Electronic greeting cards (ecards) are an inexpensive way to tell someone how you feel. They’re great for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions. But they’re also spammy, annoying, and few of your recipients really care to read them! There are other unfortunate things about ecards that put them on the list of items labeled Do Not Use… EVER.

First, an ecard notice in your inbox is usually assumed as a completely harmless thing; when you see the words “Someone sent you an eCard,” or some other derivative, you immediately start to open it and wonder who the “someone” is and why you are so special. You don’t pay attention to the URL and quickly find yourself clicking on links to view the card… enabling whatever malicious code lies underneath. Congratulations! Your computer has now likely been hijacked to carry out some sinister purpose.

To the unsuspecting and totally trusting computer user, they think it’s all legitimate. Some experienced users are even getting fooled. What’s worse, greeting card seasons will always see a large rash of malicious ecard spam incidents. Trust me on this: sending an ecard for Christmas is NOT a good idea.

Looking for alternatives? Here’s a list of things that not only you don’t have to put a stamp on to send, they are FREE:

  • Phone calls – nobody calls anymore. You’ll be surprised how happy you will make someone by a simple phone call. You’ve already paid for the service, the minutes you’ll use and your phone – nothing else to buy!
  • Text, picture, or video messages – use your phone, digital camera or camcorder to send a personalized greeting.
  • Tweets – use Twitter to send your holiday greetings in 140 characters or less. What could be simpler?
  • Zazzle pizazz – Create neat, one-of-a-kind Zazzle products and give your friends and family the opportunity to purchase your beautiful picture mug, t-shirt or handbag. At least give them the option to refuse rather than receiving the gift and never using it.

Do you have more free ideas for sending holiday greetings to friends, colleagues and loved ones? Remember, no stamps allowed!

People ask me every day if they can buy Pirillo or Lockergnome T-shirts. After considering it, I’ve decided to create a small “store” of sorts… on Zazzle! You can create your own Zazzle store, create merchandise, and sell it easily!

Choose from over 350 products to design. Post them for sale in the Zazzle marketplace. When someone buys your product, you make money! Do you want to create a store to showcase your creations? On Zazzle, you can easily set up your own shop, decorate it, and promote it with their tools.

It’s completely free to sign up and start creating! You get a percentage of every item sold, as does Zazzle. It can’t be any easier than that!

Keep an eye out on my Zazzle store for more products and deisgns coming soon.
