The term 'spam' is often thrown around, but rarely do we stop to consider its true meaning. This article aims to shed light on the concept of spam and how it can be leveraged to save money. Spam, often seen as a nuisance, can be a valuable tool for entrepreneurs when used correctly. Let's delve deeper into the world of spam, keeping in mind the old adage, "there is a sucker born every minute".
Spam refers to the unsolicited emails that flood our inboxes daily, typically from get-rich-quick schemes or adult content sites. If you receive information you didn't explicitly request, you've likely been spammed. If you choose to engage with these emails, you might be the 'sucker' referred to in the aforementioned saying.
The question arises, why not simply stop spam? The answer lies in the hidden value of spam, which could potentially save you thousands of dollars.
Consider spam as a news service. On average, I receive about 20 spam messages a day, which I view as a free news service alerting me to businesses to avoid. When you receive a spam message, mentally label it as "Another business that is a scam or is going bankrupt". This mindset can help you avoid falling prey to fraudulent businesses.
Many online businesses are struggling financially, with tens of thousands on the brink of bankruptcy. If you receive a message from a company selling a seemingly legitimate product, they might be trying to stay afloat. Purchasing their products could result in your money being used to pay their debts or being pocketed without you receiving anything in return.
Most people would willingly pay for a service that alerts them to business scams and failing companies. However, spam provides this service for free.
During a recent interaction with a core database programmer from Microsoft, I asked how the tech giant deals with spam. Surprisingly, he revealed that he receives about a hundred spams a day on average and that there is no foolproof way to block it due to its rampant nature. If a tech behemoth like Microsoft can't stop spam, it's clear that spam is here to stay. So, why not use it to our advantage and save some hard-earned money?
Here's an example of a typical spam message:
