Email Address


I suggested this long ago, but we have so many new readers, I wanted to be sure this tip was passed along.

Want to avoid gobs of spam in your inbox?  You're bound to get the spam, the soliciation, the ads, when you're signing up for free offers.

So, years ago, I created a pseudo email addy.  It's a yahoo email address that I use for just those reasons.

I highly suggest it...

Just go to yahoo, ymail, gmail, etc., & create one.  Write down all your info -- it's easy to forget when it's not an account you check on a regular basis.
Then, when you're registering to be a user on a site; or when you're signing up for an offer, use that alternative email.
I check mine about 2x each week.  And usually have hundreds to go through.

BUT,
there's no spam in my regular inbox!
