We all remember the days when we opened our email accounts for the first time and then felt so special when we received emails from people we did not know. If you were anything like me, you probably spent hours opening emails, just to be sure that you did not miss out on an important message all the while getting lassoed into purchasing things I did not know I even wanted.

As years went on, somehow getting on other people's lists was easier than bringing the sun up every morning. Inevitably I, the reader, became slowly sucked into joining new marketing programs and purchasing new tools. The newfangled 'one time offers' take more will power than most people have, to say no. Never mind reaching a 2nd page where the one time offer is now at half price. It seems that the credit card never gets put back into its slot.

Is email marketing a good thing?

If you are currently already committed to marketing a program, having your time diluted with external offers like more marketing materials, more software and webinars means you have less time to devote to the program you have spent good money on. And time does equal money.

The more time you spend reading sales letters, visiting sales pages and purchasing new marketing products, the less time you are spending promoting your own business, which you have promised your internal partner that you were committed to it when you first joined.

The solution is simple. Do not sign up for more autoresponder series. If that is not possible, then sign up for the report you can not live without , read it and then hit the unsubscribe button. This will free up your time, will make you more productive and success will come sooner.

One tip I use when I become distracted with email offers, is to get out my copy of 'Science of Getting Rich' and refocusing. I become instantly more productive.

You can do it. You can break the habit of clicking on those email offers. Every day, hit one of those unsubscribe links and just see how empowered you can feel. Or just wait a few weeks and you will more than likely find the program/book/software being sold on an auction site for less.
