I don’t, Sire. That’s because I unsubscribe quickly, and that ends that. Or are you talking about your blog? I still don’t get that kind of spam, I must say.

Yeah I’m with you there. My spam filter gets most of them but I still have to sort through a hundred or so a day.

For me, it’s not even the high prices, though I’m not going to be the one paying them. It’s the escalating of email and new products once they get your email address that drives me batty.

It’s a shame that people try to rip others off, but I don’t blame someone for trying to increase their profit margin. The only reason so many people get away with charging exorbitant prices is because not enough people take the time to do the proper research.

Good morning, Mitch.

I’m still conflicted. I ask myself similar questions every day and I still have not arrived at a firm overall conclusion.

I agree — two honest (and ethical) guys trying to make a buck (and help others in the process).

Act on your dream!

Hi John,

Though you say you’re conflicted, it certainly looks to me as though you actually have taken your position already. Nothing has to be absolute, but you seem to be strongly in agreement with much of what I’ve said here.

Maybe we’re just two honest guys looking to make a buck, eh?

Good evening, Mitch.

I read this poat yesterday, but wanted to take some time to think about it before adding my two cents’ worth.

Even after taking time to think about it, my thoughts are still unclear on this subject.

I enjoy marketing and promoting things online, but I’m really fed up with some of the things you talk about.

I’m tired of subscribing to a list that looks good, only to be sent offer after offer that I just see no benefit in purchasing.

Last year, I started to feel like I was on a treadmill, and started dropping a lot of things that weren’t helping me progress in building my business.

I do think that building a mailing list is probably the single most important thing you can do in business, yet I agree with you. What’s the point if you’re not going to offer something substantial with each mailing?

Daily mailings are ridiculous. Weekly mailings in many cases are not worthwhile. For myself, I’m trying to find something I can send out once or twice a month that will be helpful.

I don’t like it when someone treats me like an email address with a credit card, so I certainly don’t want to treat my readers that way, either.

I’m still thinking about this.

Act on your dream!

True, but isn’t it a shame life works like that?

It’s the same here, that’s why you have to shop around and never ever take a quote as gospel.
