Atricle Dump - 10 E-mail Organization Tips
Have you thought about starting your own business? Have you started one and are having challenges with marketing, fear of failure, fear of success…I could go on and on. Has the question, Now what? ever entered your mind? If so, I would like to share my story with you. A journey, from corporate to business owner and everything in between.After working in the corporate field for 25 years, an opportunity presented itself to start my own business, to work out of my home. I found a fulfilling profession in personal and business coaching. I love working with others helping them to achieve a better life for themselves. Although it was my choice to develop my own business, I did not have the marketing experience and desire I needed to build that client base. The truth is, I disliked (kind word) marketing, I didn't want to sell and I knew I didn't have what it takes to achieve this part of my business…or thought I didn't hav

A big part of keeping your inbox and your e-mail organized is discipline. Yep, good ole' fashioned discipline! You need to make a consistent practice of checking your e-mail and accomplishing several tasks to keep ahead of the increased traffic of bits and bytes finding their way to your inbox.
What are we to do? Let's get organized!
1. Put your DELETE button to work! If you do not recognize the sender, look at the SUBJECT: field. Are there funny characters, alpha-numeric gibberish or it just doesn't make sense? Delete! Don't fall for tricky SUBJECT: fields that say any number of enticing comments only someone you know would say: "You left your umbrella...", "They said it's free!", "Hey how is it going?", "You blocked my IM", "Meeting is Rescheduled", or the one almost everyone wants to open "About Your Tax Refund".
None of these are from friends or folks you know or even companies you are doing business with. They are from spammers - the worst kind too - the ones who underestimate your intelligence by thinking these e-mail will be something you would take seriously. If you don’t know the sender and the SUBJECT: field looks off, send them on their way to the trash!
2. Once you go through all your new e-mail and follow step #1 above, you are now ready to determine what to do with the e-mails that are left. Do you have several e-mail from the same party? Do you have e-mail from folks who e-mail you quite regularly? Do you have some e-mail that is personal business and others that are more serious and therefore, you probably need to keep a copy on hand?

"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), British novelist and author of the Sherlock Holmes seriesThe smallest little things we do in our business can mean the difference between positive and negative buzz.On a recent trip to the mall, I stopped for a frozen yogurt snack at a TCBY stand. When I asked for a cup of tap water to accompany my yogurt, the counter person said, "I'll have to charge you 25 cents for the water." When I did a double-take, she said with a look of embarrassment, "Oh, I'm so sorry that I have to charge for water…but that’s what the owner wants."I’ve always loved TCBY frozen yogurt, but this left a bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn’t stop thinking that a paper cup of tap water must cost only a few pennies. The profit margin on a cup of frozen yogurt is surely generous, so why would a business

Charity is possibly the best way to support the downtrodden. These days there are several non-profit charitable institutions across the globe that are working in different areas with an objective to help people in need and work for their development. Helping with the rehabilitation of victims of natural disasters, child education, and women empowerment are some of the different responsibilities taken up by these organizations. These charities mainly depend on donations by the well-to-do section of society and government grants in order to function and continue with their social service.When people decide to make donations, it is mostly to non-profit charities. Non-profit charities are first and foremost in need of monetary donations, but they also usually need manpower. Donating to a non-profit charity does not necessarily have to involve spending a large amount of money. Many non-profits require more than just mone

Although this is fairly straightforward, two caveats apply. Avoid the temptation to get too fancy with the description of your business: you're designing a business card, not writing a resume. Something like "Jeffrey X, Designer of Images To Fuel The Imagination Of A Newborn Millenium" is more likely to confuse your potential contact than delight him or her, and can possibly make you look less like an effective artist and more like a flake. Something like "Jeffrey X, Artist" works perfectly well.Secondly, make sure that you not only include your contact information, but that you prioritize the information that you'll be able to make the best use of. For example, if your email account is set up to automatically process inquiries from clients or potential service providers who can be of help to your business, don't place your phone number above your email account on your business card. In fact, if you don't parti

You can have a "Mom" filter that sends all e-mail from dear old Mom right into your Mom folder. Set up filters to have e-mail from some of your hobby sites, go directly into their own folder. Your best friend can have his or her own folder. Another example is to have information from your financial institutions automatically end up in a folder specifically divided into further folders - Annuity, CDs, Stock, Bonds. The sky is the limit!
A side benefit of filters is that if you organize your e-mail to go into their own folders on download - your inbox has less e-mail that you requested or were expecting leaving only the questionable e-mail for you to review. Filters only need be setup once and they are in place until you delete them. Get your filters tightly setup and you can literally find only e-mail from spammers are left in your inbox.
One thing is clear about being online and e-mailing - it behooves you to become familiar and proficient with your tools. E-mail software being probably the most important. Check the HELP area or Web site of your e-mail software for further guidance on filters or rules. This is reading and skill building well worth the time when you realize how easily you can control your e-mail's organization moving forward.
3. Another use for your filters? As if filters are not already sounding like the best thing since sliced bread, you can use them to send certain e-mail right to the trash bypassing your inbox all together! You know, the e-mails for certain male enhancement products and adult sites - right to trash. Filters and rules can be used to not only send an e-mail to a certain folder by virtue of e-mail address, company or person's name, they can be configured to find certain adult or offensive terms when listed in the SUBJECT: or BODY of an e-mail message to you can send them right to
