Drowning in email!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Since joining Wealthy Affiliate I have been through some great training and I have not finished yet. I have followed instruction as close as possible and done everything that has been asked. I seem to now have a website that I am very proud of aa I have spent hours learning and then creating it.

BUT, my inbox is actually heaving with emails that are considered as essential by many platforms. I have joined Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest as well as Wealthy Affiliate. Every single one of these are bombarding me with essential communications!

I have new followers in Facebook, Pinterest and Google+, I have had my pins repinned, my posts +1'ed and even Wordpress gets in on the act telling me that I have comments that need moderating. This is all on top of the mails that tell me that all of you lovely people are following me!

Please don't get me wrong, I love the fact that lots of WAers follow me and I would encourage you to do it if you already haven't. I also like new folloewers on Google+, Pinterest and everywhere else. But my point is, with a full time job, a fledgling internet business and a lovely family, when do I get time to deal with all these communications because they are all essential right?
