How many email addresses do you have? If your answer is one, you need to step up your game.
According to LifeHacker.com you need to have at least four different email addresses. Here are what they are for…
- A Personal Email – This is the address you protect the most. It is for use by family, friends and other people you want to hear from. Never use it for web forms, shopping or signing up for accounts.
- An Apps, Trials and Shopping Email – This is the address to use for shopping, free trials, signing up for apps and things of that nature. This address will get a LOT of marketing emails, most of which you can just delete.
- A Newsletter Email – There are Email Newsletters for just about everything now. Sign-Up for them using this email and it will keep the news you want to read in a curated list for you to enjoy.
- A Personal Business or Side-Hustle Email – This is one that you will use to do your business and it could get a lot of sales pitches.
If you are like most people, you also have an email for your day job. One provided by the company you work for. That brings you to a total of five email addresses.
Keeping track of all these emails kind of makes me wish we could go back to just going to the mailbox in front of your home to get mail.
