Headline Copycats Make Life Easier

Sigh...

Another launch, another barrage of cut-n-paste affiliate emails.

Here's a trick that makes living with them a little easier, short of nuking all your list subscriptions.

Find the key phrase, and either search or sort your email by that phrase. That way you can bulk delete stuff you aren't interested in.

In Outlook, sort by subject line. Your Inbox will group all the "Bad News" (or "Breaking News" today) into one block. Highlight the block and click 'delete'. No muss, no fuss.

Already decided you aren't going to buy the product? Or maybe you already know which affiliate you want to buy from. Search your Inbox for "product name"+bonus. Select and delete.

This launch too shall pass...

Thanks, copycats. You saved me a bunch of time this week.
