E-mail Anxiety That Comes With Your New Business

Too many people are now suffering from e-mail anxiety due to what they think to be great products or MLM programs that they have found on the Internet. Here you may find some steps to avoid developing this disorder.

Are you suffering from e-mail anxiety? If you are not sure then ask yourself a few questions.

1. Have you recently encountered what you think to be a really great business opportunity or product that you would love to resell online? 2. Have you created a web page and began e-mail advertising on your new product or program? 3. Have you bought and paid for quality leads? 4. Have you signed up for more than just one program? 5. Are you spending more than 12 hours a day at your computer?

If you answered "yes" to at least 2 of these questions then you may be suffering from e-mail anxiety.

We have found a program/product or programs/products that we truly believe in. Then the hard part comes and we have to find a way to get our program/product in front of our customers. We learn that we have to advertise. Not having much money may limit our advertising so we begin with all of the free advertising sites or programs that we can find. We begin with the traffic exchange systems. We click and click and click away until our poor little fingers are cramping. We sit back and watch our mailbox as we anxiously wait for e-mails to come pouring in our inbox with signups to our program or sales for our product. We get lots of traffic to our site and a few free signups as members to add to our mailing list, but no sales. So we figure that we are going to have to devise a new strategy because we must be doing something wrong. Now we sign up for an ezine directory giving us an average of 50 people to mail to every day. We sit back and watch our mailbox as we anxiously wait for e-mails to come pouring in our inbox with signups to our program or sales for our product. We have worse luck with this approach because we get no visitors to our site and only a couple of free signups per month. So it’s back to the drawing board. Let’s try a safe list. Putting our e-mail advertisement in front of 700 people at once should bring in at least a good couple of paying members or a couple of sales right? WRONG. Now we have an e-mail box full of noloop e-mails that we are just deleting at once because there are so many to read! If we are doing this then so are the rest, so therefore our e-mails are not getting read. Ok so maybe the free advertising route isn’t the way to go to get the quick response that we are looking for. Hmmm here it says that we can send our promotion to over 50,000 people for as little as $15.00. Sounds like a good deal, so let’s try that. Now we learn what FFA pages are. Geez! Our e-mail inbox is flooded again with different types of e-mails that appear to be coming from some type of FFA pages. These are harder to determine which ones can be deleted since they came from many different types of e-mail addresses. So we have to handpick through these to make sure we are not deleting something important. And don’t you get so frustrated and angry when you find those that trick you into opening there e-mails with the tricky subject lines like, “Your payment has been processed” and then when you open the e-mail it’s just another marketer trying to sell you something? I mean give me a break! Who wants to do business with a sneaky little twerp that hides the truth from you? Ok so we chalk our $15.00 up on a loss. We are NOT I repeat NOT giving up on this! There HAS to be a way to get our product in front of the people that count. I know that others are doing it and so can I. I guess I am going to have to break down and pay for something. Here is an ad for a Bulk opt in mailing list of 300,000 spam free people for $70.00. They say that you pay for what you get, so let’s see if that old scenario holds any truth to it. We are anxiously waiting for the e-mails to start pouring in. I myself am personally afflicted with e-mail anxiety and can not wait to find a cure! Stay tuned for future updates on e-mail anxiety.
