Nancy Darin tells me that her biggest problem last year, and
it continues to be, is the overwhelming amount of email she
receives every day. She says that it ‘robs’ her of time she
knows she should be putting in on her business.
Q: She wants to know – “How do I escape my email??”
A: I had a terrible problem with this very same distraction,
and for me it got to the point where I was receiving more
than 2500 pieces of email a day.
This is how I got a handle on it.
If you own webhosting and can use your own email addresses
or if you have to use free email addresses from Hotmail, Yahoo
mail or G-mail the solution is the same.
Create ‘junk’ email accounts for absolutely every membership
you join or type of email you receive but, be wise about it.
For memberships I use a memberships@— address, for
companies that I am an affiliate of I use an affiliatecos@—
email address, for Joint Ventures I use a jvgiveaways@—
email address and when I join a list just to get a little goodie
from someone I use a gift@ or even junk@— email address
Then I set up my email client with ‘message rules’.
This way, when I download my email, the pieces of email are
automatically put into like named email folders under my inbox,
that were created for them.
Then, if I have time I read what I want, and when I am short
on time I just erase, erase, erase.
Important emails never get missed because they are separated
out and put in the ‘read 1st’ email box I created for them and
junk emails are always dropped in the junk email boxes that
I can erase without worrying about reading them.
I also only download my email once a day, first thing in the
morning, this way if something hot has just hit the market,
my email about it will be one of the first to hit my readers
email box’s.
This way I can escape my email, accept for the pieces that
have to reach me.
This has cut my having to go through over 2500 pieces a day
down to a quick review of 150 or so, wow, what a difference.
I hope this was helpful for Nancy, and maybe even helpful
for a few of you also

David writes and says that he has (3) things he needs help
with.
Thing1
Focus – Finding a way to stop the research and complete
a project, but which one is best?
Thing2
Finding time to complete tasks. I have to drink my coffee
and eat once in a while. Oh, and that sleep thing…it is not
overrated, it really is necessary.
and Thing3
Money – How could anyone buy every fantastic program
that will make them tons of money?
Q: How are these problems related? and what is the
solution?
A: Well, first of all David you do need to focus -and- as
a matter of fact one of my first posts this year had to do
with accomplishing that very task.
You can find that post right here:
==> http://garrettdann.com/MarketingTacticsBlog/2009/01/14/goal-setting-for-2009-and-beyond/
If you take the time to read this post and do the steps it
outlines you will be able to prioritize the jobs you have to
accomplish into their order of importance which will give
you focus.
Stop analyzing projects and just pick one and get started
on it. Just force yourself to do this.
Yes you could do PLR, and you could do eBay, and you
could have a product made for you through outsourcing
-but- the only way you are going to know what you should
start with 1st is too make list of what each project you’re
considering will require of you.
If you pick your top (4) idea’s and then make lists of what
each one would require from you -and- what you think each
one would do for you or bring to your overall success – and
then compare the lists – your choice of what direction to go
and what project to proceed with 1st will be much a easier
one for you.
Schedule in time for relaxing and enjoying your coffee each
morning, you might need to get started with your day 15
minutes earlier than you currently are but you will be able
to enjoy your coffee or eat a relaxing lunch if you schedule
the time to do so.
So Focus – find a starting point through organization and close
comparison of what your alternatives are, then – Action – take
action on your comparison and move full force into acting
upon one of your projects with careful planning and close
scheduling.
Oh, and David, concentrate more on reading and educating
yourself on what your true options are, and the final path will
be a much clearer one.
Get away from the ‘analysis paralysis’, pick a project after
a carefully analyzing your options, and as Nike would say
- Just Do It!
Once you have accomplished your first ‘task’ you will feel
an excellent rush from the sense of accomplishment that
will follow.
After that, each task will come easier and be accomplished
more easily as well.
David, this will only help if you start by reading my post here:

I hope the solution I gave David helps him and some of
you as well.

Brandon D wants to know:
Q: What are some of the best places to buy traffic and
which ones are not scams?
A: Brandon, I have been doing business on the Net for more
than 8 years now and if there is one ‘true lesson’ that I have
learned it is – DON’T BUY TRAFFIC OR ‘HIT’ EVER!
These will not be people who are actually interested in your
offer and will require you to sell them on your product.
Well, let me back up a second. What I mean to say is, do
not purchase ‘lists’ or ‘targeted hits’ from the many ‘traffic
selling companies’.
This is not traffic that you would be happy with.
If you want to spend money to get hit’s I recommend that
you take a look at Anik’s and Amit’s PPC Classroom.
PPC stands for Pay Per Click, and there are no better
instructors anywhere for learning how to do Pay Per Click
advertising with outstanding results than Anik and Amit.
PPC Classroom is world renowned at this point -and- has
taught literally thousands of it’s members how to make
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
I myself have been a member and have truly had my eyes
opened as to the correct way to use PPC. They don’t tell
you to advertise on just Google either, they suggest a triple
pronged approach using Google Adwords, Yahoo Search
marketing and MSN’s PPC program as well – all at the
same time.
They really go into depth on how to research all the different
niches you might be looking at, and how to pick the one’s
that pretty much ensure your success.
I just sent my Dad some info on their company earlier today
as a matter of fact, so I happen to have it handy.
Unfortunately, their registration is now closed but, you can
sign up to be notified when they re-open, which seems to
be about every 3 months or so right now.
Here’s where you leave your name and email:
==> http://www.ppcclassroom.com/welcome.php
As for right now, I have another solution for you, and you
have probably even heard of it because it’s hitting the IM
world in a big way right now, it’s called Google Slapper!
I reviewed a copy of this, because the owner is a good
friend of a good friend of mine )
==> http://ie01gd1108.gslapper.hop.clickbank.net
Definitely check this one out Brandon.
Also, if I was considering buying traffic, and as a matter
of fact I have in the past, knowing what I know now, I
would have either put my money into PPC Classroom or
John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 or a membership with
Traffic Geyser.
You can check out John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0
offer right here:
==> http://www.trafficsecrets.com/itseasy
and You can check out Traffic Geyser’s offer right here:
==> http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=551857
But Brandon, honestly, if money is a factor, and when is
money not a factor… I would probably put my $47 into
a copy of Google Slapper, which you can get here:
==> http://ie01gd1108.gslapper.hop.clickbank.net
or Adeel’s new Google Ads Free Video’s product, which
you can get here:
==> http://ie01gd1108.ppcadsfree.hop.clickbank.net
Both are heavily backed by No Questions Asked, Money
Back guarantee’s – I know both owners -and they will
both bring you hordes of traffic for mere pennies, for
years to come.
Not one time traffic, paid for today and gone tomorrow
traffic, but instead – targeted traffic that is ‘already looking
for what you are offering – today – right now! – with money
in hand’
This is the kind of traffic you want if you want to pay for
traffic — so why not pay once, to learn how to generate
targeted traffic by the thousands for years to come – right!
I hope the solution I gave Brandon helps him, and some
of you as well.
