Email Marketing Solutions for Internet Network Marketers: Are you in Email Hell?
November 11, 2008 10:50 PM
Do you remember when email was first created? Remember how excited everyone was to actually see an email appear just like a letter in your mailbox? Do you still feel like that on Monday morning after you've taken the weekend off? There are a lot of tips that can decrease email stress if you put them into practice.
It is important to manage email or it can quickly take over your entire day. The average worker receives about 200 emails per day. It is important to have a system in place to take care of emails just like any other task you undertake during the day. Remember, email was introduced to help us save time, not waste it.
Email contributes to our feeling of information overload. This feeling
can affect our quality of work. By sitting down in front of a computer and viewing incoming emails,
it can feel as if 100 people came up to us while we were working and told us something we needed to do. In
case you are wondering why you never seem to accomplish anything, this source of constant information can take
away your focus. I have never been the professional secretary type, so I had to look into
email marketing solutions.
How can you manage email?
- Before checking email in the morning, take care of important tasks first; like the tasks you wake up remembering to take care of. If not, you might postpone important obligations.
- Do a clean sweep in the morning and access the pressing emails, and schedule your task list and calendar while viewing them. Experts suggest checking email twice a day.
- Instead of communicating back and forth about appointments, etc., propose a few solutions and shorten the length of email exchanges. Ask fewer questions.
- When emails are being sorted thru, assign them to folders in order to organize and de-clutter your inbox. That leaves important emails front and center.
- Unsubscribe to companies whose email campaigns you usually don't find time to read. Find ways to receive fewer emails. Fewer emails mean less stress.
- If you use Outlook, close out the program during non -email time to eliminate the sound, and avoid seeing the emails come thru. Watching them come thru can throw off your focus. On a busy day, it can be like watching planes landing in an International airport!
- Send fewer emails by using an email marketing company. If you are in Network Marketing, schedule whatever you have to say into a newsletter or email auto-responder program.
