Comments on: 6 Ways to Manage Over 100 Emails in 1 Day – How Would You Do It? http://www.winningtheweb.com/ways-manage-email.php Make Money Online w/ Internet Marketing Strategies Mon, 24 Jan 2011 19:51:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Heindel http://www.winningtheweb.com/ways-manage-email.php/comment-page-1/#comment-8311 Michael Heindel Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:20:54 +0000 http://www.winningtheweb.com/ways-manage-email.php#comment-8311 When I got to 800 a day I knew something had to be done. That is when I created my own helpdesk system. It is a simple form and after the person fills out the form they get a special link to check in 48 hours for my reply. Then I put an autoreply on all my email accounts that says I don't reply to email anymore, please use this form. Now all of my email goes right into the trash and I just check my database to see if anyone filled out a helpdesk form. Works great. Michael When I got to 800 a day I knew something had to be done.

I sort out the mails giving every mail a priority by my own eyes. Just look at the sender, look at the subject, and I get to know where to place that email in the priorities in my day of working. Yes, but at the end of the day, I finish reading all the email does not matter if it's almost bed time.

I definitely think that as long as you have a system in place to manage your email, then you're set. It's just matter of balancing time and community. @Alan Johnson Ah the perfectionist. It's a good thing that you only check email at a certain point in your day. Otherwise I can imagine driving yourself crazy. @The University Kid Haha, there are always going to be idiots who want to freeload. I try to be as firm as possible while offering some guidance. And even with those 5 emails, it's still good to have a system in place for the future. @bb community Seems like that's the most popular vote right now. @David Chew That's simple enough. Would you still do the same if you had 500 emails? @David Hong Yeah, 100 emails is a lot and it's all about balancing and making sure you're not expending all of your energy on it. @Marlon

Replying 100 emails?..... That's gotta take some effort. I don’t think I ever got more than 30 emails a day. Replying 100 emails?….. That’s gotta take some effort.

I only get five... ten max! :twisted: At this moment in time, I reply to each one personally... except the average idiot with emails like 'you make money. can you give me some?' or 'hello, I want to buy your site. Is $50 okay?' etc :) 100 a day :O. I only get five… ten max! :twisted:

Personally, I am personally replying to every email I receive at this point (a word of advice: only check your email after you've completed the most important tasks on your to-do list) and, once I start receiving too many and am not able to handle everything, I will be hiring someone, since again, I don't want to leave as little as one email unanswered.

Using the blog to publish replies publicly seems like the next best method for connecting - it gives the webmaster free content and shows that you care about individuals. If there are a lot of similar emails, a mass public reply will demonstrate that you have too many subscribers to reply to individually (which has to be a good thing) but that you still address the emails of everyone. As long as you have a system to deal with email. A nice provacative post - I have to stop myself rambling... It's not my blog!
