If you haven't been urged to build email lists at least thirty times by now, then you can justly refer to yourself as a proper 'newbie'! It's described as the key to everything, the secret to breaking open the door to that permanent money we are all in this for. But do we need just one list, several or dozens?
Firstly, let's look at the benefits of creating more than one list: Most niches have sub-divisions. The obvious one - internet marketing - has many such as Search Engine Optimisation, Private Label Rights, Affiliate Marketing - the list goes on.
So if you put up one gateway page with a free 'bribe' about article marketing, another about PLR etc, then you should build lists that have say five messages pre-programmed into your autoresponder that are specific to this subject.
But obviously, a visitor who signed up for a downloadable book on Podcasting will almost certainly be interested in other ways of making money online. So therefore if you construct email lists that have five category-specific messages going out (say every 2-3 days) then you can follow up that series of messages with other topic areas.
This is really good because you can utilise the 'campaign sharing' facility on Aweber for example to put the same messages into more than one list, after that 'theme-specific' first five. Also, as well as generating your follow-up messages and programming them into your autoresponder, you can send out 'broadcast messages' to any or all of your e-mail lists.
In fact, I would advise that your paid offers that you send to your list - hey, we are allowed to monetize not just build email lists, right? - go out using the 'broadcast message' facility. That way, they will always seem fresh and bang up to date. You can't promote a brand new ClickBank product and put it in your follow-up series, for most subscribers to hear about it months or years later!
For other niches the principle is exactly the same. Someone may opt-in to your list keen to reduce stomach fat. But after you've given them at least five messages of valuable free content in this sub-niche you can of course send content and offers about diet pills, vitamins, exercise regimens etc.
Build email lists that start with a narrow focus on your subscribers' specific needs.

But after that, you can write follow-up messages that are suitable for all your lists, and use broadcasting to keep your paid offers current.
