How possible is this? I have a couple of blogs in a number of niches and wish to start list building. Any pointers?

    Depends on the niches. MMO is easy to build lists in, but they don't tend to be worth as much.

    If you're willing to spend some money on advertising and put in good work then a 10k list is possible, won't be able to do it by the end of the year without paid advertising though I don't think.

      How much money do you think is required?

        Depends how you do it. If you do it with solo ads then it depends on how good the vendor is and how much they charge. You can often get signups for $0.40, so for 10k it could be up to $4k if you did it with solo ads.

        There are other ways to make lists of course, but solos are pretty "in" right now.

          Thanks for the insight. What is the best free method currently?

            There isn't one, objective, "best" free method.

            It depends on your own skills.

            It's however you're best suited to attract targeted free traffic to your opt-in page. What you're really asking there is "What's the best way of getting free traffic?" and there are hundreds of threads here answering that question (but the answer still depends on your own skills!): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8518801

    Are you asking about an income of $10k per month, within a year? I certainly didn't manage that, and although I don't doubt it's possible, I think it's extremely ambitious and that the proportion of people who achieve it, from a standing start, must be terribly small. :confused:

    But if you mean "having accumulated a total income of $10k+" over the year, then the answer's definitely yes.

    In general, it always seems to me that people greatly overestimate what they can achieve quickly, but also greatly underestimate what they can achieve gradually.
