    Oh, that's an easy one :)

    1. Have a great product
    2. Have a great looking and inviting website
    3. Showcase your benefits well
    4. Be unique!

    Easy, huh ;)

    Actually, the fastest way to get subscribers would be to pay them for joining. Probably not practical, but it would be fast! ;)

    Give them something in bonus or something premium for free.

    To narrow down the answer to a specific, may I request the OP to give us what kind of service is being offered?
    Thank you.

    It should be how to reach the targeted people and guide them about the benefits of your services as well as building relationship with them.

    Practical and fast but should not go in that process just to have sign up for the services. A double edge sword would give so much pain in the pocket :D

    Ouch.

    Depends on the service you are offering. But most of the time, giving something free for free is the way.

    Well, I was being a bit flip with my response, but let me explain it a bit further. When I offer a premium or something else of value to get leads, subscribers, etc., I make sure that it is relevant to my products/services and would not be of interest to anyone but a qualified prospect. For example, when my sales teams do trade shows, we occasionally offer what I call "targeted premiums." What I mean by that is if my product is a widget, I offer x% off of the purchase of a widget or a free extra widget module or free support for a purchased widget, etc. Were we just to give away an iPad to everyone who signs up, we would be swamped with leads/subscribers who had no interest in what we were selling, but just wanted the iPad. By offering to "pay" a qualified prospect for signing up with us with something only of interest to a qualified prospect, we eliminate most of the downsides to paying.

    Likewise, "targeted payments" for people to sign up for the OP's services could work well for him.

    The best way to dragging customers to sign up click is providing something useful as free at beginning

    Spend 80% of your time preach about the value your product/service offers, and how it solves your target market's problems & pain points.

    Those sign-ups are pretty much worthless as they are not targeted at all. They join because they want the quick money, not because they are potentially interested in your products / services. They are not likely to convert into paying customers in future.

    I'd say you add an optin to your site and give away something as a bonus/freebies to download in exchange for their email addresses (But, make sure it's related and helpful to your niche e.g. we're a graphics company and we give away HD graphics when peops join our mailing list). That's a proven strategy most of popular IM's today like Neil Patel does.

    This would definitely work. It's giving away money that I doubt.

    As already suggested here, easy to navigate website and something straight to the point / order button! What are you actually selling?

    You obviously did not read my follow up post on this thread that clarified my position...

    The best way to attract people to a service is to have a free service or product to capture their attention to your main product or service. For an example, if you were starting a back linking service, you could offer a one time free (or heavily discounted) coupon for your service to get people going and talking about it. The thing is, if your service is good enough people will share it and it won't take long before it kicks off. You can't get anything better than free stuff!
