Today I chanced upon a crackling thread on the Warrior forum aptly titled, “Who The Heck Is Mike Derosa?”

Do you know him? Perhaps you may not know him yet…

For those of you who know him, this must’ve ringed a bell. For whom the spam tolls I would say.

Ok, now, who the heck is Mike Derosa?

Mike Derosa is an email spammer of sorts. If you have not been hit by an email from “him”, perhaps you may have been spared. Just be wary.

For the many online business entrepreneurs, marketers, mlmers, etc, not a month probably goes by without an email visit from Mike Derosa. He virtually spams the whole money making online world and I have to admit, one of my emails have been hit.

Obviously he sends out marketing messages telling us to buy this and that and in fact here’s an excerpt of the mail I received recently.

I have never bought anything from him and suggest no one else does and if you do email him back with questions, he’ll gladly reply to you in a nice manner. What a nice spammer indeed!

So what are the lessons you can learn from this elusive serial email spammer?

First, if you receive an email from an unlikely source that gibber rubbish, simply delete it and do not unsubscribe from the link given below as it will confirm that your email is real. I made that mistake a while back. However, if it’s an email from a newsletter you subscribed, then by all means go ahead to confirm the email if you just joined or unsubscribe from it if you find the information not to your liking.

Secondly, step up your email counter-spam efforts by installing helpful softwares like Mailwasher.

Lastly, Mike Derosa has shown us what relentless pursuit of profits is all about albeit he does that the wrong way. I’m sure that with his persistence, he would have achieved some sales as he moved along. Imagine if his spam list is a million and only 1% of that list buys or are duped to buy from him?

So the only great lesson we can learn here is, be wary of whom you receive your emails from, use tools that can help you keep spam away and be focused and persistent in whatever you do!

Mike Derosa, if only you go out building your credibility…
