Note#1. FFA sites operate on the basis that, if you use them, they will use you.
In other words, if you are free to e-mail thousands of people, those thousands of people are free to e-mail you.
So PREPARE TO BE SWAMPED. You WILL receive a lot of e-mails (I currently get about 500 a day).
Therefore, you MOST DEFINITELY should get yourself a ‘spare’ e-mail address.
Free e-mail addresses are easy to get. Check out the resources at www.free-e-mail-address.com or http://www.e-mailaddresses.com/
Use this ‘spare’ e-mail box to receive all the FFA return mail.
Note#2. Then what?
Then you need to empty your mailbox regularly, otherwise you will quickly exceed your limit, your mails will bounce, and your FFA accounts will be shut down.
So here’s the REAL issue…
Do you READ all these mails, or just dump them?
Well one thing is for sure; I simply don’t have time to read 500 e-mails a day. Yet, on the other hand, if I expect people to read MY e-mails, surely I have some sort of obligation to read THEIRS (even if it’s just scanning the titles to see what’s interesting).
Also, amongst all the mundane e-mails, there is often something that interests me.
And so I’ve reached a compromise…
I have noticed two patterns:
1.I notice the same PEOPLE who send the same e-mails day after day after day (ignoring the rules)
2.I notice the same moneymaking PROGRAMS that are being promoted by hundreds of different people. So what I do is to use my Mailloop program for yet another purpose. I get it to filter my FFA mailbox for me!
I now know the names of the people who mail to me day after day (despite the rules) and I know the programs and products that people are trying to sell me that I have already looked at and either rejected or bought.
I am able, therefore, to get Mailloop to delete these notes from my mailbox before I begin the process of visually checking the 10% that remain. (The regular ‘repeat’ notes all have keywords that are easily identifiable).
Sometimes, the more persistent spammers find ways of disguising their footprints, but I usually get them in the end, and I never get to read their notes… and there’s ANOTHER lesson learned about the futility of spamming.
But hang on a minute…
Sell to the spammers! They need your products, too.
Spammers usually go to some lengths to disguise their e-mail addresses. However, I have had some success by autoresponding to their mails (before autodeleting them) with an offer that they might find interesting.
If my note is returned undelivered, Mailloop destroys it. If not, there’s a chance that they might be interested in what I have to offer.
I’ve earned quite a bit of money over the years by using that trick. (Hey, you drop junk in my mailbox and I’ll drop twice as much in yours!)
