Ok guys i think i am a little behind the times and i have not started list building, what tips and advice do you have for me?

I have done the following:
  • Created an opt in page - giving away a free eBook
  • When a user submits they will also have a chance to win a prize
  • have social buttons so users can share

Anything else i should be doing?

      For learning purposes i have started with mailchimp as it does not cost anything for up to 2,000. So i thought to myself why pay now when i don't need to

    Db,
    First, I have heard not so good things about mail chimp. They end up in the junk folders quite a bit for one and if I remember right, moving your list is no easy task when you want to switch.Aweber is offering a 30 day trial for $1. It sounds like you are on the right track with the free book and the prize. How are you driving traffic to the opt in page?

    You're going to have to get it out somehow, unless the website is drawing that much traffic. Possibly some ppc ads or pop ups or on your facebook or twitter sites.

      I absolutely agree with this post. To get more traffic you can use social networking and bookmarking sites.

    From what I read and heard, safe swaps is probably one of the best ways to build a list.

      Not necessarily the best way, but definitely one of the fastest. But you need to have at least 300-500 subs to do this method, otherwise no one will want to do adswaps with you.
