False Leads and Contact Form Inquiries

Efty recently upgraded to a Zapier integration which seems to help using other apps. I am not much of a stay up all night reading the self-service manual on the other apps but the google drive use Morgan Linton highlighted sounds simple. I used to use the trafficZ download inquiries to csv feature years ago and it helped to organize and follow-up.

So thanks Efty, downloading leads to google drive.. might be helpful or sort out fake or foreign spam type contacts. Unless I need to play poker or other distractions.

But the inquiries are good for my self-esteem. So many people want to meet me, and think my content is appealing. And hey who doesn’t want 10-20 offers a day.

So I’m stuck trying to decipher real offers and spam ones. Right now Efty does a pretty good job of not overwhelming me with spam inquiries. Uniregistry also keep the “no chance” leads down to a few per day. But my Woo-commerce landers and other marketplaces like DMPPro bombard me. The total amount of the spam comments is so big, I wonder:

1- If the systems are being too tough and assume everything spam, I may miss a real one. I don’t take the time to review the hundreds per month tagged as spam, has anyone and found a real lead?

2 – Psychologically I feel like I’m getting inquiries, but not really. Hard not to gravitate toward the words, you have received an offer.

3 – I am amazed at the sheer size and amazingly low cost, here is what one message quoted: 10,000,000 messages for $99.

Has anyone applied any creative solutions to this problem. Looking for some as I pursue the perfect landing page strategy over the next few months.
