Step 1: Get a Virus To Build Your List

In order for you to build a 50k opt in email list in 90 days, you need to spread your marketing message over internet like a wild fire. The method that is best capable of doing this is known as viral marketing. Viral marketing, in its simplest meaning, is getting others to market your product or service for you and spreading it to others so that they can do same also. I also call this wild fire marketing because as soon as your marketing message starts, it will be very difficult to stop it and to keep it from spreading across internet like a wild forest fire. This is type of response you want when you begin to grow your email list. And only way for you to generate this type of response is to partner up with hundreds of other marketers that will help you promote your email list in return for something. This is known as joint venturing and it is one of better strategies for building a huge email list. Located below is a free service that will help you combine viral marketing component with joint venture marketing component in order to rapidly grow your email opt in list.

Step 2: Start Promoting Your Viral List Building Machine

1. Keep your subscription form easy to find on every web page. Preferably, add it on your navigational bar. If form is to large for bar or page, add a hyperlink and send them to a popup or a separate page so that previous page on your site doesn't disappear. It is easy for them to return.

2. Not only must form be easy to see, it also needs to be easy to read. Label each field. I've seen a few where I didn't know what to enter. Be kind to computer readers suffering from dry eyes, make font large and easy to read.

3. Do you write your own ezine articles? Add a "please subscribe here line to your byline. Begin line with a benefit they get from subscribing and then add a few invitational words along with a URL hyperlink. Example: "Learn more about this topic. Subscribe to [name of your ezine] by visiting...."

4. Generally, people are impulse buyers. So, give them that impulse. Give away a free ebook. Instead of letting them see that ebook is free. Regularly charge for eBook. Six dollars is a good price, just explain them that it is a limited special offer.

They will perceive it even more valuable when there is a price connected to it. An example of wording could go like, "Normally this ebook sells for $6 at [your web site URL or even a middle man ebook site]." Always give them a reason why you are giving it to them free. Make reason believable.

5. Do you belong to networking groups, or attend other events? Invite everyone you meet if they would like to register for your ezine. Give them a story about free, but not so free, ebook offer. Always, make this offer limited. In fact, have a list of these free but-not-free ebooks, written either by you, affiliates, or from resale right products. Move them around. Put one on calendar for January through December and then repeat them next year. Then in third year, change it. Also, share with them how easy it is to opt-out if they don't like ezine and they can keep ebook.
