Need An Email Address?

My Quest For An Email Address

This past weekend I set up an auto responder account through AWeber Communications. During the set up process under their List Options tab, it recommended that I do not use a free email address such @gmail, @aol, @yahoo, etc so that when someone opts in for my email mailing list, the will see an email address with the name of my business I'm with instead of a general free email. Even though one of those free address can work just fine, it's just their recommendation that they're not used.

Even though I didn't have an email address for the company I'm working through I went ahead and set it up with my free @gmail account. The set up was very easy to do and follow and I had it going in no time at all. But I kept thinking that what they are suggesting made sense. If I got emails from a business I'd rather see the name of the business in the email rather than seeing one of those free email addresses.

So I went online and did a Google search on how to buy email addresses. I came across a YouTube video tutorial on how to set up an email with your domain name through Host Gator. After watching the short video in its entirety it didn't take me long to decide to give them a try.

Through Host Gator you can have your email address set up in a snap. The first thing I had to do was to create a unique domain name that include the name of the company I'm working through. Once I found an available domain name and paid for it, the next step was to pay Host Gator to host it. I chose the right hosting package to suit my budget, paid and now I was ready to create my new email address.

The Creation Of The Email Address Was Fun & Simple

Creating the email address didn't take long at all. I only had to add my first and last name (although you can choose whatever) and place it in front of my newly created domain name and wah-lah, there you have it, a new email address.

Not long after everything was done, I added it to my AWeber account. Now those who opt in to receive emails from me will see my name and the business I'm associated with. It just looks better that way.
So if you're in the same situation such as I was in, I suggest giving Host Gator a look over.
