Paid Opportunties Can Kill Your Inbox: Learn How to Manage It

Signing Up to Paid Opportunity Sites Can Be a Pain

Lisa W
If you're like me you've probably signed up to a dozen or so paid on-line opportunities, such as paid email sites, or paid surveys. These sites can offer a lot to us, but can end up being a hassle for you and your web experience if you don't know how to manage them right. I've constructed a very simple and easy to follow instruction guide on how to manage and maintain a successful experience with paid on-line business opportunities.

Signing up to just one paid on-line opportunity isn't exactly going to make it's share in your pocket. If you really want to make a good amount of money off these sites it's suggested to sign up to at least 5 or more, depending on your patience and how well you can handle it. The only problem is that signing up to these sites all require an email address, and almost all of them will lead you directly to a bunch of spam that will flood your inbox.

Make a separate email dedicated to your paid on-line business opportunities. Make your email name something that relates to the purpose of your site, but never use your full name as your email address.

Good email - john_opportunities@soandso.com
johnsurveys@soandso.com

Bad email - john_doe@soandso.com

I suggest making an account with either Yahoo.com or Hotmail.com. Both are free and offer a large amount of space to store and receive emails, and also offers a pretty nice feature which allows you to sort your emails into certain folders which will come handy later on. Once you've made your new email account you can start signing up to these paid opportunity sites using the new email you've created.

Let's say you've signed up for three different on-line opportunities. We'll make up names for these opportunities and call them Email-Payout, Surveys Plus, and FreeCash2Day. It's more than likely that each site you sign up to will send you a validation email or a welcome email to their site, this would be the perfect time to start sorting out your emails. First of all create three new folders in your email that relate to the sites you've signed up to. For example, if you signed up for Email-Payout make a folder called Email-Payout. Once you've made all your folders you can now use the filter option given to you in your email account that allows you to filter emails into certain folders according to the specifications you give it. So now each time you receive emails from each individual on-line opportunity it will automatically go into it's appropriate folder making things a lot less complicating in the end.

Now all the other emails non relating to your paid opportunities won't be mingled with each other, and it will be a lot easier to scan through. Also it will be easier to now mark junk mail that you don't want in your inbox.

Tips to remember.

Always use your paid opportunity email when signing up to offers directed to you from any paid opportunity site, never use your personal email. If you haven't already it's never too late to start.

    Iinteresting article, good points. Would also like to read an article based on your experience with the sites you have listed in your bio. Such as how much time you need to put in to make so much money. Which sites are honest and up front about their requirements, and how well they pay. Any information as to whether it is an effective way to make a good second income. Hope to read more.
