An easier alternative is to subscribe to one or more sites that give you the opportunity to create your opt-in list in an easier and quicker way. After subscribing to these sites you can refer these sites to other users. The more new users that register on your behalf the greater will your mailing list be.

Some of these sites provide free services whilst giving you the opportunity to upgrade to their paid services for bigger mailing lists and more benefits. Not only that but you can get paid for having new users registering to their paid services on your behalf. Three of these sites are the following:

ListDotCom

ListDotCom claims that it can help you get 100,000 members to your opt-in list in under 30 days. The basic service is free but you can upgrade to their paid service for more benefits. For every new user that registers on your behalf you will get paid $15.99 per month to your PayPal account and this also applies to the free members.

The List Machine uses what it calls the world’s fastest list builder by using an exclusive front and back matrix which can help you get 150,000 members to your opt-in list in under 30 days. Only paid members will get paid for having new users registering to their service.

YourBIGList.com

YourBIGList.com does not offer paid memberships and so you cannot get paid for referring new members. But if it helps you create your own list then who cares about commission.

In the article The money is in the list I state that every internet market should have a list. This is theoretically incorrect. Every internet marketer should have an opt-in list. What is an opt-in list? An opt-in list is one where every person on the list has requested to be part of the email list. Not only this but every person in an opt-in should have the opportunity to unsubscribe from the list at his or her pleasure.

The problem with opt-in lists is that someone might register your email address without your permission. Although you can unsubscribe from the opt-in list such a thing might still be a nuisance especially if you subscibed to mulitple opt-in lists without your consent.

Guidelines For Creating Email Lists

You should always follow the guidelines below while creating your email list:

- Do not borrow or buy opt-in or double opt-in lists to market your products unless it is a safe list (see buy email list). If someone did not ask to become member of your list then you cannot legally send him / her any emails to market your products or those of affiliate partners.

- When you send your marketing emails to your opt-in list or double opt-in list you must include the option to unsubscribe from the opt-in list in every single email.

If you are not doing things this way then you are "spamming" people. Spamming is a criminal offense in many countries and you can be prosecuted, fined or even jailed if you are caught spamming people.

Double Opt-In Lists

Double opt-in lists are said to be better than than opt-in lists because of the fact that one has to confirm that he wants to be part of the list. This is usually done by clicking on a confirmation link thus confirming that you are the rightful owner of the email address.

Double opt-in lists can still be a nuisance if one registers your email address without your consent to multiple lists. However a double opt-in list has its advantages. For example suppose that you are abroad without access to your email for 30 days. Now imagine that someone registereed you to 100 opt-in lists without your consent and assume that you receive an email from each of these email lists on a daily basis. In this case you would find 3,000 "spam" emails when you open your mailbox on your return. However if these opt-in lists were in fact double opt-in lists then you should only find 100 "spam" emails.

If you want to avoid all the time and effort it takes to grow your email opt-in or double opt-in list, you can buy one instead. Some services offer double opt-in email lists of several million members. When you send an email to such lists, your email is delivered to all the members in the list. Lists of these types are known as safe lists. A safe list is an email list in which all the members of the list agree to receive emails from all the other members. The term of mass mailing the list is known as an "email blast". Therefore when a member of a safe list sends an email blast, that email is received by all the members in the safe list.

Some mass mailing services charge more than $100 for a single email blast. I have also seen a company charge $1800 for a single email blast targeting 1 million users. This is completely absurd! In my opinion using any of these services is a complete waste of money. You can find lots of cheaper alternatives on the net. In fact some companies charge a lifetime membership of only $29.95 for daily blasts to 3 million recipients.

WebTrafficMarketing.com

WebTrafficMarketing.com is a top rated email marketing service. For a one time fee of only $39.95 you can send a daily blast to 2.7 million targets which adds up to 81 million targets per month.

WebTrafficMarketing.com claims that it has the fastest mass mailing service on the market.

Emails can be sent in HTML or text format.

WebTrafficMarketing.com claims that its safe list is created exclusively from double opt-in list subscribers. The list is also updated on a daily basis. The service also comes with a 14-day money back guarantee.
