I have to apologize…it’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve visited this blog and it’s simply because I’ve been working on a full-fledged site related to Work at Home Moms located at http://www.connectingwahms.com.

Stop on by if you have a moment and check it out.

In the meantime, I’ll post information here from time to time that I think you’ll find helpful, useful and cost-effective to boot.

Thanks for coming on by!

10MinuteEmail…Worth it?

Filed under: Internet Business, Marketing, email, ethics — Kristine - A WAHM @ 8:45 am

Unethical?

A new service has just launched which allows you to get an email address that only lasts 10 minutes.  See 10minutemail.com.

That’s right…10 minutes.

Essentially what this means is that when you get to those pages on a website which require you to provide an email address and a name before getting the content on the subsequent page, you can simply grab a 10minutemail.com address, sign up for the item, get it from your email, and do nothing further.  The email address will simply “self-destruct”.

I know that there are some folks out there cheering this on because they get so tired of being “required” to give out personal information before receiving either their free gift, complimentary offer, whatever you’re seeking at the time.

However, the people providing this offer to you as a subscriber have gone to some lengths to get that information to you.  The “price” that you pay is your email address.  Would you rather be charged for the product?  I guess it all depends on what your email address is worth to you.

I honestly believe that this is a very short-lived but noteworthy item.  Many websites already prevent certain email addresses from being used such as a hotmail.com or ayahoo.com address and this will simply be another one that is blocked by savvy website owners.

It’s obvious that if you choose to use an email address such as this, you are doing nothing more than stealing.  You obviously have no intention of being a trustworthy person.

A little harsh?  I don’t think so.  Since many online marketers offer a double-opt in, which essentially means that you have to confirm your email address before receiving any additional email, and you are given the opportunity to unsubscribe at any time, there is no reason at all to not use a real, working email address.

Obviously if you have visited the website they offer something of value to you so it would make sense that you would want to receive other valuable items and information as well.

If you don’t, it’s simply stealing.

What do you think?

Free Excel Spreadsheets & More…

Filed under: Search Engines, Tools — Kristine - A WAHM @ 9:10 am

Ok, ok so to say “Excel” spreadsheet is a little misleading…but let’s face it, most people associate spreadsheet programs with Microsoft Excel.  This was the only way I could think of to tell you about a free on-line spreadsheet program from who else but…

…Google.

As always Google outdoes itself by offering us helpful programs at absolutely no cost.  But what’s so great about this particular program is that it’s on-line.  You don’t have to download it to your personal computer – you can use it right there online and not have to worry about (*knocking on wood*) your computer crashing.

The Pluses and Minuses:

  •  Because it’s on-line, you can share it with others and collaborate on-line;
  • You don’t have to download the program to your computer;
  • You can import .xls files;
  • Some formatting from Excel does not import;
  • You can’t do charts and databases like you can in Excel;
  • If you typically use your current spreadsheet program for some basic tasks, then Google spreadsheets will work well for you.  However…
  • …if you use your current spreadsheet program for serious number crunching, graphics or charts.

So, if you’d like to take a look at the program, head on over to spreadsheets.google.com and sign up :-)

If you use it, drop me a line and let me know.  I’m curious to see if it fits your needs or if you have any issues with it at all.

Until next time,

Kristine
