Have you ever tried any of these list building techniques and got no results?

Have you ever tried any of these list building techniques and got no results?

I've been doing this for a while let's and thought I'd mention 2 list building
methods which I suggest you STAY AWAY from.
You might get different opinions from other people, but as for me, I've used
some of these techniques and burnt my fingers

The first method is buying optin leads.
There are some services which will send you a list of subscribers along with
their full names, I.P. addresses and date/time stamp. While having all of these
as proof that someone opted into a list, it doesn't mean that they opted into
your list. If you buy a list of these leads and email them and get a Spam
complaint, which will surely happen, you can stay out of trouble because you
have all the information as proof that they opted in but it's a continuous fight.
Still, I wouldn't go this route. I once bought a list of 10,000 names and
after trying to show them that I'm a nice guy and want to help them, I didn't
get much of a response from the list. I gave them lots of free stuff but they
weren't interested.

The second method is to use Pay per lead programs
These programs are a little better than the above method in that they list
your optin form along many other forms, and people have to check your form
and fill in their information to get placed directly on your list.
Let's say you pay for 500 subscribers for $50. You pay that money first and
then they will list your form on one of their partner sites until you get 500
subscribers or the number that you ordered.
The better the description you create, the faster you will get to that number
that you paid for. The bad thing about this form of optin, which I've also
tried, is that people see a bunch of checkboxes, and they just click through
each checkbox impulsively. That means that they'll be getting emails from many
other people all at the same time, and then they end up getting overwhelmed and
unsubscribe from all lists. Heck, I've done this myself.

Those are the two methods of list building which I've tried and will not try
again because they produced poor results for me and will do the same for you.
You might get different results, but if you don't want to risk being disappointed,
rather try some more successful methods to do so.
Just by the way here is a wonderful website I discovered recently where you can
