List building cost money..
I still remember the thought of having to pay like $30 a month for Autoresponder services just to build list..
Hey, when you’re making less than a hundred dollars a month, that is a princely sum.
If you’re feeling the same, I’m glad you’re reading this right now cos… I’ll leave the juicy part for later.
Let’s answer the urgent question first.
How to effectively build your list without having to spend 1 month putting up a website.
First Step:
First and foremost, you’ll need a Squeeze Page or Optin Page
This is where you articulate your benefits or reasons for your audience to optin (hand you their name and email.)
Second Step:
You’ll also need a sequential Autoresponder service
This is the “Auto-Responding” email message service that allows you to queue a sequence of email messages for your subscribes once they opted-in.
The autoresponder service also provides you with the optin form code to paste in your squeeze page.
(You’ll have to create an autoresponder and generate the code after logging in to your autoresponder account)
So now you don’t have to be glued to your computer 24/7 just to welcome your new subscribers.
The power of this Autoresponder service is 2 fold, every time someone subscribes, your list “grows” and it allows you to contact these subscribers of yours when you’ve got some update to share. And you could load in an unlimited nos of email messages to keep in touch with your subscribers.
Some ideas of what content you can send them:
You can include good contents, updates and links in the sequenced messages for your subscribers to : download a free reports, read your sales page, your blog, an affiliate link and etc.
Once someone subscribed, they will be added to this autoresponder’s database. These database of subscribers collectively becomes contactable individuals in your “list”.
You can have multiple list in your autoresponder, eg one for birdwatching, cooking, internet marketing and etc.

Third Step
Drive Traffic to your Squeeze Page
I’m sure you can find plenty of resources here for traffic generation.
But for completeness, here are some channels I’ve personally used:
- Blogs (commenting, trackbacks, blog directories)
- Forums (in signature links)
- Article submissions (to articles directories)
- Social Bookmarking (Sharing your social bookmarks with sites like del.icio.us)
- Video Sharing/Submission (Create niche related video and post it to video sharing site with a backlink… url in description is important.)

- Video Squeeze Page (Ready Made - Improved Optin Rate)

Once you’ve got your list building system in place, it’s time to generate some targeted traffic to your squeeze page!
A final note:
Some autoresponders services are strict on enforcing “double optin” which means subscribers will need to click on a link in an email sent by your autoresponder service before they are added to your list. This result in a list that is usually smaller than if you used single optins, but it also means that it rid of “fake” emails account
“Single optin” doesn’t require that, your list will seems to grow at a faster rate but the flip side is that there might be more junk email address than real subscribers.
Here’s a challenge, Target to get your first 100 subscribers at the end of 1 month period, if you use single optin
(or 50 subscribers if you use double optin)
InstantMillionaireTools can be set to both single or double optin. And It’s free for 3 Months!
By then, you should be profitable… if you are using the Gold Rush System
