Would you do business with someone with an email address like billylovesboobs@whateverthehell.com? Well, maybe I would, if the pay were right, but still . . . .
Your email address is one of the first things people see about you, and when you’re doing business, it must reflect positively on you. Too many times I get professional communiques from people with email addresses that graphically describe their physical attributes, their flair for obscene or misogynistic language, or their sexual proclivities. Which I do not want to know about, especially if we’re talking business.
Take it from an old pro: get yourself an email address that you’d be proud to email the President from. Maybe just your name, (with a twist if that’s already taken), the name of your business, or some quality or attribute that sells.
Keep the dirty-word email addresses for when you’re chatting with your homies, or signing up with porn sites. Got that, miss lusciouslips@memail.com?
Comments and questions, guys. Let’s talk it through!
