I know this might not deal directly with "getting your credit back" per say... but I still wanted to bring this topic up because there are quite a few of us out there trying our best to get business, increase our income, and make sure we don't fall behind the bills... otherwise that would result in our credit being effected.
With that being said... this is something you might want to watch out for and that is sending an email blast everyday or let's say....way too often! I have a few friends who send emails out now twice a day, three times a day...and it is getting out of hand. It has come to the point where I do a quick scan... (only because I know them... otherwise I would delete it immediately)... But then I do end up deleting their emails after my quick check.
It has come to that point... If I see this person's email....I already want to delete it because it is the same "crap" that just keeps giving.... "Ouch! Right?"
I am not trying to be harsh but if you keep sending an email blast out every day with the same "stuff" .....blah, blah, blah, blah....then it will become "The Email That Cried Wolf!" You need to provide some kind of value to the email otherwise it will get deleted as soon as it arrives.
A fair warning if you will... when you are email blasting... try and perhaps send one out once a week and have some value to the message. I would suggest perhaps creating a blog (hopefully with some value to the readers) and then try and get your readers to that blog via LinkedIn or Facebook as an alternate substitute. Try and mix it up some so your messages have a chance of being read and instead of being shot on site.
Again... I think this might be something for all of us to consider...I am just as guilty as the next to try and exploit one's business and get our names out there. By all means don't give up on trying to spread your message, business, etc. Persistence, persistence, persistence! It is a fine balance we all need to watch out for.
We all want to increase our business but we do need to be careful of doing too much especially when it comes to emails. You don't want people to automatically delete you when they see your name and become the "The Email That Cried Wolf!"

It is far far easier to be a blocked junk mail and have your message lost. I recieve on a normal weekday 140 emails, we must prioritize our time. Therefore junk emails are not effective unless they give - give something of use.
ReplyDeleteI filter my emails on my Outlook. The majority of emails fall into my junk box so I am not overwhelmed with junk. But I do go through each one and check before I delete the email. Again, I think it is a delicate balance not be be thrown into the junk pile so I do my best to email "something of value" and not too often. That doesn't mean I too will not get rejected but I do make the effort.
