Weekly Tech Tip: Clear up your Inbox

Welcome to 2014! 


Start the year off on the right foot by clearing your inbox of emails you don't read, BEFORE they arrive, by making use of the Unsubscribe option!

Emails you should unsubscribe from:
  • Emails that you receive on a regular basis and NEVER read
  • Vendors or services that you don't use (did you attend a conference or convention in the last year or two
  • Anything that you don't remember signing up or opting in for

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:

Option 1: 
If you use Gmail or Yahoo, check out UnRoll.Me (Chris Smith  from InmanNext wrote a great article on it). This service will scan your inbox and create a list of your subscriptions. You can then unsubscribe en masse. My favorite part is the RollUp feature, which automatically moves all of my subscriptions to a Label/Folder and out of my inbox, as well as sends me a daily digest of what I've received. This way, I don't necessarily have to unsubscribe, but it keeps my inbox clean.

Option 2:
Whatever email service you use (Gmail, Outlook, etc.), you can manually unsubscribe from emails as they come in. Simply find and click on the Unsubscribe link (this is usually at the bottom). Depending on the service, you may need to click a few more times to confirm.
