According to AWeber, it is not a good idea to use Free Email for sending eNewsletters. Why?

  • Delivery rate for eNewsletters is lower.  It’s a free account that many people use for illegal purposes  such as spamming.
  • Hard to remember.  It is very hard to remember a series of numbers and letters.
  • It says you are cheap. It only costs about $10/year at GoDaddy.com to have your own domain name and an email address.
  • You are not building your company’s brand. You are building the brand of the company you get your email from.

In Conclusion

If you don’t have the time to build a website, then just get a great email address.

As mentioned above, the cost for purchasing a domain and having an email address is about $10/year (GoDaddy.com).

In most web hosting contracts, your email addresses are included.

Ok… so now you have to check both your free email account and your business email account.   It doesn’t have to be any more painful than if you have one email address.

With many email clients (Outlook Express, Mac Mail) and web-based email systems (Yahoo, Hotmail), you can view email from multiple addresses in one spot.
