// Business Newsletters - what they mean to you
Joining email subscription lists that improve your understanding of how to excel online and help you think outside the box can be an important part of your entrepreneurial education.
Newsletters falling into this category are meant to give you a nudge - to provide you with a different perspective and encourage you to do something that will move you and your business forward.
Obviously, there are many to choose from, depending on what you want to learn. Consider these examples:
What you want is 'news you can use' that keeps you in the loop about current online trends, and offers you practical strategies for putting them to good use. At the same time, you need to be selective, both to avoid information overload and a very cluttered inbox.
You can save yourself time and get the most out of the experience by following these simple suggestions:
- Before you sign up for a newsletter, ask yourself 'Am I likely to use this information right now?' If not, pass on it, but bookmark the page for later.
- Set a limit on the number of subscriptions you get in a given month.
- Choose a specific day just for reviewing newsletters
- Give yourself a fixed amount of time to read them, so they get your full focus.
- Unsubscribe from the ones you never seem to get to – they're not grabbing your attention anyway.
