Persistence: Lessons you can learn from a spammer

I am amazed at how many times during the week I am asked if I would like a larger penis. What about a dose of viagra? How about buying some “quality” software? The truth of the matter is the more you see something the more you want it. And let’s face it who would like some quality software :D.

Spam is annoying because it’s so damn persistent

I wonder if there is a spammer code? Do you think they sit around sending these pointless emails just to annoy us?  No there’s a dollar in it. I wonder who the GENIUS is behind the business model? Bill Gates? I don’t think so. Although spam infuriates me - you have to admire the persistence of the spammer. They never give up asking or sending or intruding us with their annoying little “grow your thing bigger” emails. I wonder if the world took on the persistence of the spammer what would happen? What if we were MORE persistent in our life goals… as persistent as the spammer? What would happen?

If spammers weren’t persistent we would have no spam at all

Stop and think about this for a moment. A spammer writes something from the top of their head to get you to read it. Granted most blog spam these days is less about car insurance than it is about large wangs. But I digress. Just how many hurdles does a spammer have to overcome? Email address filters? HEAPS! They never give up. The law changes and they tilt their black hat at it. They don’t care! They persist until they flood your inbox with more and more spam. Here is the text that got through two layers of spam filtering and God knows what else to get to me this morning.

It’s not Hemmingway is it? It’s bloody jibberish is what it is. Still it got through. I am annoyed that so much filtering doesn’t stop it. I have even seen spam get through the Uni filter and offer me a high paying “job” in Italy. Unfortunately it almost always starts with: “Dear;” or “Hello Prospect”. This is unfortunate because I have never been offered a job I didn’t apply for!

I would urge you all to take a lesson from a spammer. If they weren’t persistent they we would not have medicine bigger “things” viagra  insurance lottery so much rubbish in our inbox.
