List growth shenanigans

I'm trying to figure out all the different ways I can grow my list with subscribers, buyers, or potential buyers.

One of the techniques is what I shared a few weeks ago... where I promoted a freebie-to-affiliate offer and got a bunch of subscribers, many of whom then turned into buyers.

But what else?

Let's do the battleship thingy John does from time to time.

I have 10 ways to grow your email list; #10 is what I already shared above.

There are 9 more methods in the list (that I can think of)... some better than others in terms of subscriber quality... but yeah... tell me how you'd grow your list.
