Anyone had any luck with list building?

Hi,
Has anyone got any Tips / Advice on how to build an email subscriber list up?
Has anyone had any success in doing this?
What's the best way to start it? PPC? Forums? Competition?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1. Create content that will make your users to beg for more ( Create Content For Real Users )
2. Give away information Note: I'm not a huge fan of discounting because of the bad pattern it starts with the customer
3. Use Capture Pages/ Landing Pages to boost the perceived value of getting on your list
4. Constantly ask people to subscribe
5. Run a competition
6. Run a Promotion
Answering you question above I would say that running competition's/giving stuff away won't necessarily help your conversions in your list for that you need to optimize the copy in the email you send out.

Or you could put out something along the lines of, sign up and be entered for a chance to win a football package. You would be surprised how many sports fans would sign up, plus you would have a large amount of E-mails coming in. You have to be creative with it, follow the words of Rand, be a thought leader!

Cheers for reply.
If I was to give something away or run a competition should I see a big increase in conversions?
Lets say I sell, football boots, I have an email that goes out once a week with the latest boots, t-shirts, footballs etc out in the market.
I want to now start building up my email list, what are a few of the things I could do to do this?
Cheers

Do you have anything to give away in return? A great e-book for example? A discount on your services? Bands do it by offering a free MP3.
Promote the list everywhere - have a call-to-action signup on your website and any correspondence you send out (online or otherwise).

Have Google Shopping show site listings instead of Amazon and eBay listings
An e-commerce site I'm currently working with also has storefronts on eBay and Amazon. When searching Google Shopping, their Amazon and eBay product listings come up but NOT their primary site's listings. Can anyone shed some light on how to a) feed the main site's products to Google Shopping and subsequently b) have Google remove the eBay and Amazon listings? Obviously, this would be a boon to business and hey wouldn't have to pay the Amazon and eBay fees associated with each sale. Thanks for any help!

Listing Products With Descriptions: What Order Should They Be In?
This is more a user experience / conversion rate question than anything else. We sell several levels of membership to our organization. Seven to be exact. They range from Student memberships at $35 a year to very specialized memberships at $4,500 - $6,500 a year. I looked for information on how these products should be listed, but found nothing. Currently, they are listed with the most expensive level listed first. It's the only one displayed above the fold. I believe this is a bad choice. At a glance to a consumer, it looks like a membership costs $4,500 instead of a more reasonable (and more popular) $500 a year price. I don't want to start with the $35 option either. That is heavily discounted for students. Would it be odd to list the best sellers first and then have everything else listed underneath? Or does it need to be in price order? So, if anyone has an opinion or has had experience with something similar or has seen a case study, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks

Anyone familiar with treepodia.com?
There is a company called Treepodia that will take your entire product catalog through an xml feed and make a web video for each product withing 24 hours. If we do this, and Treepodia does the hosting, how powerful could the organic benefits be. If it helps, it doesn't appear as though any of our competitors have anything like this. Any of them that have video have very few and they are not product specific. I know in the world of SEO there's rarely anytime you can get accurate predictions for results. I guess what I'm asking is, is it worth it? And if so, in what ways will it potentially help?

Why does Google only show the review stars for some listings in the Places results
I have a client who shows up in the Places results for his targeted keyword phrase, but one of his competitors' listing shows 5 gold stars next to the reviews which causes him to stand out visually. I was under the impression that at one time the stars only showed for listings that had official Google reviews, but the other listings in the results also have "Google Reviews" but no stars.
