Well it seems I am because I just checked my aweber stats and I was above the .1 % complaint rate they suggest you should stay under.
I understand the message wasn’t selling anything, nor did it have any instant money making tip. It was only my thoughts on Internet Marketing and how the “It’s easy” idea isn’t totally true.
But anyways those warnings are there for a good reason so I invited my non interested subscribers to unsubscribe.
We’ll see what happens.
Probably I’ve been too quiet lately so an email from me can be strange for some people, but that’s going to change. I’m flying solo this year so I plan on being in contact with my list more often.
A nice idea I think I might swipe from Stephanie Mulac is how they add the “subscription date” to the intro of all her emails

Something really easy to do with Aweber and also it reminds ppl when they subscribed.
There are a lot of email best practices we all should follow and really I don’t know them all. The guy to ask about that is Big Jason Henderson, he’s the email expert out there so if you want more information about email deliverability and etiquete you should check out his blog BigMarketingOnline.com
Please leave your comments good or bad and I’ll be glad to get back to you with any question you have that I can answer. Remember: if I don’t know the answer… I’ll make something up specially for you.
Cheers!
Richard
I’ve been working a lot on other peoples projects lately rather than on my own and let me tell you, even though it’s been hard work I’ve loved every minute of it.
See, the idea that Internet Marketing is a piece of cake is a misconception. I was speaking with a friend the other day and we were discussing how cool Internet Marketing was because:
You can choose where you’ll work: I for example live and work in El Salvador, Harris is moving to Costa Rica for a Month, and I have other IM friends all over the world. For some this means you can work at home or at a Starbucks, or wherever there is an internet connection
You can choose what you’ll wear each day. Hey a lot of people like to dress up, personally I wear shorts, crocks and a Hawaiian shirt most of the time. I’ve only worn a tie twice since I quit my job J
You can choose the 20 hours of the day you’ll work!!! – And we all started to laugh – Well maybe not 20 a day, but I must say I have done that pretty often during product launches.
Actually one of them mentioned something about “the 4 hour work week” and how it should be called “the 4 hour sleep week” when you are running a product launch.
My point is, it’s not easy, you have to work hard to achieve your goals, the good part is that you aren’t working your ass off for someone else. It’s for YOU and YOUR Family!!! Nothing can beat that!
Please don’t get me wrong. YES there are many ways to make money online and they are much easier than a J.O.B. but if you really want to become successful you have to work hard and stay focused till you make it. As Mike Dillard says: “The most successful people take ‘OBSESSIVE ACTION’ to achieve the goals that they have set”.
So make up your mind today what you want to achieve and TAKE ACTION!
