A Trick for how to Stop Spam
One of the big annoyances with online
marketing and owning an online business is the amount
of email that can build up in your email box. I
probably get 20% real information and 80% spam
that I can't seem to rid myself of.
As many of you, I've spent many hours just
sifting through email, struggling to get off lists and
deleting spam. What a time waster!
If you're not careful, you can overwhelm
yourself with more newsletter lists, tips of the day,
or expert opinions than you can handle. And of course
there's always the unscrupulous business owner that
sells your email address and 'voila' you've been
spammed. Well ridding myself of those nasty
spammers I've devised a way to find out who they are
and get off their list fast.
Here's a trick that I use to stop
spam.
First, find your favorite experts,
newsletters, mini-course, affiliate programs, or whatever you wish to
continue subscribing to and set up separate email
account for each one. What I mean here is NOT
create a separate 'folder' in your main mailbox, create a
separate email account.
Note: This works best
with hosting companies that offer
unlimited email accounts.
For example, let's say you want to sign up for the
widgetworld newsletter. First,
create an email account called widgetworld@youremail.com or widgetworld@yahoo.com
Use a name that signifies what you are subscribing to. The rule of thumb is that any time you are ready to give out your email address, first create a separate email account for whatever you are signing up for.
You can also use this method for free email
such as yahoo, msn or others. It may cost you a
bit more for hosts that charge for additional email
accounts but it's often worth it in the long
run.
Note: If you're looking for a hosting company it's a very good idea to get one with unlimited email accounts.
The biggest benefit here is that if, at any
time, you start getting spam to that email address,
you can drop them like a hot potato. Delete that email
account and you won't be bothered by them
again.
Granted this requires setting up several
email lists but you'll not only be better organized,
you'll cut down on spam and you won't feel so
overwhelmed.
Also, if someone is spamming you or they have sold the email address you gave them, you'll know exactly who they are and you'll know they're not someone you want to continue to deal with.
If you do happen to get overwhelmed simply
reduce the amount of things you subscribe to. That's
easily done by just deleting the email address.
Using these email tricks won't completely
eliminate spam in your mailbox but it has helped me
save a few extra minutes a day reading useless
email.
================================================== A 'Cool' Decision Making Tool ==================================================
Here's a new tool you can get your arms
around.
I've used this new tool for a few decisions
I'm trying to make, both business and personal and
believe it or not, it actually did help me
make a decision.
For me this is a "good thing" as I'm
not a very speedy decision maker. I've been
known to dilly dally for days and it's probably due to
not really knowing how to go through the decision
making process.
If this also sounds like you, help is on the
way!
Ken Envoy, of Site Build It! has come to the
rescue once again with his intuitive free 'Choose It!'
Tool.
People have used Choose It! to..
o decide important
business decisions
o select career
paths for their adult children
o decide upon
vacation destinations
o decide what TV
programs to watch!
Try the decision maker for
yourself. It doesn't cost anything and it comes in pretty
handy.
