Why is My Mailbox Always Full?


If you've tried to make some decent money online, you'll probably start off all fresh and somehow get all caught up with thousands of emails weekly or even daily and wondering how you could better organize yourself... Yes, spam mails and scam mails are flooding your inbox and in your efforts to filter off the nuisance kind of emails, you might accidentally be filtering off emails that really matter to you and wasting a lot of unrecoverable precious time!

What happened? You might be asking... or you might already know the answers but not realizing it...

See, when you begin to opt in to opportunities or join some form of list which involves some form of subscription or verification, your mailbox nightmare has arrived. That's just the beginning... This is a self-created mess coupled with other people's marketing mess... Then, as an enterprising netpreneur, you start to build your own list(s) and allow people to subscribe or opt in through your websites or blogs or capture pages... Then, you'll find your inbox getting fuller than usual...

Well, here's why. The people who opt in to your list might be your uncool "competition" or some spammy marketer who surprisingly could also be marketers who are making loads online using these unethical spamming techniques. I shall not mention names. They know who they are and they know that there are people who know so too. They would even include some of the big names... This is nothing new. Most of these people are also junkies who are trying to make a quick buck.

See, people who have been online long enough know that if they can just get into someone's inbox, it's a matter of time they make their sales provided their email series can convert. I shall not mention names, but if you see such people appearing in your inbox, what I'd suggest you to do is either filter them into a junk folder... or seek out their email address(es) from your list(s) and unsubscribe them. I'll usually do the former myself.

How did they do it? See, they just need to set up an autoresponder email series, and opt into your list using their autoresponder email address. So, every time your own autoresponder sends them an email, you'll receive their series all over again. Okay, sometimes it's just a single autoresponding email instead of a whole series. Some will even spam you with your own email address and/or spam others as well using a fake email account that seems to originate from you, maybe in the hope to get your domain name into trouble. Something like nonsense@your-domain-name.com. Whichever the case, it's still a form of unethical spamming.

Along with these undesirable emails, you'll get all kinds of scams too! So, how do you solve your inbox problem? The key lies in managing your inbox. If it's too much of a problem, get a new email account. To be wiser, have your personal and business email accounts as two separate email accounts. That will save you a lot of trouble when it comes to the probability of you receiving spam and scam emails.

Please share this article with as many people as you can so that we can fight this kind of unethical spamming more effectively. Thank you for your kind attention =)

With less garbage to deal with, you'll have more energy to deal with things that really matter.
