: : I hope somebody can answer this. I signed up for the Links2U Gold the day before yesterday. I now have 500 email messages. All of them opportunities, of course. My question is, what do I do with them?
: You signed up using your real email address instead of one created just for the L2u site as they recommend. Bad news Patty! You are now a target for all their mailings. Best thing to do would be to contact their admin and ask if they can change the address you registered. First of all get yourself a web based email account with Yahoo or someone like that for all the junk to go into.
: As to the 500 mails you received, bin the lot.
: : BTW, the only one I really read was the only one that had in the subject line "thank you for your link". I think there's a message there. As a relative newbie to e-commerce, I was not attracted to one ad that tried to HYPE me with promises of riches, instant money or FREE anything!
: : Anyway, if somebody can tell me whether I should keep these emails or delete them and what to do with 'em I'd sure appreciate it.
: The downside to email is that you cannot tear it up or screw it into a ball and set fire to it but that's just about all you should be doing with that lot. There may be a valid offer in there somewhere but have you got time to read 500 mails to find it?
: Adrian
Actually the address I used is the new OSC address, but I will go in and just delete
them all. Does this mean that whatever I put
out through Links2u will also do the same to
my targeted audience i.e. end up in the trash?
