About a year ago, my small business was getting about 100 to 150 spam messages in each of our email accounts every day. These days, we’re getting about 1 to 2 spam messages on a bad day. Most days, it’s none at all.
I won’t go into how spam slows down your email server, kills your productivity, or is plain old offensive. We’ve all become too familiar with seeing flashes of “LegalRX Free Meds” and “ViA*gRa”, “Cheap Rolex and Cartier”, and the ilk! Instead, I would like share with you some tricks I used to stop spam almost completely.
Fighting spam is serious business. It’s something you and your business can’t afford to ignore. While there are many anti-spam services you can purchase, I found it is quite possible to stop spam rather effectively by combining several quick, easy anti-spamming methods that don’t cost anything at all but a few minutes of your time.
In a series of Five Tips on How to Stop Spam Effectively here, we’re going to build an arsenal and bulwark that will stop spam from infiltrating your business.
The Tips:
Tip 1: Stop Spam by Routing Your Email Through an Anonymous Gmail Account

Business is usually business management like managing a hotel, a building, a transportation company etc. Finance is more like helping big companies invest and manage their money and help rich people manage their money, more or less making big decisions. In finance you can help people invest and make more money(like a broker or financial adviser)

Many people dislike to wash the dishes, and I particularly like washing the dishes. On one hand, see a bunch of oily dirty
dishes were gradually washed very rewarding, on the other hand, the side of the bowl to wash hands while brains have all
kinds of daydream, like daydreaming.
