Net Chatting Society of Anyone Choosing to Care

This is a guest post by Owen Walcher of Gmail Tips

One of your biggest bugbears as an internet marketer is having an unorganized email set up. You know, organizing your affiliate marketing emails, your downloads, your log in information, your domain and hosting correspondence, promotions, personal and family and the list goes on.

What happens to most of us is what is known as email sprawl. Your inbox suddenly starts to looks like peak hour traffic in New York City. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of emails sitting in your inbox without a home.

That is, they are all sitting in your inbox - business emails thrown in with personal emails and in the end, you just don’t have the time to check or categorize them all so you do a mass delete out of frustration.

Then later on, you go looking for a particular email and it’s not there. You deleted it which means having to track down the person who sent it and tell them your wife accidentally deleted it.

Sound familiar?

Well today, I want to show you something so effective and simple from Gmail that will literally solve this problem. It’s called labeling your emails within your Gmail account but better still, you can assign an email to several categories rather than just one.

In other words, with a normal email account, if you move an email from your inbox it can only be moved to one folder. But what if that email came under a number of categories?

For example, an email with a link to an article on affiliate marketing you want to keep could also come under the marketing, promotions and article material banner. But a restricted email service will only allow you to move it to one folder.

Gmail however, allows you to apply labels to that email and in actual fact, you can move it to as many folders as you want simply by applying some settings within your account. You are no longer restricted to just one option. Check out this video that shows you exactly how to do this.

And because Google offers almost 7 gigabytes of storage space with each Gmail account you have, there is virtually no need to delete them anymore if you don’t want to.

That’s one of the big advantages of a Gmail account and the above process is just the “tip of the iceberg” with what you can achieve by using one.
