    You have to be realistic. If you don't wish to spend a single cent, how is this possible? To do list building you will need to have your squeeze page, thank you page, a download page. You will need to spend a minimum even to get it started, You need to provide minimum cost for: an autoresponder account, a hosting account, a domain name.

    I get this question from people all the time and I'm sorry to say it but you need some things.

    As Peter just said.

    An Autoreponder.
    A Web Hosting Account.
    Domain name.

    A word of advice, don't let that stop you!

    List building is very powerful stuff but you need to let go of the $0 idea, there is no business that can run on $0 that's just a fact.

      Looks like you've already made some initial investments, why not go
      a little further and invest in a good autoresponder service, squeeze page, sales funnel
      and paid advertising.

          Any site you have online with an optin form is better than no site online if you want to start your listbuilding.

          Use wordpress and the new default template on your hosting. Its not spectacular, but it isn't awful either and you need to have a site before you can start building a list.

          I can direct you to several different sites for
          you to choose from, starting with autoresponders.

          aweber.com getresponse.com mailchimp.com
          rocketresponder.com imnica.com
          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          For a squeeze page you can check out:

          easycapturepage.com leadpages.net squeezeninja.com

          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          For a sales funnel simply go to clickbank.com and choose
          an affiliate program similar to your IM business and promote
          it to your subscriber after they have opted in to your list.
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          Advertising...well that's a whole different ball game,
          for instance there is PPC (payperclick) Google Adwords
          there is facebook ads, bing ads, yahoo
          PPV networks such as mediatraffic, 50onred, trafficvance.

          I use this site "revisitors.com"
          they have been around since
          2005 great website for driving traffic to your site $20 a month
          will get you 80 to 100 visitors a DAY sweeeeeet.
          -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Sounds like you have a lot to learn my friend.
          If I can be of help just PM me and I'll do what I can.
          Best of luck to you.
          P.S. Don't let this overwhelm you, take it one step at a time.

    Peter is right. If you want to take your business seriously, then at the very least you need to consider investing in the essentials. If you can't fork out the investment, then consider doing some freelance work or get a part time job to cover those costs.

    But I encourage you to progress (keep moving forward) as you learn. So rather than doing nothing, maybe start with GetResponse (free for 30 days), and then you'll have 30 days to cover those costs and work on improving your email marketing.

    Can't be done realistically.

    You can try to wing it with some free autoresponder and Blogger with a free Blogspot.

    But you run the risk of losing everything at a whim.

    1.Autoresponder - $19 month
    2. Hosting - $10 month
    3. Domain- $10 year.

    Comes out less than $30 a month total.

    If you have to forgo a few meals eaten out at your favorite restaurant then so be it.
    It will be worth it

      At $30/mo, that's $360 for a full year. Spend a week or two doing grunt work for a temp agency and you're covered for a full year.

      Or, at $30/month, working a single half-day shift per week at a minimum wage job will cover those expenses.

    Get the bare minimum requirements (listed above) and then absorb as much information as possible about list building from the warrior forum. Make sure to over deliver in your free offers as it will drastically increase any upsells or future promotions to your list.
