On one of the forums I frequent, people have been discussing opt-in mailing lists and autoresponders from “gurus”. A lot of people seem to agree that most of the stuff that they receive is junk. A lot of these so called “gurus” are pimping out a lot of garbage. The consensus seems to be opting out of these lists. This allows one to focus at the task at hand.

Seeing first-hand that a lot of my emails from these mailing lists are spammy in nature, I’ve decided to follow in their footsteps and opt out. It’s amazing how these emails can just suck you into their world. A lot of hype and fear is instilled in you to make you want or even need their product. Some of these “gurus” email so frequently, it irritates the heck out of me. I simply end up deleting all their future emails.

So I’ve finally opted out of most of these mailing lists. I only kept the ones that provide me with real information. I’ve been away on business for a good solid week. I opened up the email account I use for these lists and I didn’t have to sort through any garbage. Whew. Now, I’m simply back on track. I really recommend that you give it a try.
