I created a tool that eliminates spam emails completely. Where to go from here?

I have built a tool that eliminates spam emails. It uses a pretty simple process.

    1. Checks your emails address for payments to it.
    1. Get the receipts.
    1. Check for emails with the payment receipt included
    1. Send those emails to your First Class Gmail Inbox instead of the traditional inbox.

What should I do now? I would like to pitch investors and other companies to adopt the tech. But, where should I go in your opinion?

    Congratulations. If I understand what you wrote – you created postage. People have known this for some time – ‘spam’ was a nuisance long before the popular modern internet – and there are nuances to making it work you haven’t mentioned.

    The only place I know this to be a working solution is corporate nets. Where it curtails the tendency for cover-your-ass rampant CC inclusions.

    This is so old I no longer own the books and dead-tree magazines it was written in. It was a popular proposal in the 1990’s.

    You want more benefits for this to be any commercial product sold to a general public. Ideally, the way to get a prototype up-and-running is to start an online community – just like Reddit – then work out the nuances I mentioned but won’t tell you about.

    Included in that process would have to be, oh I dunno, becoming a better marketer by one order of magnitude or thereabouts. And perhaps only one hundred times better at eighth-grade homework skill, which then qualifies you to begin research.

    Those who will not learn from history are doomed. Something any reasonably bright eighth grader – or the slower ones in summer school – could have told you about.

    I have considered the potential for wider acceptance of a modernized reimagining of postage. And I can think of a hundred interesting experiments to prove out in a working prototype. A genuine pity you do not seem to be the one to execute on this – at all.

    ​

    Postage Due — for your corporate e-mail as always, potential without any interesting actuality. This needs to be thoroughly rethought to have appeal for the ‘free internet’ folk. Despite some smart people at America Online, Compuserve and others – there seems to be a serious cognitive impasse at work.

    Will Cyber fashion trend expand? (DISCUSSION) While it is an unrelated topic, do you see an interesting form of discussion going on? Nope. Boring. Please do mention how many Reddit folk you bored into using this thing.

    Thank you for this. You have given me quite a few ideas. Some I have already began on, such as attempting to start a reddit-like community on the platform

    I have a prototype but it sucks So I will continue working on it!

    Thank you again. I did look at one of your links and will look at the other.
