E-mail Anxiety That Comes With Your New Business Opportunity
By Barbara Pinyan
® March 2004
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.
