This article can help you cope with a very common growth pain: that of being swamped with email. Some of it junk, some of it helpful reading material, some of it important correspondence that you must reply to and/or file away for future reference.

The email glut can cost you dearly. Here's your first tip on dealing with it:

* Start with a good email program.

This is a foundation stone of efficient Internet business operations. Here are some top email programs that can help you automate much of your email operations, based on collective opinions of many experienced cyberpreneurs:

1) Pegasus: http://www.pmail.com/

2) Eudora Pro: http://www.eudora.com/

3) MS Outlook: http://www.microsoft.com/outlook/

* Learn and use automation features of a good email program.

All above programs help automate various email activities to one degree or another, through features generally referred to as "filters." If you're not using an email program with automated filtering capabilities, or if you have one but aren't taking advantage of filters feature, seriously consider it.

* Arrange well-organized email folders.

If too much email sits in "In Box" of your email program, it can get overwhelming, and it's very easy to overlook high-priority messages. You can reduce that by using filters to move certain messages to folders specifically set aside for them.

(With Pegasus, you can also set up a series of "Quick Folder" keys, which allow you to quickly copy or move messages to certain folders with just a couple of keystrokes.)

* Periodically assess your email flow.

Subscribing to too many email lists can also contribute to your email deluge. If overwhelmed, periodically step back, assess which lists are delivering you true value - and which aren't - and unsubscribe from those that don't make grade.

To save time, you can temporarily move those you want to cancel to a folder named "To Unsubscribe," and cancel several at once.

* Reduce spam.

Starting a Business and Marketing it primarily on internet is one of most serious decisions any ONE person can make. It takes 100%... *Dedication *Determination *Hard Work *Tons of Research *Serious Attitude ...And YES, a lot of Hours

And this is just start. This day in age, we have technology on our side. But it is person that makes a business successful. You cannot just jump online, pick something that is FREE and plan on making a bundle working only 3 hours a day. I know many businesses promise it, but it is just not that simple. I have been marketing online for sometime now, and I have yet to see actual facts to back up these claims.

The fact remains that some people just are not cut out for making an online business work. A Successful business person requires proper skills, business manner, know-how, and creative talent in order to even begin on a path in right direction. I have seen it a million times and expect to see it a million more. That is why 95% of online businesses fail, lack of originality and individualism.

So what do we do to set up a successful business online? POINT BLANK- GET SERIOUS AND PERSONAL

What do I mean by this? You need to create your own product. This is plain truth. Also, do not be afraid of a direction that your product or business takes. There is nothing wrong with starting down one path and then finding a better one. As long as you are not jumping at every "opportunity" that comes along, and you go with ideas that your product takes you. For that is how one stumbles upon road to success.

But that is not all. There is so much more entailed into being successful. Let's cover bases on where to start finding what is right for you, taking an idea and utilizing it in making your own unique business. And that is key word, "UNIQUE".

How to create your own Product: This does not mean you have to formulate your own product. You can use existing products that are being sold online, but key is to build your own product line out of it. This means using your own creativity. Take a product or service that you know will flourish. Something people will get something out of. The most important part of this is that it is something you believe is 100% worthy of you taking time and energy to build upon and make a career out of.

Obviously we all are in some sort of business on internet at this present time, but it might not be drawing attention way you were hoping, and it is not always your marketing techniques that causes your business to go sour. It just may be your product OR lack of product line.

So how do you create your own unique business with "Your Own Product"? By creating a website that is YOU and marketing your business from YOUR viewpoint. Have your primary product or service as main streamline of your business, but build on it. Do not just be a follower, but use your OWN individual points of view. Learn to grow and find out what you are capable of. Offer other things that will enhance on your main product or service to attract a wider range of prospects. This is what will make it unique. Because it will be YOUR product line, your words of wisdom, and your belief that will make it sell. NO ONE will have same product line as you because you built it yourself, by using various products and services that enhance each other, that is being "Unique". This is heart and soul of your business and only YOU can make it work!
