Whitelist Us BEFORE Subscribing
Welcome to D.S.W.M., where Direct Sales meets Online Marketing. We cover it all, as elementary as possible because we know you’re new. Got a wish list? Skribit! Like what you see? We offer Full Feed updates.
We want to make sure you don’t miss out on a single issue of “Your Direct Sales Web Success” or anything else for that matter.
We know that unwanted email is a big problem these days, and many email providers have added filters and blocking mechanisms in place.
Unfortunately, some filters detect legitimate mail as spam, too, making it increasingly difficult for the good guys to get their messages through to their subscribers and customers.
While different email providers have different filters, the one important thing to do is add: admin@dennisedell.com to your address book.

Side Note: Please keep this in mind. I thought very hard about banning and forbidding free email subscriptions completely. The reason for this is two-fold….
1. They are truly a pain in the butt as far as deliverability rates and false spam complaints that I really don’t want to deal with.
2. More importantly, and I’ll be brutally honest here, I prefer to only deal with people that are SERIOUS about their online marketing. Whether you’re brand new or “old-hat” makes no difference, as long as your serious about your operations. Point being, if you’re truly serious about your business, you’re NOT using a free email service; it’s as simple as that. It’s unprofessional and shows immediately to those you attempt to do business with.
However, I do realize that most of you are here as total beginners and may not realize such things or some of you may not even have a website yet. That’s OK, that’s why I’m here 
. Feel free to sign up with whatever address you have, but be sure to whitelist our address first.
Since you really do need to have your own domain, I’m more then happy to help you right from the start, so…..
My highest recommendation for a domain registrar is Godaddy.com (If you’re not quite ready for hosting, you can get just a domain name with email.)
My highest recommendation for a Web Host is Hostgator.com
My highest recommendation for a Website building software program is Xsitepro
