The noise from my Google Mail account has got so loud again that I’ve had to switch everything off and unsubscribe from all the lists.  I purge my mail for subscriptions every few months, but without realizing it, you begin to slowly let them back into your life until the chatter becomes too much that you have to switch it off…..well not all.

I couldn’t bring myself to unsubscribe from Rob Benwell of ‘Blogging to the Bank‘ Fame.  His mails are so lazy (can’t even be bothered to make the copy unique to the other JV partners) and cringeworthy, that they’re actually good entertainment.  I made the mistake of buying his ‘Blogging to the Bank 3′ which was accompanied by his ‘watching him over his shoulder while he creates a successful blog’, video series.

Based on the quality of the ebook, I quickly canceled my monthly payment but I’ve noticed the link I was given is still active for the videos and it would be rude not to watch.  Each video lasts about 4mins max, and is delivered in his dull, English, northern accent (Manchester? - dunno).  Choice advice includes spending about $1,500 on a custom, WordPress template and then waiting for about 3 weeks while it gets completed - how to take the wind out of your sales before you’ve even begun!

I know Blogging to the Bank (1) was a deserved success, but you kind of get the feeling he’s been dining out on that one ever since.
