I'm sure you are as well.

With all the email we receive -- people pitching us products... sharing the secrets of the universe... how to get rich by the time we go to bed -- and the product launches -- getting the same email from 30 or 40 people day after day.

It has to end.

So I ended it.

I put to high a price on my time to read email after email -- that have no true value to me, just so these folks can pitch me their latest and greatest whiz banger.

Unsubscribe ~ You’ve got mail

I did something that I’ve needed to do for a long time… I unsubscribed from over one hundred (yep, over a 100) lists I had subscribed to over the last few years.

After that… I decided it was time to delete a few bookmarks of sites I frequent far to much. Over the years, I had bookmarked literally thousands of sites — deleted all but ninety four, and that still sounds like a lot.

Same thing with the email subscriptions.

Honestly, I found this to be my top time waster of anything I used to do.

I can’t remember who or where I heard it from… but a few years back, I remember someone saying you need to subscribe to all your competitors newsletters (to study what they are doing)… as well as Marketers lists who seem to know what they are doing… to see how they do it.

So I did.

Up until the last year or so… it wasn’t to bad.

Here lately though, it is truly out of control.

Here’s a link to his free Internet Marketing Cure ebook.
