This month topics:

1. How to check your emails for Spam before sending them?
Don't Let Your E-mail Newsletter End Up...In Your Customers' Junk Folder!
Well we all write and receive hundreds of emails each week or even each day.
A lot of my clients actually write a newsletter on a regular basis and sometimes their customers do not receive them.
Did you ever have the impression that some of your newsletters or email just didn't reach the addressee because it was classified as Spam?
There is a simple and free solution available.
Please check out the website at http://spamcheck.sitesell.com/. You can either type in the text on this page directly or you send your newsletter first to this address and watch for the Spam-Score you are getting.
Send your newsletter to spamcheck@sitesell.net, but you must make sure to start the subject line with the word TEST.
Within seconds you'll receive a score for your email and recommendations how to reduce the score - amazing!
And if you want to better organise your inbox - use the over 64 tips from MasterYourInbox.com

2. Boost your creativity by using Mindmaps
Our left brain is responsible predominantly for our Logic, Language, Sequential order, Problem solving, Numerical and Intellectual knowledge.
On the other side our right brain works with Emotions, Creativity, Artistic, Spatial order, Colours and Daydreaming.
A mind map is the ideal tool to tap into both sides of the brain at the same time. You will come up with new ideas and insights. And it’s a very fast process.
Back in April we wrote about mind maps already and gave our preferences for using a software tool.
The beauty of using a software program is to capture your mind map and to have immediately a printable outcome at your fingertips.
Recently I came across a fantastic ebook on this matter including a comparison of different software packages. Check out the Mind mapping ebook and the comparison - it's absolutely worth it.

3. Shortcuts of the month
Do you want to learn more and increase your productivity by up to 30%?
For this month we want to concentrate on keyboard shortcuts
to copy the format of a text or paragraph quick and effortless in Microsoft® Word.
|
Shift + Ctrl + C |
Copies the format of the selected text (incl. colour, font, size, style etc.) |
|
Shift + Ctrl + V |
Pastes (Applies) all(!) the formatting to the selected text.
You can repeat this as long as you want for the whole text, until you’ve chosen a new “Copy Format”
|
|
|
Interestingly enough Crtl+Shift+C is completely separated from Ctrl+C. That means whatever you copy by using Ctrl+C does not affect the format you will insert with the next Ctrl+Shift+V.
|
Please try these out – we know how powerful these simple tricks are, because they can save you valuable time – each day. Have fun with it – it’s easy!
You might as well print these shortcuts and keep them close to your keyboard to learn one shortcut at a time. It is worth the effort.
