Improve productivity by cutting out spam

I love spamarrest. I couldn't live without it.
At the very best, I see only emails enter my email account that have been approved by me. Then I go to their website and quickly scan the mail it blocked -- 99 percent is junk. The one percent that should have gone through usually is from new clients who haven't clicked on the approval option.

I check the folder in the morning and then 2-3 times a day. It really works.

Here's another tip: I have a lot of domains (publicity for doctors, trainers, consultants, etc.) that I just post a page for, but don't have active emails addresses. The spammers found that sites and send me junk, so we disabled the email option on those sites. That cut down spam a lot. So if you have old sites, pointer sites, or sites that you really don't need mail from, you might want to do this.
I'd heartily recommend spam arrest (and I get an affiliate commission if you click on this link)

Time Management: Gain an hour a day!

If you're like me, you are inundated by spam. Each time your email refreshes, you see more and more junk you have to delete. This just wastes time!

I didn't realize how much time I lost until I subscribed to a service that blocks spam called SpamArrest.

You've probably seen this service. I know I have, because many of the people I send messages to are using Spam Arrest to protect themselves from junk mail.

Here's what it does:

It blocks spam. Pure and simple. It basically gets all the mail from your server and sorts it. When it sees a name of someone you approved, the message goes to your inbox. If the sender has not been approved, the message sits in Spam Arrests' verification folder on its website. You go to the at site periodically and approve or disapprove of the senders.

This might sound like a lot of work, but it is really easy -- and fast.

The result is that not only do I get less spam, but also, I am not interrupted every 10 minutes to alerts that turn out to junk. It's been shown that when you are interrupted, it takes longer to focus on the task then if you hadn't been interrupted. That was my old life. A series of interruptions by spammers.

In my new life, I find that I get my real messages from real clients faster so I can serve my clients better.

If you want to be in control of your life -- and your inbox, get your copy of SpamArrest today -- and tell your friends!
