Starting a mailing list is actaully easy. The easiest and fastest way of starting to get people to give you their email address is to give them something they want.

The mailing list program I use is called ProAutoresponder.com

Pro Autoresponder is a online service that provides excellent serverice and a great product. It allows you to have unlimited campaigns which will allow you to create mailing lists for all your websites. It also allows you to have talking emails. There is no limit to the numbers of email addresses in your account and you can start using it write away.

After you sign up for ProAutoresponder.com you are now ready to start your mailing list. To get mailing list subscribers, you have to give them something your website visitors need or want.

Here are some good examples

"Sign up for my mailing lists and get the top ten secrets to getting 10,000 visitors to your site in 4 mins"

"Sign up and get access to Download hundreds of free marketing ebooks right now"

"Sign up and receive 1000's of free web templates that you can download"

Above are some great examples of headlines that I have used to get people to give me their name and email address. You must get their first name and email address. If you can personalize the email with their name, you will get 50% better response.

Ofcourse, you have to come through with your headline. If you say you are going to give them ebooks, or a special marketing report, then you HAVE to give them that info. Never lie to your subscribers. They can generate hundreds of dollars for you if you treat them right.

Thats it.
