Email Services Secret: Delete Unresponsive Email Lists


I m midway through the process of deleting over 3,500 subscribers from my email services provider database, and paused to share some thoughts about WHY I m doing this. 1. They May Buy Sometime is a myth We ve all heard it. A silent subscriber turns into a multi-thousand dollar spender after years of receiving your valuable content and insight by being on your email list. And if you ve been running email lists for long, you ll know it is a myth. One where exceptions prove the rule.  If that s your only rationale for keeping email addresses on your database, you re probably paying more for email services you won t profit much from. 2.

Overcome Procrastination Easily


(This is a part of the I Waste So Much Time series of posts designed to add to your personal power and productivity.) Habits help you act automatically, instead of consciously thinking things over and deciding whether or not to do them. How can you turn that into an advantage and overcome procrastination easily? Getting started is usually the hardest part of any new project or task. And it is by getting started promptly that the war on procrastination is won. Think about how many times you held off on beginning a project because you thought it was going to be hard work, or that you didn t have enough resources or skills to get it done, or weren t sure if you were the right person to do it and then, once you got started, it wasn t really that bad after all. Finishing a task is only half as difficult as starting one which is why the adage Well begun is half done makes perfect sense.
