As a business owner, there is absolutely nothing that says “you are on the wrong side” like using an autoresponder for e-newsletter marketing. There are a few different things you can do to get it set up properly so you can deliver messages to your mailing list, but they’re all pretty obvious.

In my opinion, the real challenge for an autoresponder is the number of people who get disabled by the word “autoresponder”. Now, why would you want an autoresponder, I mean come on, isn’t that meant to be a feature of your website? Now there are people who have autoresponders set up for sending e-mails, but in most cases when people use the term, they think, “I’m going to spam you.”

But it’s not spam if you give them permission. In this case, people thought so because it was a double-choice procedure. The autoresponder simply asked them if they wanted to hear from you. The problem is that it’s not a long-term solution for your business as it won’t get you any long-term sales as people will forget who you are, they’ll just get frustrated and unsubscribe. And when you unsubscribe, you literally can’t help it.

So what are you doing now? But you can have an autoresponder so your customers can come in and consent to your autoresponder and send you messages as if you were still a subscriber. But when it does, your subscriber list will explode. The point is, they’ll do it because they’re just signing up and want to be on your list. So just don’t fall for it and be careful who you trust in your marketing.

I assume you are using a WordPress blog, but the concept is the same for every blog. You can get an autoresponder that will automatically appear on your blog. Now of course, if one of your readers clicks on this and goes to your Facebook fanpage, it won’t be on your autoresponder list anymore. So be careful not to spam when using autoresponders.

The best way to set up auto-reply lists is to have a simple website, so when someone comes to your website if they subscribe and sign up, a single website will send that person an automated sequence of emails. Now there are many ways to implement this. And I like the one that’s pretty good.

Basically what it does is send four emails and then wait for them to click on one of the four things. If you’re a good friend, they don’t click on emails, then you get your Facebook friends, then they click on one of your articles (you can write and submit articles to article directories) and then maybe subscribe to your mailing list. If they then get into my space and register something, they will be sent straight to the newsletters. And if they like an article I wrote, they will unsubscribe and then I will stop sending them emails.

The best thing I found is that if someone subscribes to my mailing list but doesn’t download some of the articles I wrote right away then I won’t send them any newsletters. The reason is that if they don’t like my stuff, they will either unsubscribe or click the “Don’t send me anything” link. And if I email them afterward, they won’t know they like my stuff, which is fine because I won’t send them at all. But if they just subscribe but they like my stuff and don’t download some of my articles right away, they’ll download some of my stuff, they like it, and then unsubscribe from my mail list. This has happened to me twice so this is by far the best way to set it up. And it is very similar, it may seem a little weird at first, but you get used to it quickly.

And that’s really handy if you’re selling a product. Suppose you have a product. And you have a website that talks about the product. And I’m giving away this free report. And everyone who gets a free newspaper but doesn’t buy the product will automatically unsubscribe from your list. But they will subscribe to your newsletter forever so they can get your product every time you add it.

So you can do it. This will save you email addresses.

This is Earth Day. I see bikes everywhere and people making every effort to be consciously green. As I was thinking about areas where I could be greener or enrich my knowledge of recycling, I realized that as a retirement coach I could change my approach to recycling: PEOPLE.

People – their interests, talents, skills and experience – can be used, reused and recycled just like a wood product. Can you recycle yourself? If you are over 50, I am 100% positive, the answer is YES.

Reduce wasted talent

Bob is a 62-year-old retired aviation engineer. He left Raytheon two years ago and now meets his golf and poker buddies regularly. He is healthy and runs for a mile every morning. Bob has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering.

Cheryl is a retired teacher. She is healthy and loves to travel. She used to teach geography and occasionally pride herself on teachers of French and Spanish because she is almost fluent in both languages ??and loves languages. Now, taking advantage of her teacher’s retirement age, Cheryl travels overseas at least three times each year, visiting places she has read about and taught but never saw.

Reuse of skills and experience

Schools and tutoring centers across the country desperately need teachers and tutors to help children of all math levels. Bob could use his math and science skills by becoming involved in schools and extra-curricular programs in his area. If he could devote just one afternoon a week, it would make a difference to his community. One student who, through Bob, finds the key to understanding fractions or defeating algebraic equations could be a future aerospace engineer.

Thousands of refugees come to the USA every year without even having to speak English well enough. Cheryl could reuse her language skills by teaching adults ESL in evening school programs. She could also show trips to places she got to know better after her retirement. Both require exceptional talents and experience that Cheryl has accumulated throughout her life.

