If you want to build a huge mailing list, you may want to find as many new sources as possible where you can get new subscribers. Sometimes this may mean paying for it like you would via Google Adwords or the service I’m talking about here, GetSubscribers.com
This is actually a backend service for anyone using GetResponse autoresponders. If you have a GR account, then you can buy leads from this site (also owned by Implix, the parent company) and the leads are added directly to your autoresponders without having to double-optin. If you’re using another service like Aweber for example, you can still get new subscribers from here but you don’t have the ability to bypass double-optin confirmation.
Needless to say something like this comes at a price:
I’ve previously tried a few packages, and the most affordable is to buy 200 leads at $0.45 each.
Is it worth your money? Of course!
Consider offering a free report / download and using a squeeze page to build your list, advertising in Google Adwords at 20 cents per click. No matter how deadly your optin page is, at 20 cents per click it’s going to cost you more than some spare change to get a single subscriber.
Now the next question – does it work?
To answer that, lets look at HOW it works first:
Every top name autoresponder service has a default “Thank You” page. In Aweber this is usually a blank page that says “Your Subscription is Confirmed” or something like that. On GetResponse however, the default confirmation page looks like the image above, where you’re presented with an offer to subscribe to other newsletters.
According to them:
We display your ad on many websites on the Internet, along with the fields where visitors may leave their name and e-mail address if they are interested in receiving more information about the product/service that is described in the ad. The information they submit is instantly delivered to your GetSubscribers account.
You get to write a title and description for your newsletter, which is then displayed randomly on the confirmation page until your leads quota has been filled up. Then you an buy more leads.
In my experience, this service works to a certain extent but don’t put all your money here. I estimate about 40% of the leads you get from here never click on the double-optin confirmation link and are therefore never added to your autoresponder account. Of course if you’re actually using GetResponse they are added automatically so your actual subscribers received will be true to the number.
One reason for the low subscriber optin is the amount of “Make money online” ads shown. Understandably, these group of people will represent the majority in any type of generic advertising service since we marketers are an aggressive bunch with cash to burn unwisely 
Any one could subscribe to more than one newsletter at a time and as a result they would be getting 3-5 confirmation requests and later even dozens of “Buy this now” emails from all the people they subscribed to.
Still, if you want to build a bigger list GetSubscribers.com is an option, and you may want to give it a shot yourself to see your results. It goes without saying that this service works best if you’re using GetResponse.

Where do i know you from? I’ve seen your name elsewhere before.
Well about this post here which i just stumbled upon. i kept reading because i thought that you would give us an approximate overview of what you experienced on your campaign with getsubscribers.com
I think this is the same concept as co-registration leads. I do think it’s a great idea if you are infact trying to get a big list to market too. But i don’t think they’re as targeted as you want them to be.
