If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time then you’ll know that I’m not really one for short blog posts. Nearly all of my articles are over 1,500 words with some extending beyond 3,000 words.
But today I hope this WILL be a short one because I just want to briefly outline a simple strategy that you can implement today to start adding more and more subscribers to your email list every day.
Just before I share this strategy, let me just remind you of yesterday’s post…
Yesterday I revealed how I set up a $300-500 per month passive income stream with just 45 minutes work. I know everyone loves passive income so if you want to see how I did it and how you can replicate it, click the link below and read yesterday’s blog post.

Right, back to today…
Here’s what you can do today – and for many days in the future – to significantly increase the number and quality of subscribers joining your email list.
1. If you haven’t already got one create a quick product in your market. It could be a 10-15 page report or a 1-2 hour video or audio. If you already have a product, that’s great.
2. Find every single person in your market who is selling a product related to yours. It doesn’t matter if they are selling a digital product or a physical product. Find them and make a note of them.
3. Create a special “Download” page for each of these people. The page should follow this format:
- At the top have a line of text that says “Welcome THEIR NAME Customers”
- Mention that they can download your special report, video or audio for free just a bit further down the page, but that if they want to receive free updates, additional freebies and future tips and secrets, then they can enter their email address into the form below.
- Then of course have your opt-in form.
- Below that have the direct download link for your report, video or audio.
- Then, if you’re feeling cheeky, put a small promotion for an affiliate product or another product you are selling.
4. Contact each person and offer your product as a bonus. Tell them they can offer your special report, video or audio as a special bonus freebie for all their customers. Show them the personalized download page you have created for their customers and ask them if they would like you to make any amendments.
5. Explain that all they need to do is put a link to your freebie on their download page or in their thank you email and that it will be an unexpected treat for their customers and will help to establish a positive relationship.
That’s it.
Simply get in touch with everyone you found selling products in your market and see the response. Of course, a few will say no, more will just ignore you, but if you can just get one or two per day to put a link on their thank you page then you will start generating high quality subscribers on a daily basis.
Plus, remember not to limit yourself to digital products.
Let’s say you have an anti-aging report you want to give away. Get in touch with all the sellers of anti-aging creams, formulas and miracle treatments.
Perhaps you’ve got a video about growing vegetables in your own garden. Get in touch with everyone selling gardening tools, or veg seeds or gardening books.
There are hundreds, probably thousands, of people selling stuff in your market and if you can capture just 1% of their customers, you will have one of the biggest, most responsive email lists in your market.
Get out and make it happen!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post. I did manage to keep it a bit shorter than normal but it’s still exceeded 700 words. If you want to learn more about this strategy then I cover it, plus nine other methods, of building massive niche email lists in my guide 100 Subscribers Per Day.
Plus, as it’s Friday today and with the thought that you might have a few hours to spare this weekend, then now might be the perfect time to grab Lee McIntyre’s Internet Automation Plan. It’s his former $997 physical course, but you can get instant digital access for a one-time fee of just $5.

Plus, have a read of my case study revealing how Lee has propelled himself to over $100,000 per month.
Have a fantastic weekend.
I’ll be back in touch early next week.
Talk soon,

Great idea, James. Always enjoy reading your posts.
Here is how you can make it even more attractive to them to send you the traffic:
Ask them to give you THEIR Clickbank ID and then create a report with THEIR affiliate links inside. So that their list is going to make them money if they get your report.
Yes, you are “sacrificing” some affiliate commission but you should be increasing your traffic and their efforts to build the list for you.

You’re right on target as usual, James. I love this technique and look forward to trying it out soon.
Thanks for this helpful post…and so what if it’s short? I don’t have a lot of extra time today. There’s a lot to do and almost no time with which to do it.
Enjoy your weekend.
Hi James, this technique rocks!
Thanks for showing us your methods, I appreciate that.
I think I will share the first product I’ve ever made, just because it’s not delivering any sale after 3 years
Thanks and see you soon,

Hey James,
Great tactic! I have used this many times to help build my lists and it’s one of my favorites because once it’s set up it keeps adding subscribers on auto-pilot.
Another twist I like to do is offer the product owner 100% commission on the OTO (when applicable) that is presented after the visitor opt-ins.
This tends to help give the extra push for those that are on the fence about rather or not they want to put your banner on their download page.
Keep up the good work
Cheers,
Coby Wright
Penn,this is one of the greatest technique for list building from your 100 subscribers a day product. i will shamefully confess that i have not used it yet.but after reading this reminder,i will in out and try it.thanks
