How to Build Huge Email Lists

One of the biggest problems facing those of you just starting your newsletter or ezine is getting enough subscribers to make it worth your while.

Well, if you've ever wondered how a lot of the bigger ezines got those huge lists, the answer is simple. They bought them. There are some great services out there that will get the subscribers for you. One of them that I use is 'worldwidelists.com'. You can determine how much you want to pay per subscriber, rates can vary from 15 cents per subscriber up to over 30 cents per subscriber. I recommend paying 15 cents per subscriber and having the check box to your ezine pre-checked. You also want to make sure you use the double opt in feature. This guarantees the subscribers have actually requested to receive your ezine. I average about 30-60 new subscribers each and every day using Worldwidelists. It's a great way to build a substantial ezine subscriber base in a short time. Make sure that when you send out your confirmation to your new subscribers you mention that they signed up at 'worldwidelists.com'. Also make sure you get the first issue out to them quick. It's a great idea to put a few back issues on an autoresponder so the new subscribers can get a quick feel for your newsletter and will cut down on the unsubscribes. I've found the quality of subscribers from services such as this to be only marginally less effective than if someone came to your web site and subscribed. You've always wondered how the big lists get so many subscribers. This is one of the ways.
