If you have (or have aspirations for) an internet business, then for goodness sake, treat it with respect. Treat it like a business.
If you have friends you want to send the latest chain mail, then by all means use Yahoo or your ISPs email account. It’s non-critical right?
It doesn’t matter if your friend doesn’t receive it. (He won’t because it’ll be filtered out on the network).
But if you’re doing business, then use a business email address off one of your own domains.

After a lot of thought, I realised the other day while talking to one of my coaching students that marketing forums tend to have two kinds of people in them.
Type 1 - People who offer dubious but convincing sounding advice, but have no real success online, and so aren’t really qualified to give the advice, they’re just regurgitating.
Type 2 - People who are successful online and who are giving usually good advice, but are primarily using the forum to market to everyone else in subtle ways.

…the primary reason I’m moving to a support desk is that email is becoming increasingly difficult to deliver.
As I said in a post this morning, I’m getting an increasing number of “second request:” emails from people. This is nearly always because they haven’t received my reply to their first email.
The system sends out emails, but even if the customer doesn’t receive the emails and wonders what’s going on, the answer will still be there in the support thread.
So the line of communication between me and my customer (or *you* and *your* customer) isn’t cut off.
I get more than I want proposals for joint ventures, and a decent proportion of those are from supposed business people who aren’t using email addresses off their business domain.
That one thing is so simple to do, and instantly enhances your credibility. It also ensures that if a reply is made, that you’ll get it.
I’ve no idea of the number of bounces I’ve had replying to questions by my customers and potential customers. I also know there’s a high proportion of people who never get my first email, because I get plenty of “Second Request:” emails from people who didn’t get my initial reply.

I’ve decided to do an occasional spot where you can ask me any question you like about internet business.
To qualify for an answer, you can only ask me a question on your own blog by making a post and then doing a trackback to this one within your post. I’ll then see the question appear in my admin panel, and I can write a whole blog post answering you.

Prediction: He will never make any substantial money online.
Why? In his core, he believes information holds no value. If he has no respect for information, then he’ll never appreciate its true worth.
If he doesn’t appreciate it, then that feeling will come across to his customers. He’ll be the guy who believes the lowest price always wins.
Consequently, he’ll never make any money, and never be independent.

I remember reading a report just over 12 months ago that said that 2% of the worlds population owned more than 50% of the total world wealth, and that people in the top 5% owned pretty much most of it.
I also read a short report on a study by (I think, not sure) the London School of Economics that said if all the estimated world wealth were to be divided equally, then it would amount to about £10,000 ($20,000) for every man woman and child alive at the time.
The report went on to say that if the money were actually given out in that way, ie level the playing field for everybody, then in 10 years or less, 2% of the worlds population would own the best part of it.
If you’ve decided to take action, then why not join my email coaching?
There are 10 slots with 9 people already on the waiting list from a post I made three weeks ago.
When I announce the opening, it will be first come first served.
The first 10 people on that list to subscribe to a $300 / month payment will get a slot.

Somehow, he thinks I’m responsible for his actions. He chose to be somewhere else on two occasions, and consequently missed out. He’s clearly annoyed that it’s going to cost him $10 to get the information that was free, and now blames me for what he did.
Why would anyone not want to take responsibility for their own life? As a child it’s understandable, but once you reach at least your teens you should have learned by then that every action you take has consequences.
So, he’s missed out this time. But at least he’s on the list now. He won’t miss out when I announce a nickel sale starting at $1 for my new software in a password protected post next week will he? He won’t have to pay $97 when it goes on general release will he?
Oh. Yes he will have to pay $97. He unsubscribed.
Oh dear. Some people just don’t learn.
So, what have you learned from I’ve done this week?
