I’m going to start from the very beginning, so I apologise if any of you who’re reading this feels that I am going too slow with the tips and all (it’s a newbie section anyway, so buzz off pro!).
What you want to do first is to set up your own e-mail account that you can use for your online business. It is better to have a separate one that you can use just for business purposes because later on you’ll found out that you had subscribe to so many listings that it literally blocked you out of all your personal mails. So better be prepared and start separating your business and personal e-mails.
Oh, make sure that you get a username that is catchy & easy enough to remember and if possible, use the same username of the new e-mail for any access to any forum you joined. This is to create identity and branding. If you're planning to set up a business selling things or services online, it is better if you can plan out what it is and set up a company name - and use the company name for your e-mail account username.
One thing you should do with any e-mail account you use is to put a signature file at the end of it to advertise your business or product. This way you get free advertising with every email you send. If someone gets that email and forwards it to someone else, they too will see your signature file, and soon it can spread virally across the globe. Even if you still didn’t have any business or product to sell you still can advertise your personal blog’s URL, or an affiliate link. If you have never joined any affiliate program, just click here to start joining one!
An email signature should not try and sell the product, it should just give enough information to wet the appetite of the reader so that they will visit the site. Take the time to change your signature right now, so that it will begin working for you immediately.
