Today it’s my privilege to share the steps Fabian Tan of Explosive Traffic System.com has used to build his list to over 19,000 subscribers in just 16 months… WITHOUT a major product launch or any joint ventures with major list owners.

According to Fabian, list building is his obsession and he’s spent countless hours poring over list building reports, traffic blueprints, and training videos. Better yet, he’s distilled what he’s learned into 10 steps that have consistently worked to bring traffic to his websites and build his lists.

Here are Fabian’s 10 steps:

Step 1 – Write and submit articles to article directories. I’m not talking the occasional article though. Fabian has 2,469 articles on EzineArticles.com alone!

Step 2 – Participate in highly trafficked forums in your niche(s). Create a signature file promoting your site and regularly post helpful content.

Step 3 – Contribute products to giveaway promotions. According to Fabian, this is an ultra-fast way to build a list.

Step 4 – Use the co-registration service offered by Get Subscribers.com to funnel leads straight into your autoresponder account.

Step 5 – Run a Google AdWords campaigns to attract traffic to your optin pages.

Step 6 – Run classified ads on Craigslist, eBay Classifieds, US Free Ads and Yahoo Classifieds.

Step 7 – Purchase the List Joe premium account. This enables you to blast an ad out to 3,000 subscribers every 3 days. Fabian says this is a great list builder.

Step 8 – Get in touch with potential joint venture (JV) partners and arrange a solo email swap. Your JV partners will send an email to their lists promoting your opt-in page, while you promote theirs to your list. Fabian reckons this is the fastest strategy to build a targeted, responsive list.

Step 9 – Create a blog at WordPress or Blogger and post new content daily. Be sure to ping your new posts at Pingomatic to get instant search engine recognition.

Step 10 – Buy some ezine ads. Join the Directory Of Ezines and search for ezines that are related to your market. Continue to advertise in those ezines that continue to cost-effectively deliver subscribers.

What does Fabian say are his very best list builders? Co-registration (GetSubscribers.com), joint ventures and participating in giveaways. The latter two are more one-shot bursts of huge traffic, while co-registration is more of an ongoing, continual process.
