Video #1: Stop Spam in Your Inbox

Though this video isn't about directly about email marketing, it will help you get a handle on the flood of spam you likely receive every day (I was up to more than 300 piece of spam per day).

Since spam is a problem for everyone, I produced a 9-minute video showing how to block spam using Spam Assassin and BoxTrapper, two tools included with most cPanel webhosting accounts.

I can't imagine running my websites without cPanel (yes, I did run them without it, but no more). And if you need a webhosting account that offers cPanel, I have had great success with HostGator. Their servers are fast and support has been excellent. I have a reseller account, which allows me to set up individual cPanels for my domains.

And if your email accounts aren't hosted by your web host, you can still use this technique by forwarding your email to an email account you create in cPanel. Set up BoxTrapper and Spam Assassin according to the instructions in the video and use your cPanel email account to deliver your email.

In an upcoming video, I'll reveal a very important but little-known option you'll want to add to your webhosting that costs about $2 per month, but will improve your email delivery.
