2. Have them sign-up to get access to download a free ebook. The subject of the ebook should be relevant to your target audience. Write an ebook or find one at an online ebook directory that you can give away.

3. You can give your visitors a free membership inside your member's only website. Give them their username and password via email.

4. Hold a free contest or sweepstakes. All they have to do is sign up to be entered.

5. Offer your visitors free consulting services or price quotes. Provide a form where they can ask you questions and submit their information.

6. Give away something for signing up. People love free stuff. Give away an ebook, a t-shirt, consulting services, whatever you want.

8. Offer a free online service from your website. They have to sign up to receive the service.

9. Host free classifieds. Grab their e-mail address, then let them post their ad.

10. Offer a free training course via email. They gotta sign up if they want the course.

11. Let their voices be heard. When they sign up, give them access to a forum, chat room, or guestbook.

Make sure to provide a privacy link where they can click and read that their email address is safe with you and you won't sell it to anyone. Also include that they can opt-out at anytime they don't want to receive your emails anymore. Most people won't read through the entire privacy policy, but they will look to see if it's their before giving out their info.

Getting your visitors to leave you their email address is not hard to do if done right. If people think they will get the information they are looking for, then they will most likely hand over the goods.
