The Simplest Way To Build A Large List From Scratch
How to Build Large Email Marketing Lists Fast:
1. Set up a way to capture a list
First you need to have an auto-responder where you can collect your list and chase up with them. If you utilise a credible auto-responder they will look after the legal side of things for you so you are not making any mistakes that might put your email marketing lists at stake.
You also need some kind of REASON for folks to sign up to your email marketing lists. I usually recommend starting with a special offer which will teach your leads ways to do something that’s related to your niche.
You can write an easy e-book, or make a training video and give it away for free in return for someone’s email address. If that sounds just like a lot of work, don’t worryyou can actually get rights to market somebody else’s PDF.
2. Start Your First List
Once you’re all set-up with an offer you want to drive people to it. The absolute BEST way I’ve found to get your list going with a big bang is to line up a Solo-ad.
A Solo-ad is to all intents and purposes paying folk with massive email marketing lists to send out a straightforward email to their list endorsing that they pick up your freebie offer. Sometimes you are coughing up for a guaranteed number of folks visiting your website, and if you have a good offer that converts well you can have hundreds on your list from merely a couple well positioned Solos.
The reason these adverts work so well is perhaps because you are receiving carefully targeted traffic from your niche, who have demonstrated that they actually OPEN their emails! You also are being endorsed by somebody they usually know and trust, so you commence with a list that really wants to hear from you.
The best resource for your Solo Adverts (and Ad-swaps) is Safe Swaps, you see confirmed numbers of how many clicks these solo ad sellers are sending their clients, and also reviews of the folks that have most recently worked with them.

3. Grow, grow, grow
Once you have even a couple hundred folks joining your email marketing lists it gets simpler as more doors are open to you.
If you’re short on selling money you can do Ad-swaps. Find some other person with an identical size list and make them send out a solo email in exchange for you doing the same. Anytime you need an additional big boost get a paid solo in.
You can search for marketing pros with similar list size and see their adswap reviews in Safe Swaps as well.
This strategy of building email marketing lists can take you from zero to a listing of thousands in a surprisingly short space of time.
