Overkill with emails

Hello to all!

Yesterday, I got a rush of emails in my letterbox. Not one from a person whom I even knew. Sometimes I feel that, in order to get a person's email, these email addresses are shared. They probably aren't. but when I have inquired about ONE thing from an address and even signed up for a report, what else am I to think? The last such occasion ended me with something like 15 spare emails which I had no interest in whatever.

I know marketers need to grow their lists, but surely ONE can send out one email alone and not involve all his or her joint marketers. This really does annoy me on occasions and often one person whom I may be interested in later on gets deleted forthwith. I also tend to remember these people and ignore them when I see their efforts online by themselves.

I know, I know. Shouldn't judge a person by their company. But it really does peeve me. I rarely sign up for anything, not exactly being interested in much that is being tooted online, except writing and information on a few topics, so this deluge does nothing for me. It is more likely to lose the person a sale, as a result.

Okay, so you want the report. badly. But i am beginning to think that it is easier to pay $5-$10 for one report which will have almost everything in it that I want without getting all these others which I want to know nothing about, apart from what I already know.

So maybe this is one thing you can look into when you start up your own online business. Don't be in such a hurry to hitch your wagon to just any JV. The other person may be one who likes bombarding email recipients  Again, I know, there are spamming rules in place, but some marketers do ride very close to the fence on this. I would be much happier if each marketer found a friend to market with who is an expert on some aspect of the article being sold. For example, instead of chasing a graphics designer around when I want to make a new website, I would be most grateful if I had the opportunity to hire both the web designer and the graphics all under one roof.

I can at least look at the package anyway. I do not have to take it, and a little yea or nay never hurt anyone, if accompanied by a smaller please or thank you!
