One of the most frustrating things to encounter is to send a highly valuable email to someone, only to discover that they never saw it.
Equally frustrating is to sign up for a blog or email list, and then never see the emails you signed up to receive.
If you use Gmail, you’re never seeing some of your most important emails.
Most Gmail users aren’t aware that Gmail has created something called a PROMOTIONS tab.
And genuine emails that you signed up for often go into that tab. So unless you check it regularly, you’ll never see those emails.
Here’s what the tab looks like:
Here’s the solution:
(1) From time to time, check your Promotions inbox. If you see my email there, drag the email into your Primary tab inbox (to the far left).
(2) Click “Yes” in the yellow box to have all my emails moved automatically to your Primary inbox.
For instance, my blog posts and my UNFILTERED updates come from Frank@FrankViola.com.
So add those two emails to your address book/contact list.
Note: Last month I freely gave away several of my books for a limited time, but some of my subscribers never got those email annoucnements because they were using Gmail and the emails wrongly went into the PROMOTIONS tab or their Spam folders (if they were using another email service).
Again, please share this post using the share buttons below. Hopefully we can inform many who use Gmail and aren’t receiving important emails.
