<\/p>\nIf you have been trolling on the internet for a while, dollars to donuts says that you get a lot of emails in your inbox every day. I know I get gazillions, and while a part of me wants to scream \u201cstop the SPAM!\u201d another part of me knows that at least half of those emails \u2013 if not more \u2013 are there because I subscribed to them. I talk to extremely successful internet marketers, and they all tell me that they too have overflowing inboxes and that they even pay attention to the spam because they want to see how others are marketing and sometimes, there might even be a good idea.<\/p>\n
But you are not a guru (yet), and neither am I. (Hint: The gurus have staff.) These are all time thieves. Every course I have ever taken told me to apply the brakes to the emails. Emails are a distraction and take away from productivity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jokes sent by your friends \u2013 don\u2019t forward, better yet, don\u2019t open. In fact, send an email to your buddies and tell them that you are going to focus on a project online and that, in an effort to keep emails down to a minimum, to please withhold sending the jokes, the chain letters, the beautiful poetry, and whatever else it is that clutters your inbox from your well-meaning and loving friends.<\/p>\n
Newsletters that have nothing to do with Digital Marketing or, better yet, blogging. If there are some newsletters that you really enjoy reading, take note of the URLs, and then when your blogging muscles begin to strengthen, you can start re-subscribing again, s-l-o-w-l-y, one at a time!<\/p>\n
Clicking on an item that caught your eye on MSN \u2026 it probably has nothing to do with Internet Marketing.<\/p>\n
You will be surprised at just how much time you will have carved out for yourself\u2014time that you will now be able to put to good use and focus on your blogging. Time is the biggest investment you can make in this business, and while it does not take actual hard cash out of your pocket, applied properly, it will put money in your bank. Now, is that good or good?<\/p>\n
There are some things you should continue to subscribe to. A prime example would be if you are currently taking a course. Then you need to accept and read continuing updates, new material, and so on. That is a given. If you are shadowing this blog and setting one up yourself, you need to subscribe to the RSS feed or the \u201cfollow me\u201d button.<\/p>\n
I currently have three courses. They are all related and specific to blogging. What I write here is a distillation of the three. I am writing about the baby steps that I think are the best way to start your blogging career. They are all courses for a fee. I don\u2019t like to recommend things that I have not either actually done myself or at least reviewed in detail.<\/p>\n
A study by McKinsey found that the average professional spends 28% of their work week managing emails<\/strong>. A freelance blogger in Mumbai reported that she received 90\u2013120 promotional emails per day<\/strong>.
\nFor a blogger trying to grow a business, that\u2019s hours lost which could have been spent writing content, building funnels, or generating leads.<\/p>\n
