A valuable lesson in Email

I just returned from a 2-week road trip to Salt Lake City, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, and other wonderful places. Along the way, my wife and I hauled along our laptop to blog about the trip, post photos for family viewing, and to check email.

On this trip I realized I still get a lot of email. All kinds of internet marketing promotions from joining so many different sites. Probably 80% of my emails were notifications about the latest and greatest offer to make me successful on the internet. Even with a recent bout of unsubscribing from such lists about 4 weeks ago, I realize I still have a ways to go.

I hereby resolve that I am going to spend this prep week unsubscribing from anyone’s mailing list I haven’t read in the last month. My focus is on building a content-based affiliate website that generates $500 per month. Other email offers are merely distractions towards that goal.

I suggest you evaluate your inbox overload and start unsubscribing, too.
