to choose a really broad niche, something like SweepStakes, or Debt. And then you can market those products. You will find it extremely hard to get people opting in to the IM niche.

    oh we do use PPV to build a list, but I wouldn't suggest that as a begginer, especially if you don't understand the meaning of building a list yet.

    if you interested, try Trafficvance :: Advanced Display & Text Link Traffic | Home

    a word of warning though, it will require testing.

    I would suggest Solo Ads for quick results. But make sure you have a perfect sales funnel that converts and treat your list as real human beings not as ATM machines.

    I'm not sure, but whatever it is, I'm pretty sure it isn't going to be a way I'd want to build a list, myself.

    In 8 different, unrelated niches over nearly 4 years, now, one thing I've learned repeatedly is that quality, relevance and accurate targeting are everything in list-building. Fast approaches to large numbers are far less valuable.

    Even just from split-testing various squeeze pages, I've always found that smaller, slower, more highly targeted lists seem to produce significantly more income in the long run.

    As in so many other aspects of internet marketing, measuring by "numbers of people" and "speed" tends to produce the opposite results and conclusions from measuring by money in the bank.

    But personally, it really is better to focus on QUALITY and building a really good relationship with those subscribers. The numbers will continue to grow. But focus on value first. And infuse your personality into EVERY email.

        There is a WP plugin called list eruption that I am going to try. It encourages your optins for referrals in exchange for freebies. I am trying to integrate it with WP autoresponder. It has hooks for all the major optin services.

    Just want to share base on my experience also, if your target niche is internet marketing and SEO. And you're giving away a product, many of those who are going to download your product will use an email that they are not checking or reading messages. They created this emails for the purpose of getting freebies given by other internet marketers.

      You will find that theory applies to every niche. If you can get their Facebook email tho then you have a great chance of them opening your emails. Theres a few ways to get that like plugins and apps etc.

        I agree and I love this idea, if you can connect your squeeze page to their facebook account the conversion rate is for sure higher.

      That is why you deliver the freebie with your autoresponder. If they use a throw away they don't get to the prize.

      I think giving freebies as a 4-5 day eCourse would be much more effective as interested prospects would have to submit an email address that they use regularly in order to gain access to the information given. Plus that gives us the chance to build up some rapport with them.

      Obviously you are always going to get unsubscribers, but thats business. I'd definitely choose Free eCourses over reports any day as I feel the opportunity of retaining leads is much greater.

      That's my 2 cents anyway :p

    one of the fastest ways to build an email list is using solo ads, i proved that by building over 1000 in only a few weeks on my case study and generated a lot of buyers too while doing it

    you could even quite easily build a list of 500 overnight

    that being said, the most important part of building a list is the free information or offer which you give away to build your list

    if it`s very high quality then you stand much more of a chance of your subscribers wanting
    to hear from you a lot more

    of course it does take a while to build trust etc with your subscribers so that they buy your stuff but giving away killer free info will fast track this process by about 500%

    it is possible to build a list fast but by no means should you forget all other principles when doing so otherwise your just sacrificing speed for quality and your list will be worthless

    For sure the fastest way to do it would be solo ads,do a JV with someone who has a big list already otherwise it will take you money and time ..

    It is important to build a big list as fast as possible.

    But it's also important to know that there's going to be a return on the time/money investment. Might be worth trying any of the above methods but testing them first on smaller amounts at a time before spending a ton of money on something you can't profit from.

    A bit like MrMonetize said about PPV.

    Someone like Traffic Vance want $1000 to get started and if you can't get it to convert... that's a mistake you only make once

    I would start with Solo Ads and build a list to 200 or so, then do some ad swaps, a JV giveaway and when you get more progressed go into PPV and the other more complex list building techniques. Your first step is to write some powerful giveaway content, in a video or PDF so that you can get subscribers onto your list for a bribe. You can also add the link to your opt in page in your signature in forums in the niche you want to work in. Then go out a start commenting. The speed will depend on the budget you have to build the list.

    There are three major ways you can build an email list of 5,000 subscribers fast:

    1) Solo Ads
    2) Adswap
    3) Launching a 100% Commission Product
