Why You Need Four Different Email Addresses
How many email addresses do you have? And don't say one. One is WEAK. If you're really tough you're gonna have a lot more. According to Lifehacker.com, it's good to have at least FOUR email addresses.
1. Your personal email. This is your most protected email address. Only friends and other people you want to hear from should have it. Don't ever enter it into web forms, don't use it to sign up for accounts or shopping. Protect it.
2. An email for apps, trials, and shopping. Use this address whenever you buy something, sign up for an app, or start a free trial. This address will get a LOT of marketing messages, most of which you really don't want or need.
3. An email for newsletters. Email newsletters are everywhere. If you sign up for them using one email, that inbox becomes kind of like a curated news feed for you. You can open it and just focus on reading and enjoying.
4. An email for your side hustle or other personal business. This address is one where you're going to get a LOT of sales pitches.
