Usually, most of us just use our inbox to receive emails, just like I did until some weeks ago, whether it is in Outlook, Eudora, Pegasus or whatever email program you might use.

As an online marketer you should be cleverer than that...

If you don't want to waste your time, sorting out these mails manually, you have to prepare your incoming mailbox and do something different to get a quick overview which emails are spam and can be deleted, which emails are worth looking at and which emails are urgent and have to be answered immediately.

You can do this by creating subdirectories in your inbox. Just split it up into categories like :

Spam Friends Marketing contacts Prospects Customers Newsletters Affiliates etc.

But, of course, you have to assign certain rules to your incoming emails, they won't split up into right boxes by themselves.

There is a simple solution to this: Email programs have filters which do work for you . I will use Outlook Express as an example as it is one of most spread email programs; you have to check explained options in your own email program and do it in a similar way (maybe in your program it is called "filters").

There it is....

YOUR business lying cold on ground, another company killed before it even began..

Today we are going to cover three fatal wounds to your business and what you can do to stop them.

Wound Number One: Buying too many products

Do you find yourself buying newest wiz bang super duper explode your profits product all too often?

I know, I know, It had a slick salesletter promising you money to moon and so many bonuses you just couldn't resist.

30 day money back guarantee you say? What do you have to lose???

Plenty. How do I know??

Well I WAS you not so long ago, 40 bucks here, 70 dollars there Gold package this, upgrade that just $25 more??? Before you know it whats left of your business startup money?

Not much. Hey look, on bright side you got some Great new ebooks :)

What do we do?? STOP. Stop right now. Go through your inventory of ebooks, courses, tape sets and read them. Huh?? Read them??? Yep. Apply and take notes on what you can and return what you can't use. Most products worth their salt have a return policy and if not, chalk it up as learning experience.

Wound Number Two: Subscribing to multiple paid sites and newsletters

They're sprouting up like wildfire now, Paid sites... just 27 bucks a month for instant access.. to this secret, insider, members only masterpiece.

All you need to take your business to next level blah blah HYPE.

As many famous marketers chant: FORGET THE HYPE! Become members of even a few and that could mean a good chunk of change to new guy with limited funds.

Paid newletters fall into same boat in my opinion and starting out you should steer clear of these. As far as free newsletters go, there are so many out there now that its hard to say whats useful.
