    Hey,

    How do people generate opt-in email lists?

    I know someone who does email marketing, fully within spam can regulations and everything and has like a 2 million opt-in email list.

    How do you get into that?

    you build squeeze page, and ask for visitor's email by giving away something for free, like free ebook.. after a while you will have a list of opt-in subscriber

    Make as many offers as you can just by providing email and name.
    You can then categories emails with the help of there interests.
    Building a quality list is not so simple

    You will need to develop a squeeze page to capture the name and ady...
    And an auto responder service to handle the replys and subscription information....use a double optin system...

    Find a really large forum in your targeted niche - approach the owner of the forum about having a give-away. You put up the prizes. To enter the drawing, members just need to send in their email address list with the agreement that they will be put on a mailing list.

    The drawing I have on my forum right now, has got the sponsor almost 800 new email addresses. And he still has a week left for people to enter.

    Free give-aways that ask for the eamil address first are a common way to achieve that. Set up a good Auto-responder first eg AWeber.

    there are many ways to get subscribers into your website. To create opt in email list, you should have readers in your web first that routinely come to see your content. Then to turn them into subscribers, you should join with auto-responder and can create squeeze page that offers a free bonus if they want to join your list. You may create or find an ebook that suitable with your website niche.

    Besides you can also create a project about how much subscriber that you want to get in freelance website and give the task to the bidder. Choose the best one so that you will get maximum result and appropriate with your budget. This can be an alternative way if you want to get fast. But you should check the result first after the work done, you can try to track your email newsletter about the respond of your subscribers.

    If you sign up with aweber, get a response, or mail chimp, they will all give you great methods to building a good opt in list.

    My personal favorite method to building a strong opt in list is the giveaway. Give away things like ebooks or videos that really don't cost much but can be seen as very valuable to others.

    Are you kidding me?? An Opt-In list with 2 million people, come on that has to be a joke, only a company like Google would have that many. I know some guys with a list of 200,000, but they have been building them for like 10 years. Any ways you build a squeeze page, that offers some kind of free product, then tell them to put their names and email address in there, then they get the free product. When I first started out I checked YouTube to watch exactly how to do this this. Youtube is great place to learn the basics of Internet Marketing. Just type in "Build a Squeeze Page"

    2 millions does sound fishy.. there may be gray hat marketing involved.. or "list swap" that is when trade with another list owner and get opt in through partnership marketing... it is doable... then if you take out a banner ads and give something away for free you could sign up 1000s emails over night.. it is possible .. just saying
