I just got home from my day job and sat down to check my email for what I really want to do-my online businesses.
Usually I skim the mail and if something catches my eye, I’ll go over it further. Mind you, this was just in my personal business mail. I actually read 27 emails this time and they offered nothing of substance that I could use. How do these people get my address?
I read something a while ago that’s really true. If you’ve been in it for a while and don’t use it-unsubscribe!
We join so many things that at the time seem promising and later wonder -why am I getting this email? Read the fine print. When you sign up for something, you’re not only signing up for that original offer, but their whole network that will send you everything they can, often unrelated to your original inquiry or purchase.
Here’s an exercise! Go over your business mail (personal accounts don’t count) and cull out everything you don’t need, want or use. If you don’t recognize the sender, unsubscribe. This should take you a few minutes J. If you’re really ambitious, go through your bookmarks and delete what ones you don’t need or haven’t used.
That writers block or advertising block that we all run into can be avoided or lessened by just doing this and focusing on what you know works. You’d be surprised how much more effective and productive you can be.
