Ter Scott WEB TIPS Your "Online Web Class" Interactive Resource

Hello out there readers!

If anyone from my classes and workshops is reading this, and for anyone who "stumbled" upon this post, I sincerely want you to learn something that will make your online experience (and that of others) less frustrating and will certainly reward you with more visitors to your email, blogs, and sites.

What I'm "harping" about is people who have email addresses and domain names that are easily misunderstood which in turn means that your email doesn't go through or the person you gave your web site address to, tries it and doesn't get to your site.

Here are a few examples of emails that I'm having trouble with right now; this moment. I've recently conducted an in-class workshop on how to improve and promote your website. I'm sending a "welcome" email to those who printed (by hand) their email address on the attendance sheet. I've changed them just a bit so they aren't "real" but will work for my "rant" here.

"playoil-yahoo.com"
Is this "playoil-yahoo.com" with a dash, "playoil_yahoo.com" with and underscore, " and/or is the dash meaning:@ sign? Does this person tell another: "I'm at playoil underscore @ yahoo.com"?

"PSpantsmaker@gmail.com"
When in an elevator does this person tell another: "Email me sometime, I'm at capital letter "P", capital letter "S", and the pantsmaker@gmail? It's hard enough for people to remember whether it is gmail, Yahoo, or whatever as it is.

Please understand that I'm only using this as a learning example for all to learn by. From here out, please, no dashes, underscores, and such for your email address; make it easy for others to remember and to contact you. Yes, I kind of like my own: terscottpromotes@yahoo.com; that is my name and that is what I do.

Later I'll help you with how to choose a great domain name even though it seems all of the "good ones" are gone. For now if you were in that class and you read this post, know that this may be the reason you did not get my Welcome email!

Make it a great day!
