* Build a targeted opt-in email list

The best way to build targeted emails for your autoresponder marketing is www.worldwidelists.com. They have an easy sign up process that allows you to find your target audience and give info about your newsletter or product. The only drawback is that it takes longer to build list but you receive targeted emails with either a single double or triple opt in depending on how much you are willing to invest.

A quick way to build your email list is www.leadfactory.com. You can build list up to 1000 opt-in email leads in a week of time. One of the cons of using this service is that they say that all of the emails opted-in and are targeted but it has been my experience that all are not targeted. In fact some will email you not knowing how you received their email address and claimed they never signed up.

* Place ads in google adwords and overture.

I like to use google adwords the most for my search engine ads. They have ads up in a few hours with less review process. You can also specify in detail your target group by picking out keywords targeting your niche. If you are just starting out try not to pay over a $1 for pay per click per keyword.

Overture is also good to use because overture receives tons and tons of traffic. A con to this service is that it normally takes 3 to 5 days to get the ads up and going with also a review process. The review process I have also found not to be consistent. It is ependent on what they flag as to who is reviewing your ad. Even though it takes a little more time it is definitely a savvy investment to use overture.

* Joint Venture Partners Email lists

Use your joint venture partners email lists already built to promote your product. To get in contact with good Joint Venture partners install alexa on your machine. Go to www.alexa.com and then start looking at web sites in your field. If the site is ranked at least 10,000 or more you've got yourself a good Joint Venture Partner possibility. Once you have some solid conversion rates for your product contact some of these sites that are ranked well and in your niche. Now your JV can send out your offer to their list already built. You give them at least 50% for sending the offer out to their ist because not only will you make lots of sales you can capture their email addresses. You now can offer them deals on your own along with your email list. This is a win/win situation for you and your Joint Venture partner.

* Ezine Ads

Subscribe to at least 10 ezines from www.directoryofezines.com. Read each of the ezines and pick the top two that most relate to your target audience. Make sure you yourself would read the ezine. The ezine has good worthwhile content. Buy a spot for a solo ad. Sponsor and Classified Ads are okay but won't give you near the response.
