There are hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to make an honest
living on the Internet these days. The Internet is a great opportunity for starting
your own business. There is not a lot of start-up cost, you can reach the whole
world from a small corner of your own house, and the income can be exceptional.
However, a lot of us publishers and Internet marketers are running into a serious
problem.
Before I start talking about it, I want to ask you all a question - How many
of you get junk snail mail? Everyone, right? Now, how many of you call the cops
when you get it? None, right? Of course not because that would be ridiculous!
We simply throw it in the trash and forget about it. Very easy, right?
What I don't understand is why it is not as simple as that with your email.
We have all received junk email, also known as spam. Just junk mail of the Internet,
right? So why do so many people make such a big deal about it??? I know that
reputable publishers and marketers have been reported to "spam cops"
and were caused serious problems because of it. And why? Not because they have
done anything wrong, but because a subscriber forgot they subscribed to the
ezine or they forgot they requested information or some other foolish reason.
Now we have to deal with a thing called "spam filters"! Not only
do these "filters" keep legitimate ezines, emails, reports, etc. from
going through, but the amount of spam has only increased! These "filters"
are also causing many problems for publishers and subscribers alike!
I have also had an experience of being reported for spam. Someone requested
one of my articles by autoresponder. Well, they received the article and then
a couple of days later a follow-up thank you note. Apparently this thank you
note pi**ed them off because they reported me to my ISP. I then received a phone
call from my ISP telling me my email account was going to be cancelled immediately!
Well, it took me awhile, but I finally was able to explain that the person who
received that email had to have requested my article by autoresponder. There
was no other way he could have gotten that message.
So, I was able to save my account, but I know of several people who didn't
get off so easy.
I rarely gripe about anything like this because I know a lot of computer problems
are out of our control, but this is a problem caused by people, not machines!
This is really getting out of hand.....so I have come up with a very simple
yet effective idea for getting rid of spam! Are you ready for this???
Ok, first you click on the sp~m message in your inbox.Make the determination
( be sure now) that it is, indeed, spam. Then you stick up your index or other
finger if you prefer ( be nice now) ;-) and push the magic button marked D-E-L-E-T-E.
This will make the spam magically disappear!
I have used this method of sp~m destruction since starting on the Internet
and have found it to be most effective. I receive hundreds of sp~m messages
a day, but always manage to make each and every one disappear forever!
I also have some tips for people who do not want to receive any so-called spam:
1. Do Not subscribe to any newsletters!
2. Do Not sign-up for special offers!
3. Do Not request any information via autoresponder!
4. Do Not send any email to anyone at anytime!
5. Do Not use your email for any reason whatsoever!
I assure you if you follow all these tips you will never receive any spam!
I know I have been a little ridiculous in making my point, but that just is
my point. All this hullabaloo about sp~m is ridiculous. It is simply junk mail
and can be deleted without any trouble, hassle or problems!
Try it a few times and you will soon be like me - I have the fastest delete
finger in the Midwest!! Anyone care to challenge me?? ;-)
Wishing you a wonderfully warm and joyous Christmas!
