Believe it or not but building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Putting up a popup or some type of incentive to encourage people to subscribe to your newsletters. You can give away free software, access to exclusive services, and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

This is one of the reasons you might (or should) be hearing about link reciprocal campaigns.
