Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher.
