Hint: If you pay for a monthly subscription through PayPal, you must go to PayPal to stop subscription. It's easy to do...the trick is to remember which items you used PayPal for.

3. Don't buy software products unless they offer a trial download. That way you are not risking any money and you can see very quickly if that product is for you. I have bought software that I just couldn't figure out how to use...not because it was a bad product but my skills were not yet sophisticated enough. Many of best products on web do offer a trial.

4. If you are evaluating network marketing programs, don't buy what you can't understand. For instance, if I cannot understand compensation plan (and many, if not most, of these plans are quite complex) I stay away. Also, get acquainted with sponsor you will be signing up under. Send an email or ask that person to call you. You should look for a sponsor who understands program, who can explain it well, and who is willing to help you. That person is your mentor...choose wisely.

5. If you are attracted to an ebook or manual, see if seller offers a free email course. Many will send you a multi-part course by email that is based on their ebook. That will give you an idea about seller's writing style and whether this book really offers anything new. Plus it gives you time to "cool" off and make a more objective decision.

Using these tips may help you make better decisions about what to purchase on Internet. We are blessed with riches in cyberspace, but overindulgence can give us a hangover and play havoc with our budget.

Facing this problem, it would seem wise to use a web-based email interface. Problem here is that you will have to constantly monitor a web-based email account for new inquiries. Can you imagine pain of relying on web-based email for operation of your business? Unless your web mail system contacts you immediately upon arrival of new email, then you must maintain an open browser window to your web mail account and continually refresh window to see if there is new email to answer.

Relying upon your web email account for your support inquiries can become very time consuming and inefficient.

The advantages of having ability to have one email account monitored by a number of people, and having ability to move some emails to different folders should weigh heavily in your consideration of using web-based email for your sales and support inquiries.

Web-based email had seemed like perfect solution for cost-aware business person, but disadvantage of troubles of keeping an eye for incoming mail seem to eliminate this as a realistic solution to our problem, doesn't it?

I had argued with myself concerning how to solve this problem for many months. I needed an effective sales and support inquiries system without spending my entire budget to get it. But you know, if you stew over a problem long enough and keep your eye to horizon, a solution will present itself.

As it turned out, a piece of software I had on my system for quite some time figured into solution I had been searching for. With last upgrade of ePrompter software, I suddenly realized that final piece of puzzle was within my reach.

ePrompter is a handy little application that has always permitted us to check multiple email accounts simultaneously and delete messages as we were finished with them. With last upgrade of ePrompter, makers enabled us to have ability to respond to email inquiries also.

With this development, I have handed out copies of ePrompter to each of my support team members. ePrompter runs in background and notifies us through an icon in System Tray how many new messages are present in each of accounts we monitor. As we answer each email, we either delete it from server through ePrompter software, or if we need to store messages for future reference, we log into web-based version of account and move email in question to appropriate folders.
