2. How much time to you waste posting ads in groups and
message boards that never get you anything? You know
what I am talking about. All of those free classifieds,
networking groups, spam groups & message boards. How
much time do you spend a week? I'm sure there are some
great groups that you are in where you get some good
networking, help, advice and tips; as well as good
advertising opportunities. But how many of them are just
a dumping ground for ads that never get seen and are just
piled in to all of the other members quick ad drops.
Sometimes more is not better. Many people join these
groups NOT to see your ad. The could care less about
what you are offering. They just want you to buy what
they are selling. There isn't much you can do about it, but
you can stop posting and visiting these groups/sites. If
3. How much junk email are you getting from these groups?
Probably a lot more from the useless groups than the
groups that you actually benefit from. I'll bet that you get
a ton of emails, even if you are only signed up for daily
digests. How much time do you spend just deleting the
emails from the groups that you really don't use anymore
or rarely go to? Take the time to delete your memberships
from these groups that are filling up your valuable time
and email spots. If you are in some opt in mailing list
groups that you are not getting anything out of, opt out.
Those emails will have a opt out option at the bottom of
the email.
4. So, go spring clean your memberships! Keep the good
ones, and chunk out the useless ones! Get the most out of
the memberships you keep. If you don't use it, lose it!
