How to create a credible professional email address

1. Register your domain name

Coming across as a professional is especially important for those who are just starting out. Considering that most of your interactions are online, you should establish your company’s presence by registering your domain name

It is important to pick a domain name that is easily associated with your company. It should also be short enough to be memorable without being prone to misspelling or mishearing. If your desired name is already taken, you can opt for a new domain extension best suited to your business and brand, such as .online.site, or even something more specific such as .tech (if you are a tech company) or .space (if you are an artist). 

Such a domain name is unique and relevant and it also saves you from modifying your name of choice because it was already taken or was too expensive. 

2. Stick to your name

Now that you have a domain name, you can easily use it to create your business email address. Since your domain name is unique to your company, chances are that you can opt for an address that simply uses your name.

The most commonly used options are the 

  • First name – jessie@wordsmith.online
  • First and last name – jessietodd@wordsmith.online
  • First name initial and last name – jtodd@wordsmith.online
  • First name and last name initial – jessiet@wordsmith.online

Avoid using numbers, special symbols or variations of your name’s spelling as they may make your email address harder to remember. 

3. Keep it straightforward

Running a successful online business is all about standing out, being relevant, and memorable. This is why your email address should be direct, credible and easily recognizable. 

When people see your name and your company’s name, they will know at once that the message is from a legitimate source. On the other hand, something random such as crazy.kewl.90@hotmail.com might sound unique and maybe even reflects your personality but can deter people from taking you seriously and harm your business reputation. 

Coming up with the right email address might be the least of your concerns as a new entrepreneur. But it’s really the little things that make all the difference. Using a professional business email address shows that you are serious about your business, that you are not just starting out (even if you are) and that you are here to stay.
