If you are like me, you really don’t have time for emails that clutter up your inbox.

You just scroll to the bottom of the email where it will either indicate manage subscriptions or plainly say unsubscribe.
Click on the link and you will be re-directed to another page.
This is where sometimes tricky some options are posed.
Some will say sorry, if you’ve made a mistake you can click here to re-subscribe. Others tempt you with offers to another even more interesting list – just say no!
Whilst other clever marketers will say sorry to see you go, you will miss out on all the wonderful offers I have for you, you have the last chance to re-subscribe just in case you made a mistake.
Other options ask you to choose which lists you wish to unsubscribe from.
