Day 14-10 Tips for Email-"How to Manage Your Flock"
Hello, again...she said, in despair,having started this, now the 4th time!...touched delete by mistake...Tonight, I'm offering some tips, on Managing your WA emails, responses, etc...And how the prioritize!
Thought it was pretty neat at first, just using the notification, icon top of my page, but soon, realized, it was always, changing! ...Overwhelming!! TMI!
When, I woke one day and found 5 pages, of emails, I knew, at had to Prioritize!! So, here are some tips, I found, that really, became mu best means, of keeping up with it all!!
1. Since, I post, at night, late, I take care of anything on last night"s blog...Is it a hit or a dud!
2.. I check private messages, new profile, comments, where newest, are close to the top. if, there is a follow...get that later.
3. Next, I pull, up my gmail...I search for WA, and have just have this list to conquer.
4. I than , start at the bottom, at work way up!...Taking, on a "first come first serve, basis.
5. As I work my way up, see many new posts, for tech and website, and things, I will need, later, but now...I have to put them on the back burner. Keeping focused, is essential!I I do not need more things to think, about...at this stage of the game! Skip or "star"!...move on! starring really best as then, when I needed one of them...I can n simply pull up all starred, and viola!
6. Follows, as well, I skip for, now!...needing time to welcome and start creating, a relationship! "Thanks, for the follow", doesn't do that, and a newbie, needs to know, we are real people, with real lives, here, not just a bunch of numbers! While, we're touching on Newcomers or new Veterans...Let's talk about Handles!! My handle is ... brichnow21... How many of you out there, think well, "That's positive handle?" Cool! Well, yes, it is, "be rich now!"...aren't, I clever?? No!! my, last name, is Richnow!!...getting the picture??? Redundant, or not...I sign, Barb! Maybe, B..if it"s ongoing, with several responses. Another, little thing that I do, is when I'm responding, as these are considered, discussions...I will read a couple of others, comments, and if I don't know this, person, liked, what, they,said, I will just 'Like and Follow"! not, a time to go prospecting...save that for a couple of newbies, their smiling faces, are right there, for me to just pick one or 2!
7. Now, is the time, to go back to the bottom, and pick up my new members, and Welcome, and, start, that relationship! Newbies, don't know, what they don't ,know! We were, all, there, once, which is, why we all, return the favor! When, I click, on a I newbie, and their profile, says, "I'm here,to make money, on the internet!" Really?? I, having, already searched for their name, from often, their Welcome letter, as Kyle, usually uses their, never a handle, unless name is handle! I welcome, politely, suggest, stopping on my profile, and read my blog...some may not know where it would be, on the page!..to Day 10...WA profile, and I check, back, later. if, they've done, that, then, bing...another notification, on email!
8. Now, that the heavy lifting is done...first, batch of emails, in the morning...Now, I have time to play! We're to work, as well as, enjoy ourselves...If, not, fun for, me...JOB! Time to read some blogs, catch-in, and visit...relax with the gang!
9. I recently, notice, as I entered, the Top 100, that I'll get occasional, requests, for help that members, haven't gotten, too, or they have no answer, as yet. 5-6 question to click, mostly siteor tech questions, but the other, night, I found one,I could do! Guy, just, wanted someone to just look at his site, he was setting up, for Black Friday...men's shoes. It was terrific!! "If, I looking, for shoes, for my boys, this would be a great place! Done! 2 minutes!
!0. Last, but least, be a little flexible, without loses focus! I know where I'll find humor, so...Stop and smell the roses!! And enjoy your journey!
Whew!!! I made,it!
Have and happy, Thanksgiving, with family or friends! Football and Thanksgiving, the all American Day!!...and the much needed nap!!
Thank you and God, bless!

emails can bury you and cost you half of your day. I do something similar to your suggestions here. Works well and I don't lose as much time.
Thank you for the post
Yes, James!
We're, not, not just to visit!...however,
I won't have stayed, if it wasn't Y'all!

This is helpful. We get so many email notices. But they are helpful as they go right to the related spot. That's a keen bit of programming on WA's part. I just registered for the new live training. It sounds very exciting.
Debra, I'm starting be selective! Wink!
Lookie-loos! Hang out at someone's water cooler, Please!

Helpful advice. Thank you. Currently, I am managing all emails on time. Let me see what will happen next month or two.
Enjoyed this but I have to admit it doesn’t give me much to look forward to (as a newbie and already overwhelmed with so many emails).
Gwen, My point exactly!
I meant to say, as well...but each time I started over it got shorter!!!
I have a time...limit...I"ll stop by 12, or something but beauty of starting from the bottom, you"re still dealing first come- first serve!
People here have other jobs, so when they get in line...I need to honor. It's process...
Thank you! Iappreciate, your keeping tabs!
Little, by slowly!...I'm trudging, too, but happy about any progress, I make!
