These days, a lot of people are turning to Internet Marketing to ride the money wave, trying to make some extra cash. Personally, I am one of these people successfully riding that wave, I have been for a year now, and starting out as an Internet marketer you encounter a lot of hurdles.
One of those obstacles, and I suppose this not only relates to newbies but also to experienced Marketers, is signing up to "gurus" or "Top Marketers" email lists. This my friend, is the biggest distraction any person new to the world of Internet Marketing will encounter, especially if you are constructing a campaign or studying with a training course .
And What Is The Problem With Signing To Lists?
In Theory, nothing much. There are of course great benefits like, excellent information and tips, free gifts, inside information, and the latest news in The Marketing World.
Unfortunately with these lists your email box begins to fill up. You spend to much time reading these mails, downloading the latest video, messing about with your latest gift or signing up to one of "Their Friends" mailing lists, which leads to more subscriptions and mails, hence you start to fall behind with your own online career.
Trust me, I know, mainly because I have been there and guilty as charged. All your focus and concentration will be lost, fall behind on your own training and campaigns leading to you learning nothing, not earning any money, and quite possibly buying a product you DO NOT NEED!
How To Take Action-3 Solid Steps!
1. Is Of course the obvious, go down to the bottom of the page and unsubscribe to all your email lists, take action, be ruthless. Unless you are getting great value from the emails, then by all means keep them, but if not, dump them, if you have no value from the mail now, then what are the chances of value in the future.
2. And this is what I normally do, Choose. Yes if you want to keep a couple, choose the most valuable. I tend to keep the people I trust (and there isn't that many) and people who aren't always trying to push products, plain good people and Marketers.
3. In collaboration with point number 2. If you are planning to stay subscribed to email lists, create a separate folder, and each morning spend five minutes placing your mails in to the folder, and choose a certain day or hour where you get to take time to read mails etc.
It is not good for any new or experienced marketer to be wasting their time in the morning reading useless emails. It interferes with you productivity, taking valuable time out of your day, and for any newbies trying to start an online business, slows you down and leads you of the track.
Start taking action today. Unsubscribe from useless invaluable emails and get your online career on track. It's the people who get up in the morning and proceed with their daily tasks and goals who succeed in this game, so stop wasting time, control your online success.
