Best practices to build pre-launch email list for dirt cheap. Advice needed.

[Vadim26]

I am building my pre-launch email list - to which I will advertise, once my product goes live.

So far, I am sitting at around 250 people according to MailCheat(Chimp).
I'd like to build it up to at least 1000 before launch.

My strategy is as follows:

1) drive traffic to the landing page (FB ads = 6% CTR, 0.08 c per click);
2) visitor signs up (12% conversion);
3) the user gets forwarded to the "thank you" contest page, where they are encouraged to share the product page with their friends (or like fb page/ follow Instagram page) to get more entries - just started this;
4) once they are on board - they get an email every week with updates regarding the product launch as well as some value (tips for this certain niche, useful articles) - just started this as well.

I am paying about ~$1.25 per email, but I'd like to get it down to 0.30c.

I've just started learning about building email lists and email marketing.

Can anyone critique this strategy and share some tips?
