#055: When Spam Happens to Good People

We're busy people, right? We don't have the time to be bothered by unwanted messages. Being bothered and annoyed is one thing, but being manipulated, deceived or even cheated is so much worse. Most people I know, myself included, hate spam and don't want to be associated with being a person who dishes it out. In today's podcast, I share some of the spammy things that have happened to me. Little acts of spammy annoyances or just plain maliciousness sure does make it harder for you and me, who are just trying to connect with folks, to grow our businesses. The idea of bothering people or afraid of being associated as a spammer slows most small business owners down in building and marketing their services. The fear of being lumped into a category of being a spammer shouldn't stop you from marketing your business. What's important is that you implement good, honest practices to truly attract and connect with those who you serve. In this episode, I talk about the obstacles encountered with spam being received on the phone, in your email, and on your website or social account. Spam happens to good people. It just does. Don't let it stop you from doing the good work that you do. You will grow your audience when you implement good practices and deliver value on a consistent basis. I hope you enjoy this episode.
