Get 1000 subscribers in 24 hours describes several services that will rapidly grow your list of opt in subscribers to your newsletter or ezine.
Get 1000 Subscribers to Your Newsletter in Less than 24 Hours
If you are serious at all about running a business online, you are going to want to have your own ezine. If you think about it, the reasons are obvious. Most customers require about 5 exposures to your product before they will purchase something from you. With all of the millions of websites out there, the odds that someone will come and see your website more than once are very small.
On the other hand, if you have a loyal band of regular readers, you can expose them to the same thing repeatedly. They are more likely to buy something that you recommend. Obviously, you are going to want to keep up your reputation by only recommending products that over deliver. Make sure that the number of people that will be sorry that they followed your advice as close to zero as possible.
Having said all that, the obvious question is, "Where can I get subscribers?" To this question there are several answers. I will list a few and then describe the one that will get you the most subscribers in the shortest amount of time.
First, you can have a form on your webpages that will allow people to sign up (opt in) for your ezine. Most autoresponders ( Listwarriors is a good example: http://www.ListWarrior.com/cgi-bin/lw.cgi?34605 ) will have an online tool that will create the code for you that you can easily add to your webpages. This code will make a sign up form. You can see one of mine at http://www.netloot.com .
Secondly, there are quite a few subscription exchange services that will help you get subscribers. These service work by allowing visitors to your website sign up for your newsletter as well as other newsletters. The trade off is that your ezine will also be presented to visitors to other members websites. Two of the most popular are Subscription Rocket ( http://www.subscriptionrocket.com/cgi-bin/r.cgi?r=2708 ) and EzineAdventure ( http://www.ezineadventure.com/Default.asp?id=10819 ). They not only provide the code for you to place on your webpages, but have an affiliate program. So, if you refer people who sign up for the program, you will get added views of your ezine. Subscription Rocket comes as a popup form. EzineAdventure will let you have either a popup or a form on your webpage. The nice thing about these 2 programs is that you can actually use them both. Use one as a popup and the other as a form. Between the 2 you can start getting subscribers right away.
The frustrating thing about these two ways of getting subscribers is that you have to wait until you have enough traffic to see any appreciable rate of growth to your mailing list. It hardly seems worth it to write a newsletter to only 22 people. But, you should write one, even if you only have one subscriber. The reason? You can put it on an archives section to your website. You not only can have search engines bringing traffic to each of those pages, but you can have continued sales from your affiliate programs.
Well, I've been putting it off long enough. Time to tell you about the fastest way to get subscribers. And probably the cheapest. There is a service available that will send you 1200 subscribers (They say 1000 because on average about 150 will unsubscribe after you start sending them newsletters) within 24 hours of signing up for them. These people have all signed up at a generic site that asks them to sign up for information on online business opportunities. They will then sell these names to 2 people before erasing them from their files. In this way, there is almost no chance of being accused of spamming.
Also, they have an affiliate program. So, once you have gotten your first 1000, you can buy more under your own affiliate label and get them at a discount. You can also refer others and make money on the side! Many of my subscribers were obtained from this service.
I make it a practice to buy another 1000 subscribers from them once a month and plan to continue that practice.

Once you get your leads, there are a couple things that I would recommend. First, you should be signed up with 2 different autoresponder or mailing list services. (Here is a great backup service: http://myleadcenter.com/r?a=mccluskey ) The reason for this is that every service that I have seen has a 'no spam' policy. There is a possibility that even with the most care, one of these people will complain that you are spamming them. You should consider one of these services as your primary service. I use Listwarrior for this. Have another one as a 'throw away' service. Set up this list service with the recommended welcome message and your own information.
Once you have your list loaded on your backup service, start sending them your regular newsletter. Once a day for the first week, you should back up your mailing list on this service. That way, if you get accused of spamming on this service, you can take your list with you to your next service. (I keep a list of other services that I can go to for my next list for just this extremity.) You should back up your mailing lists from both services once a week.
After a month, take the list from your backup and import it into your main list and then erase the names from your backup. It will be ready for your next purchase of 1000 names.
Something to think about while you have significant numbers of subscribers on separate lists - Time to TEST. This is a perfect opportunity to vary your newsletter. Try different headlines and text for each group. Find out how to best reach your subscriber base. Keep track of the results. Once you have the best language figured out, you can use it over and over and over ....
With 1000 people on your mailing list, you can expect to start making sales right away. Think of the possibilities. Within a few days of getting your online business going, you already have a 'captive' audience of over 1000 people. I know of a lot of people that have been marketing online for a couple of years that don't have that many yet! With this one secret, you can have a 2 year jump on your competition. Don't delay. This is one opportunity that you can't afford to miss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those with a Niche Ezine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have a niche ezine, you know that building your list is potentially much more rewarding, BUT it is also much slower.
Here is a resource that can really help. Leadfactory offers a signup service to your newsletter or ezine. For as little as 18 cents each, they will provide subscribers that have actually signed up for your ezine PERSONALLY. This is not just a sale of leads.
Their software will either send opt ins email to your list server or actually fill out a form on your website!
The minimum investment is $150, for which you get 500 opt ins. Larger orders get discounted.
PS: Both Load Your Wallet ( http://www.loadyourwallet.net/affiliates/t.php?rid=5540 ) and LeadFactory ( http://profitinfo.com/cgi-bin/lb.cgi?PI2575 ) have affiliate programs. That means one more potential source of income for you!
