Email Overload? Try This...

Have you ever found yourself wondering what to do next in your online business?

If so, you are just experiencing information overload, and that is very normal for someone just getting started. When we first become interested in internet marketing, we slowly start adding ourselves to more and more email lists. (even if we don't realize it at first)

Before long, we are bombarded with emails from other marketers that are promoting the newest products, systems, and packages, and we have no idea where to start.

It's kind of like trying to drink from a fire hose.

So we purchase these random products and services and don't fully implement them, and before long we have moved on to a new product, convinced that the previous one we purchased "didn't work".

Here is one of the most important quotes that you can apply directly to your business:

"action without knowledge is worthless"

Typically, there is nothing wrong with any of the products that we buy, other than the fact that we don't actually follow through and IMPLEMENT what we learn in them.

My personal recommendation to solve this problem is simply to avoid adding yourself to anyone else's email list. (without good reason)

Pick out your top 3 (at most) marketers who you feel can provide you with the most amount of value, and follow them. Unsubscribe from everyone else at this time. (I recommend mine of course)

This will give you a much more manageable list of daily emails that you can absorb... I would also recommend crating a folder inside your email client and naming it after each marketer that you are following. This way you can archive all of the emails for future reading.

As you get more comfortable with what it takes to be successful online, then you can get back on more peoples lists. This is not only a way to get good training content, but also a way to see how they are marketing, and what offers they are sending out to their list.

Here is what I currently do:

I follow 8-10 marketers at a time for a few months to see what they are promoting and to get a feel of their writing styles. I save all of the emails to their own personal folder, (actually they go there automatically via my outlook "filter" feature) as I get them, and then go back and read through them every other week or so.

The important thing to remember is that every single email is nothing more that a distraction to the "system" you learned about in the last email that you read... As long as people are making money promoting products by email, that part will never end.

You simply have to find a way to manage it.

I hope this has helped... If so, share it with your friends!

Warmest regards,
