Do You Have Email Stress?

If you are feeling overloaded with email, check out these statistics:

A new study in the UK shows that more than a third of workers are suffering from "email stress" as they are swamped with messages. Researchers from Glasgow and Paisley universities found that workers are struggling to cope with a deluge of emails, and it's leaving staff tired, frustrated and unproductive.

• 34 per cent said they checked their inbox every 15 minutes
• 64 per cent said they looked more than once an hour

But monitoring software revealed that they looked more often, with some workers viewing their emails up to 40 times an hour.

Have You *Googled* Yourself?

The other day, while I was on the phone with Lynne Berrett, she *googled* her name . . . that is, she typed her name into the Google search box.

What a surprise when her Easy Coaching Website came up #1. And because she and some of the other folks in my Website Workgroup were linking to each other on their blogs, Shaun Kieran's site came up too.

Why is that surprising?

Lynne has 2 other blogs that have been up longer, but it was her Easy Coaching Website that came up first. Awesome!

So it's fun and easy to do -- Google your name and/or the name of your website and see if you are showing up in the search engines.

If you like what you see, great!

If not, see what you can do to get better results.

Your goal is to be on the first page -- that's how the game is played.

Want to know where I get my tips, techniques and inspiration?

Here's a site that I use constantly: Join the Web's #1 Subscriber Site

There is so much information in this site, I really can hardly keep up. But that's a good thing! And with information changing quickly, it's nice to have someone else keeping up for me. YOU need to be constantly learning, and this site provides a virtual menu to choose from. VERY informative webinars -- where everything is explained step-by-step.

Want to learn about ebooks, mini-sites, listbuilding, copywriting, or getting traffic to your site? This site has it all. It's the most content-rich subscriber site available. And it keeps me up to date. Highly recommended.

Are You Moodling?

Many people have asked me what I use to manage my Profit From Your Website and Profit From Your Newsletter classes online. That software is called Moodle. It's free software that can be installed on your website, or on it's own website, as I have done with the EFT lab.

Moodle allows me to create an online resource guide for each class and manage all the course material, and audio recordings in 1 place. It makes my life easier, and the class participants LOVE having all the resources that I have created and archived for them.
