Lesko's Lessons FAQ
We have assembled the most commonly-asked questions and answered them here. Please read through the questions to see if your problem can be answered.
I can't confirm my subscription because it says I did not enter a valid PIN. What does this mean?

When you subscribe, an email is sent to you with a link to click for confirmation. Often, the link will break into two lines of text, and sometimes this will cause only the first line of text to be a link.

SOLUTION:
What you will have to do is copy the link and paste it into your browser address bar, possibly even one line at a time.

For example, if you see this in your email:

To confirm, simply click on the link below or copy and paste it into your browser: YOU MUST COPY THE ENTIRE LINK, EVEN IF IT BREAKS OFF ONTO ANOTHER LINE- MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL OF IT, ESPECIALLY THE NUMBERS AT THE END OF THE LINK. YOU WILL NEED THE ENTIRE LINK TO CONFIRM
http://server.lesko.com/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=n&l=subscriber
s&e=webdesigns%40starlightdesign.bz&p=7095

then you need to copy the ENTIRE link into your browser address bar like this:

DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS:

as it simply will not work, and you will get frustrated. The actual PIN is the 4- or 5-digit number at the end of the link (the PIN shown is 7095). These are randomly generated by the computer, and you can save it to unsubscribe, or you can visit the Newsletter Page and unsubscribe there, should you decide you no longer wish to receive Lesko's Lessons.

HELPFUL HINTS:
One thing you can do is upgrade your email program. This will help you receive links properly in the future.

Some AOL users might experience link problems as well, in plain text and with html. Did you know that AOL can be run only to get online, and AOL users can download and run regular state-of-the-art email programs and browsers just like normal internet surfers?

Why use AOL when all you really need is an ISP ?

I want to unsubscribe. I wrote to the list owner and nothing happened.

When you subscribe, an email is sent to you with a link to click for confirmation. This will not happen when you unsubscribe. Writing to the list owner will not work, because, as you can see at the top of each email, THE LIST OWNER IS AN UNATTENDED BOX.

SOLUTION:
What you will have to do is go to the bottom of any newsletter, where you will see your personal unsubscription link. It will look something like this:

To unsubscribe from: [Lesko's Lessons], just follow this link or cut & paste the address into your browser:
http://server.lesko.com/mojo/mojo.cgi?f=u&l=subscribers&e=webdesigns%40starlightdesign.bz&p=7095

so if you click on that link, it will unsubscribe you.

Another way to unsubscribe yourself is to go to the Newsletter Page and type in your email address, and hit unsubscribe. You need to know which list you're on to unsubscribe.

I want to unsubscribe. I unsubscribed myself and did not get a confirmation email.

When you subscribe, an email is sent to you with a link to click for confirmation. We do this for a variety of reasons. Those reasons to not apply to unsubscriptions, so you will not get a confirmation email when you unsubscribe.

SOLUTION:
Do nothing. You can resubscribe at any time, and can still check the archives by going to the Newsletter Page.

I accidentally unsubscribed myself, but I still want to receive the newsletter.

Subscriptions and unsubscriptions are handled by the server.

SOLUTION:
If you saved your confirmation email, you can simply click the confirmation link again and you will be resubscribed. If you did not save it, you can go to the Newsletter Page and enter your email again to subscribe. You will then be sent a confirmation email. You must click the link in the confirmation email to be resubscribed.

I want Matthew Lesko to help me with something.

Matthew Lesko has spent the past 25 years finding ways to get free money, government grants, and gobs and gobs of other great stuff. He has written numerous books on the subject and is probably the best and most authoritative specialist in this area. He does not give personal advice, help you find grants in your area or for your particular cause, help you fill out forms or give out free money to people. He is an author and a businessman.

SOLUTION:
Make sure these books are right for you before you buy. You will have to have a good attention span, be able to follow a train of thought, be ready to research sources of money through different channels, and be capable of filling out forms of various complexity to ensure your success. You also need to actually be eligible for the programs and grants you apply for.

I have a newsletter question or problem not addressed in this FAQ.
