    I am actually looking at stock market investments - I am not a broker or something, but I used to work for a telemarketing firm and I find it very profitable. - Do you think I can have a list with that?

    Having a list is always a very wise decision. The best way is to put together an optin page -lead capture page and offer them something of value for free. In exchange for your offer, they give you their email/name and you can follow up with them over time. Remember to build a relationship up front before you try and throw alot of stuff at them.

    exactly!

    A list can be worth a fortune. Just remember to attract people for your list, who are relevant to your business. Else the list will not be much worth for you.

    Put up a wordpress website with its main page/home page being a squeeze page offering some ebook, videos etc that you can create based upon your knowledge of your niche that you think can be considered of value by your visitors, and you can post some original articles in your site for SERPS, and drive traffic to it.

    You can also offer some stuff in hard form, meaning CDs etc that you can send by mail to your visitors who optin for you and give their address too provided your niche is such that you can use this method in it.

    And finally, always use single optin when targeting other non IM niches.

    You have to give something away for free and follow up with more promotions.

    You have a couple of options 1. You can put up a squeeze page and offer a product such as an ebook for free. You will also need to get an autoresponder.
    2. Also try joint venture partnerships... some forums offer JVP deals with members... though I'm not sure if they have that here. 3. you can rent a list from a broker... just make sure its opt-in or double opt-in

    In building up your list, be sure to separate them according to what category or filed they belong so you can easily identify what stuff and product to offer them. It is important that the product you'll going to offer to them is of something accentuated with their passion and profession.

    Having a website is very essential for ones business especially when it is an online business.

    domains are $7.99 per year and hosting is $4.99 per month. You will see more success with having your own website and building your list with that.

    I suggest you try hostgator or hostmonster. Anyway here's a list of the Best 10 Web Hosting Sites updated November 12, 2010. http://www.webhostingchoice.com/

    How much money are you willing to invest? You have to buy an account from any autoresponder sites as well for the optin.

    Ohh.. It really depends. I need money this month for I'll be having a new baby girl. I might be able to invest a couple of hundred bucks - not sure.:(

    I already have an account in imnicamail, I heard it's not that good-I'm just starting though so, it's ok if it is.

    Thank you man!