Prepare to recycle your skills

Here’s what you can do to prepare for recycling yourself:

1. Make a list of your skills, talents, experiences – all the skills you have developed and honed throughout your life

2. Ask three people who know you what else you can add to your list (we often omit or reject skills that others value in us)

3. Select the things you really like on your list

4. Cross out those things that you did no enjoy

5. Look at a well-received list and name as many uses of these talents as possible. Think about:

· WHO can find them valuable?

· Where can you use them

· How can you use them

· When can you use them

Now it’s up to you to decide how much of the available time you want to spend on this endeavor. If you are still earning a living it will likely be limited, and if you have retired from a middle-aged career you may have more hours off.

Everyone knows something that can be reused and recycled. The older you get, the more you know. For me, it is the epitome of waste, when these talents are dormant, when there are so many in the world. So go green … recycle!

The recent move by the Canadian government to ban polycarbonate plastic baby bottles has raised many concerns about the use of plastic in food and drink. Some issues related to the recycling of plastics were also highlighted.

There are seven categories of plastic and they are identified by the number in the recycling symbol. The numbers range from # 1 to 7. They all have a different chemical composition that ultimately determines their use.

The reflector is on plastic No. 7, next to it there is a PC (polycarbonate) marking. In some cases, you’ll only see “PC”. # 7 plastic represents a blend of all other types of plastic. The PC additive creates a lightweight, high-performance plastic that has a unique balance between strength, dimensional stability, optical clarity and high heat resistance. That’s why we see it in so many applications, including food containers and utensils.

The scary thing about the computer container is the addition of bisphenol A (BPA), which is a key building block of polycarbonate plastic. In a food or beverage delivery container, tests have shown migration of BPA into the food from the container. The big controversy, of course, is how much BPA gets into food and how much do we need to consume before our hormones are disrupted?

We will not answer here. But let’s see how it affects plastic recycling.

Basically there is no change to current plastic container recycling practices. Curbside gathering and every warehouse will continue to pick up # 7PC plastics no questions asked. The mixed plastics will be shredded and processed into new plastics # 7, some of which may be marked PC if production adds a lot of polycarbonate to mix # 7.

For reference only, plastics to avoid for eating and drinking activities are # 3, # 6, and # 7. The safer plastics to use are # 1, # 2, # 4 and # 5. However, there are concerns about reusing plastic containers and heating food-containing plastics.

After the summer months, three big celebrations take place before the end of the year. Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December. Costumes can be worn at all three events for private parties, public functions, school and church activities, theater, and other social functions.

If you’re a very busy person, you may want to recycle last year’s costume to get a new look and save time. It is not difficult. Here are some suggestions to help you think about redesigning your costume.

Changing the fabric of a costume can be as simple as dyeing it a different color, changing a blouse, shirt, skirt or pants, adding or removing material accessories such as scarves and ribbons, wearing some garments for larger garments by stuffing cotton filler or creating tears or clothing tears.

Change or replace accessories:

1. Wear a wig or hairpieces and other stubble
2. Use a different mask or apply makeup to your face
3. Wear a large rubber nose or ears
4. Wear unusual glasses
5. Change the gender of the clothing
6. Change shoes or walk on stilts or wear roller skates.

After making these new changes, another character will appear.

If you want to make a different costume rather than recycle, here is a list of steps to start the process of creating a new costume.

1. Choose a character
2. Choose a mask, face makeup, or an alternative method of covering your head and face
3. Browse through the contents of your wardrobe and desk drawer
4. Wear hairpieces, stubble, ornaments, scarves or hats
5. Footwear
6. Necessary accessories

If there are any clothes, props or accessories that cannot be constructed with your skills, rent or purchase this item.

The most important first step is to choose your character. Draw and write your description on a piece of paper. Let errors occur here, not after you start creating the costume.

Make a list of materials needed for sewing, assembly and construction.

Designing and assembling a costume should be as fun as attending a Halloween party. Time management is important to avoid unnecessary stress.

It is in the details. Another design element is the refinement of accessories. The character’s appearance is complemented by a specific hairstyle or prop. The witch wears a pointy hat and rides a broomstick, the clown has a red nose, the wizard wears a magic wand, and the angel has wings.

Depending on personality, it is beneficial to make sure an identifying prop is available. This can sometimes be a problem. I made this mistake once and won’t do it again!

1. Find out how the costume will be used:
2. Is it a private event or a public event?
3. Should it take place indoors or outdoors?
4. Are you taking part in the parade?
5. Is there a costume contest? What are the categories?

These questions will help determine whether the garment should be worn underneath or over the suit to keep it cool or warm, or withstand clothes and props to stay together in the weather and keep you comfortable for hours.
