    Nowhere.

    If I have a great targeted email list, why would I sell it to you for a couple of hundred bucks, if I can make thousands off of it?

    You can try list brokers, but I doubt the quality will be of any good.

    Most of these so called lists you can buy are useless .. I have tried a few in the past and they just don't deliver. best thing to do is build YOUR OWN mailing list ..... another option is to approach people you know that build lists and ask them directly how much they would charge to send out a message for you ... make sure they are reputable of course .. hope that helps.

    Yes, you need to be creative in getting leads. The free report is a good one but as you'll find it's being done by everyone so it's less effective than it used to be. You can offer things like membership to a protected site for free as that has more perceived value.

    Other than that, focus on things like ad swaps to increase your list size rapidly. List building is not easy - even if you have money to invest in a list it still takes time to build a good, responsive list.

    hi,

    You can offer useful e-books or services to attract people to sign up for your newsletter.

    you can use ezine solo ads

    you will buy advertising space

    from the list owner and your ad

    will be the only ad to go out.

    Besides ad swaps, what are some other effective list-building techniques?

    Acquiring lists of people for email is a quick way to get banned from being able to get your email delivered.. take the advice of Diginic here and build a list of people who want to hear from you.

    Acquire some sites in your area of interest and offer something free (as said before) or a service (like listing their site on your own) to get people to opt in to an email list.

    Also a secret way that "Gurus" build huge lists are through Joint Ventures. Each has a product or givaway that compliments (not compete) with one another, and they cross market it to both lists, producing more sign-ups for both or all parties involved.

    You can purchase data but the list won't be targeted to your niche as much if you were to build your own list. Offer a product for free in exchange for someones name and email address.

    In regards to, "You can purchase data but the list won't be targeted to your niche as much if you were to build your own list."

    People change email addresses. Old addresses are often used by email providers to check for spammers. Purchasing lists is a quick way to get yourself on black lists. I recommend double opt in .. it is is harder. but it pays off.

    Get an Extractulater CL Pro. You buy the software once and get as many targeted leads as you want. It has a data processing center so you can format your lists and use them in places like twitters invite system. You can also import lists you already have an re-format them with that software!
