is having a yahoo addy ridiculous or suspicious?
and i'm not talking about some lame addy for
spamming like [email protected]... i'm
talking about my addy... as i get the impression
that my addy seems 'unreal'... as if i shouldn't
be having a yahoo addy.
is there some sort of 'official' email address
i should have?!?!?! some address that makes
it unquestionable that this is my real
email addy?
why do people seem to raise their eyebrow
at such an address?
Try [email protected]
That's the sort of thing you need if you don't wanna look suspicious.
im not sure i follow.....gimme more
Want gmail? Still got me a few invites left.
i didn't really want to go into this kind of
detail (publicly)... so i'll just give the basics.
but i happened to run into an old friend this
past weekend... someone i haven't seen in, oh...
almost 4 years (since before i moved to conway).
he had asked for my email addy and i gave it to
him... to which he had replied....
"oh... YAHOO...."
as if to suggest i was giving him some secondary
email account with the intention of blowing him
off.
i found this really strange... and honestly,
something i had never considered before.
it was in that moment that i questioned whether
or not my email addy was sufficient... or if
people just assume its some 'spam me here' address
I used to use it as that type of address... The one you'd give to people you don't particularly want to talk to..
But that is because from the birth of the internet in my home, i have always been loyal to hotmail..
In my wanderings I have found that some places will not accept "free" email accounts, probably because anyone can sign up with any name, any time, and there is no real info related to them. In half my email accounts I'm an 80something year old, in Russia, or south america, or whatever.
On the other hand, a "valid" email, from a business, university, etc, appears to be more meaningful because, for some odd reason.
However, if someone were to hand me any email address after I requested it, after not seing someone for years, I would be happy to recieve it.
got it

Don't know what types of bad subject lines to avoid? Subject lines that ask for time. Time is the only finite resource. We can't make more time. So when someone gives you their time, it is a precious gift. Keep this in mind when drafting your subject line and try not to ask for anything https://www.growbots.com/blog/email-subject-lines-to-avoid/ . This is especially true for cold letters. Your potential client doesn't know you, probably doesn't know your company, and doesn't (yet) care what you can do for them.
