You have your site built, now you need to get traffic to your website.

To start with, you want to focus on getting bulk web traffic, a lot of traffic in the quickest time you possibly can. You want to quickly build a few hundred people to your opt-in list so that you will not feel like talking to thin air when writing your newsletter or blog.

Below are some examples of advertising sources you can exploit:

1) If you can Joint Venture with someone with a list then this is the best source of free bulk traffic, go ahead and do it. If not, then you need to move on to the next one.

2) Article Marketing, this works big-time. Whenever article marketing is used, it can have a massive boost for the better on your sites. Article marketing is an efficient way of getting targeted traffic to your website. The process in article marketing is to write quality and informative articles that focus on your niche market. Submit your article to article directories and get them published on other websites. Before you know it, your content will be exposed on several websites.  When writing your articles, search for the correct keywords to target. They should then match the topic of your site. It is best to choose keywords that have very high traffic but with low competition by existing sites.

3) Try List building programs, these programs will let you build a list for free but they also offer a pro upgrade service where you can post email ads to their members for a fee. For example, with an upgraded account with List Joe, you can post up to 3000 emails to its members every 3 days.

4) Join in giveaway events, these events are taking place every week on the web and last for between a week and a month. Typically, Giveaway events have thousands of visitors, so take advantage of the exposure available in these events. Consider upgrading your account to get the maximum exposure.

When you have built your opt-in list up to 500 subscribers, the next move is to start cross promoting your opt-in list with fellow list builders who are operating in a compatible niche. This is how you can accelerate your list rapidly.
