To do this you need a Squeeze page, or multiple squeeze pages which collect the email addresses in exchange for an incentive. there are main 2 tips I would give you. - Don't mess around and spend loads of time on making capture pages on websites, unless you are very familiar with the whole set up. Also - steer clear of any email capture page "freebie" offers, there is usually a catch. You can create unlimited capture pages as required using this system for a single subscription: http://www.instantcapturepage.com/mysite/1372 2. Use a reputable email management company such as Aweber, or Get response. Again, it is subscription based, but if you want a quality, reliable system, you get what you pay for. It's risky spending time, effort and expense building a list on free offers, as there are always strings attached, and the list isn't necessarily always under your control regards Karen The first step is to get people who are interested in your niche to give you their email addresses.

]]> Comment on Do you know where I can get a free or discounted (Email list)addresses? by endorphin_boy415 http://free-email-list.com/2009/08/do-you-know-where-i-can-get-a-free-or-discounted-email-listaddresses/comment-page-1/#comment-26 endorphin_boy415 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:04:59 +0000 http://free-email-list.com/2009/08/do-you-know-where-i-can-get-a-free-or-discounted-email-listaddresses/#comment-26 It looks like you have some good leads for some free e-mail addresses, but I question your shotgun approach to marketing. You would be better off investing in a select list of e-mail addresses of people who have an interest in your product or have demonstrated a propensity to purchase similar products. Sure, it will cost you more than just a random list of names and addresses, but you will find that your marketing efforts will be so much more effective. There is a reason why traditional advertising on network television is on the wane - it's because marketers realize that it is more effective to air their commercials on the cable networks that better target their customers. Sure, they're reaching few total viewers, but the viewers they ARE reaching are more likely to have an interest in their products. You should consider taking the same approach to marketing your product. Target your message. Just sending your message to a bunch of e-mail addresses seems like a waste of time. It's like picking up a phone book and calling everyone in the book. Your time would be better spent if you knew exactly which people in the phone book have already expressed an interest in your type of product. I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but hopefully it will let you reconsider your marketing strategy.<br><b>References : </b><br> It looks like you have some good leads for some free e-mail addresses, but I question your shotgun approach to marketing.

The two biggest, I think, are Yahoo! and Google A few free resources – check out the sources box for links: 1) Create a blog pertaining to your field 2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one! 3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise. 4) Advertise on Craiglist Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission.

In fact, if you're talking about making money online, I'd hint at ways that you could do it which are easy or at the very least intriguing. Since you're touting yourself as a subject matter expert, you need to demonstrate that what you have to say is valuable and they can benefit from it. Success stories are good for this and will improve your chances that they will stay tuned. Other ways to build opt-ins are referrals (ask subscribers to refer a friend), an incentive of some kind, purchase an email list (this is kind of a gray area), or find a partner who might already have a decent list and sponsor them. Also, since you run a blog, are you fully syndicated? There's a lot of chatter out there and at the very least you should participate in boosting your blog's reputation.<br><b>References : </b><br> The best way to sign people up and keep them coming is useful, original content that is always fresh and updated.
