Generally, I recommend against cold emails. They are often treated like spam.
Hi @optimistic !
Here are some helpful articles from FCC news that will show how to get clients and build your business.
@jwilkins.oboe
thanks for the helpful links, but also I am just curious
what is normal?
should the email for cold emails be named by my real name? or named by my website name?
and many thanks in advance.
I think that some of the articles address these questions.
I would think really carefully about spamming potential clients with ‘cold emails’ though. How seriously do you take unsolicited emails trying to sell you stuff?
You should look into getting an email address with your business name instead of a personal address.
I own a small business and get unsolicited emails all of the time.
They always go in the trash can.
@jwilkins.oboe
thanks for your reply.
and please, what do you mean by personal address? do you mean my website name?
and many thanks in advance
If you purchase a domain name, then you can use yourname@yourdomain.com as your business email. That’s the most professional looking angle I’ve seen.
This would be a personal email address.
Ex. johndoe@gmail.com
This would would have a business name
Ex. johndoe@developersolutions.com
You want to appear as professional as possible.
@jwilkins.oboe
thanks so much for explaining.
sorry the last question.
I am asking
should it be like
myrealname@gmail.com
or
mywebsitename@gmail.com
?
sorry for my questions and many thanks in advance.
If possible, something like this is best. If you can’t afford to buy a domain (~$20/yr or so), then I’d go for developersolutions@gmail.com
Hopefully buying a domain name and keeping it updated is a viable option for you.
Think of it as a business investment.
Also I am open to other suggestions and ideas concerning that
We already answered this exact question some months ago for you:
Nothing changed since then.

thanks for your comment. I just stick to having gmail because I did not get the idea of the $10 domain.
can I have this domain without hosting? since I use free blog.
I think paid hosting only give us email like this not only domain can give us such email.
Purchasing the domain and hosting the contents for the domain are separate. I own a domain, I host my assets for my website on my domain on GitHub, and I use fastmail to manage my email accounts for my domain.
@JeremyLT
thanks so much for sharing. so fastmail service gives you your businesss email not github?
