As in internet marketer, I usually had to find ways on how to create my own list. In the field of internet marketing there are a couple of ways on how to do this.

The first is usually a method of bribing your visitors with some freebies in exchange for their email address. What internet marketers normally do is to offer some sort of a free reports or a free ebook which contains some valuable information that your visitors might want to have.

It is imperative that one should offer valuable ebooks and reports otherwise, they’ll just opt-out. The idea is that if these people go through your free ebook and received a good amount of information, they’ll think that there must me more of these kind of information if I stay in this email list.

This method takes time, and a lot of times, one must create a series of emails in an autoresponder to keep them from getting out of your list.

In fact some marketers create a 7 day email course which will try and keep them in the list.

Lately, I came across this mailing list site where in you can rent out a list and send them email, or direct mail.

What I like about such services is that I can test a database, send out an offer and then measure the response. If there are a lot of buyers in that list and my conversion rates can pretty much make some money, then it is probably wise to send another offer after a few weeks.

I also noticed that it has a direct marketers association logo beside these list which means these lists are harvested thru legal means and that these people know that they will receive offers because they opted in to this list.

Futhermore, they also have different lists for different niches. I found an insurance lists, a lawyers list, college email list, and so on.

I haven’t tried this service yet. Anybody here tried them? I would appreciate a feedback.
