Emails Made Simple Book

These days, almost everyone relies on email, whether for work, to receive important updates and alerts, to shop online, to pay bills, or simply to keep in touch with friends and loved ones. If you're like me, you check email daily.

But how did you learn to use email? Did you ever take a class? Or sit down with someone who showed you step by step how to use it safely and efficiently?

Chances are, no. Instead, you were given an email address and... well, that's it. 

Email is intuitive enough that you can certainly read and reply to emails. But beyond that, what do you really know?

• Do you know how to block senders, add others to your "white list", and add people to your contacts?
• Safely purge your overflowing inbox, and keep it under control?
• Set up a distribution list to make sending emails to everyone in a group easy?
• How to handle phishing emails? (Or even exactly what one is and how to spot it?)
• How tabs and filters can help you save tons of time by automatically deleting or filing emails according to rules YOU set up? (No coding required!)

The truth is, you're probably only making use of a fraction of Gmail's capabilities. There is so much more you could do - if someone would just show you how.

That's why I created Emails Made Simple. In this concise guide, I walk you step-by-step through everything you need to know to use email safely and confidently. I don’t assume you have any prior knowledge beyond being able to log in.

Because some folks prefer learning at their own pace, with a guide they can hold in their hands and revisit anytime, Emails Made Simple is available as a book (both as an Amazon Kindle ebook and as a downloadable PDF).

But because some folks are visual learners, Emails Made Simple is also available as a self-paced online course. In it, topics are presented on slides, with me narrating and emphasizing key points. Over-the-shoulder video clips are inserted as needed to demonstrate what is being discussed. There are also supplemental videos and a printable PDF workbook to guide you through applying what you learn.

While I've tried to cover everything that the average lay person would need to know, I've also tried in both the book and course to be clear, concise, and easy to implement. After all, what good is a guide that you can't follow?
