How do I accumulate emails from my audience?

There are many ways to accumulate as many emails as possible in order to do mass mailings later on: first, look at your contact list, go ask people you know, ask people in your audience directly... Then, you can go and get these emails on the internet: you can buy/rent an existing database, make a blog where you can get the emails, install a sign-up pop-up on your website... Many ways exist to do this.
