3 years later - My biggest Success Tip For $$$

[Jon Steel]

This is why I have 2 different emails. 1 primary email where I get stuff done and an alternate where all the opt-in "get to this if you get a chance emails" go - this has been working for me for a long time...

[James Schramko]

It is also a good idea to tag each subscription with an ID for the guru. Then you know when your details are being traded.

Example
---------

I might put my first name plus the name of the marketer like this:

James-smith

or

James-jones

or

James-citizen


etc....

Now you want to tell me you actually spend (spent) three hours/day reading junk mails?

I actually dont, and i get LOOOOTS of junk since i have many sites tied t emails, and some of them i actually check. (for sales inquiries and so forth). And each of the emails gets junk. LOTS. However, it doesn't take longer than a few mins/day to read my real email.

It would be wrong to focus work/time on fighting spam, deleting spam..things like that. It will NEVER stop. I could spend a few hours "unsubscribing" now...but the real life benefit of this is...uhm..questionable.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Add this: If I want what you have, set up an RSS feed. Who has time to read e-mail?

I do checked my emails and there were a lot of them. How can you not miss the real ones unless you do that until you outsource?

I have got my emails under control now so I think is possible.

I am guessing you have not scaled your business yet?
