Ask anyone that makes a living working online from home, and he/she will tell you that the money is in the list. I therefore also work on getting people subscribed to mailinglists that I own.I have been testing different list growing viral systems and so far I have not yet found one that doesn't use a spamming method to increase your list.
I have had a list with more than 7000 subscribers of which about 6000 were "bought". Don't ever go there. Wasted my money and you should not have to.
Then the whole script crashed. Cannot send any global messages and once the hosting company closed my autoresponder's because it send too many emails at one time.
That is when I decided to follow in the foot steps of people that has hundreds of thousands of people on their list. I saw that one guy even stopped using his lists and went on to start building new lists using only one automatic online email responder service. I dedicated a whole website to the cause - yet have to make the video I promise to the visitors (killyourmailinglist.com).
