FFA sites are places where anyone can post a short ad with a link, as long as they agree to accept emails from site owner. Some of most popular sites are

At first thought this seems like a remarkable way to advertise. But, there are major problems here.

First off, only way for advertisement to work is for people to visit FFA site where it is posted. But only people it seems that visit these sites are those that post an ad. To make matters worse, 99% of posts are done now through autosubmiters. So who actually sees your ad? Absolutely no one.

You may have received emails from FFA site owners of claiming that advertising via an FFA is worthless unless you actually own site. Their flawed reasoning (which I will explain shortly) is that as owner, you get to post your own ads on site, and better yet, collect email addresses of everyone posting. Moreover, you receive commissions on anyone signing up to purchase an FFA site of their own.

But wait! It gets better. The same people will claim that when submitting your ad, create a separate email account to store large number of autoresponder messages you will receive and other advertisements. So, if you don't want your primary email account to fill up, create a secondary account and simply delete emails as they come in.

If you work from home then you know that your time is valuable. Creating ways to automate your home business can save valuable time or even provide you with more time to build your business. By pinpointing things that take up largest part of your time, you will be able to begin to find more efficient ways to complete your work.

Managing your email or communication is a great place to start. Whether it be simple emails or answering questions over phone, you can become more efficient. Being in a situation where you have to tell people same thing many times can become overwhelming; don’t worry, you can easily lessen you workload.

If you are answering questions over phone then make sticky notes of common questions and answers. If you’re on go then get one of those tiny spiral notepads. Instead of writing out detailed answers, just make a checklist of things that you must say to your customer to answer specific question. Once you spend some time doing this you will end up with most of your answers memorized; this makes it easy to find even better ways to handle your customer’s questions or problems.

Perhaps email is where your redundancy is; email is even easier to deal with than phone communication. If you send email with same type of information to each of your customers then you’ve got a lot of typing to do; let’s make this easier!
