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.
