Emails wasted so much of my life

I have recently changed the way that I use the internet.

No longer do I go through the hundreds of emails that arrive in my several email inboxes, intead, I assiduously examine all of the 'unsubscribe' links to ensure that they are genuine. Then - I unsubscribe!

Those emails with unsubscribe links that I do not consider genuine are relegated to the spam folder.

My inboxes are no longer straining to contain hundreds of duplicated/cloned emails and the vast majority of my spam emails are eliminated with a single click of the mouse (that phrase is proof that I have read too many internet sharketing emails!).

No longer do I see multiple, idemtical subject lines in my inboxes. No longer do I fall for 'I sent the wrong link', 'A free product for you' or 'Get roogoogooroos latest software today'. No longer am I opening emails that offer a free product without actually telling me what the free product is but asking that I subscribe to the list of the author of the free product.

All of a sudden (actually it took a little effort) I am not spending hours every day reading fascile and intelligence-insulting emails from internet sharketers! I have several hours of extra time every day in which (just like parents with a new baby) I ask myself what I used to do with my time. Since I can only see well for a couple of hours a day, this is a real benefit and ensures that I do not miss any important messages!

It has been a humbling experience to realise that I have wasted so much of my life reading lies and studying incomplete, bogus, illegal or totally useless information from internet sharketers.

I USED TO BELIEVE SOME OF THESE GUYS!!!

I suppose I miss being told about the latest greatest regurgitation of the 1982 ebook that will make me a fortune yesterday. I do miss some of the hyperbole and redundant superlatives that seem to be the stock-in-trade of the sharketers but I have made an amazing discovery - the sales pages for real products that actually work are short, to the point and informative.

They also come from the few people I trust - the real internet marketers.
