Choosing an email address is not easy these days. There are several obvious barriers: all the good and unique names are already taken by someone, and there is no fantasy for something special. Let's see how a simple Yandex email address can affect not only online communication, but also your career and business.
Basics
So you probably know that most email services today are free. Paid ones just can't compete. On any of these services, you can register an email address, an example of which looks like this: [email protected]. This is a good option for personal mail, not very suitable for business, but for an individual career, it is quite suitable. The email name is divided into two parts: the first you come up with yourself, the second is taken from the service on which you register the mailbox. There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a name.
No numbers
Of course, your cell number is unique, but you don't need to call your mail like that. No client will remember it and write to you. All becausethat numbers are less well absorbed by our consciousness, since they do not find any embodiment in images and pictures. Bad examples of email addresses: 873649207@ or Vk_45324@. In general, numerical combinations, if they can occur in your address, then they must be justified: 365days or 33korovy. Then the user will remember them easily.
No personal
Do not express anything personal in the address: this includes your political views, preferences in intimate life, and the like. Worst examples of email addresses: ihatenegros or wannasex. Not a single person will have business with you either in the first or in the second case. It is much better if the name of the mail is neutral and non-binding.
No complications
If you came up with a word in Russian and wrote it down in English, then the degree of uniqueness is very high, but the degree of memorability is zero. Here are examples of email addresses: vjz_rjirf (my_cat). No one will remember you, and if you start explaining to someone that you need to write in Russian on the English layout, they will simply treat you with disdain, and therefore they won’t want to have any business. In terms of complexity, it is also worth abandoning underscores, transliterated names with the letters “g”, “u”, “s”, etc., dots and other things that interfere with understanding your address. Ideally, the address should be understood from the first second. If a person is forced to ask again, then this is a bad address. After all, he may not ask again, but simply ignore you.
Let's bring it downresults
Examples of e-mail addresses that have an unpleasant bias in their meaning, at least for some users, are not allowed. Numbers and different punctuation marks in the names are undesirable. Avoid complexity. So, for example, if your company is called "Ideal", then the address should look like ideal@any service. But it happens… never. You can write ideal24@ indicating the region, or moyideal@, ide altut@ will do. The address should be easy to read in Russian, because not everyone knows English even at a basic level. In general, look for your combination. And make it as convenient as possible for the end user.
