It absolutely blows my mind the amount of so called "Business People" out there that honestly believe that sending me an endless amount of un-solicited e-mails telling me how new and great there business opportunity is will actually convince me to invest (or more often waste) my money with them.

I understand that it was not that long ago that spamming people could actually generate sales, but those days are long gone and not missed.

What ever happened to plain old fashioned quality information???

Anyone that has been around more than 24 hours in this wonderful industry can tell you that e-mail blasts, safe lists, traffic exchanges, free classifieds, bulk traffic campaigns, and the likes, are NO LONGER EFFECTIVE!!!!

If I want to know about your business opportunity I will ask you! A majority of people that I know feel the same way!

Am I saying not to promote your business? Absolutely not! I am simply stating that you should learn how to do it properly and effectively!

The problem is...most people doing it wrong have never had anyone show them how to do it right!

I always say that I don't believe most people are doing what is wrong...I believe that they have simply never been shown to do whats right!!!!

The bottom line here people is DON'T SPAM!!! PERIOD!

Now the trend seems to be to say "I normally don't send these kind of e-mails BUT I am just so excited about this I had to share it!"

Listen...you can put as much peanut butter and jelly on it as you want, but it is still SPAM!

If you are not sure what is spam and what is not, ask someone that knows! If you are not totally sure if what you are doing is proper...ASK SOMEONE!

Heck...ask me! I will be glad to help. That is what I do.
