discuss Outbound email signature

[MrMDMF]

I need some guidance on creating a professional email signature.

My current signature is:

My full name
Marketing, sales, and acquisitions

my country code, followed by my phone number

BrandableClicks.com (which leads to a coming soon page)

Is there anything I should add, remove, or adjust? I'm hesitant to share my personal home address with random people by adding it, as I don't have an office block or company address.

Definitely don't redirect to a coming soon page. You need to have your website up and running at least to give some trust and credibility. If you don't want to put your full address maybe just put your city and road? Also worth puting linked social media icons to your LinkedIn etc.

I see. I thought the coming soon page would emphasize that I'm a one-man band and a fledging business, not an intimidating super conglomerate. I'll get started on at least listing my portfolio with pricing and a Contact Me page, as well as a new LinkedIn, making me the founder of Brandable Clicks, so it's all officialized.

If you don't want to put your full address maybe just put your city and road?

That's an excellent compromise; thanks for the idea.

I suppose since I already have the professional email—[email protected]—I need to back it up to give buyers who want to invest in my business some peace of mind.

Thank you Mr Haynes

No problem. I think generally the more... accountable? you appear the more trust you instill in people. The website doesn't have to come across as intimidating just something simple and clean is better than nothing. I'd view it like if someone tried to sell you something in the real world and when you went to the shop to pick it up it was a building site you might second guess your purchase.

I use the Atom White Label Marketplace for my names and so far I really rate it. Takes the leg work out of it.

That's a perfect analogy - definitely a perspective shift.

I'll look into that; thank you for the suggestion.

I'm wrestling with Dynadots built-in site editor, $20 a year for full access, which isn't bad, I just have to work out all the kinks to make it look somewhat presentable

The Atom WLM is free. The problem I found with making your own marketplace is that unless your good with CMS or coding it can be time consuming when you want to alter prices etc. With a pre made system like a WLM you can bulk change things or offer coupon codes or have sales etc. Have a look at mine haynesdomains.com to get an idea. Bare in mind I've only had it up for a couple weeks.

Ultimately it whatever works best for you.

Thank you, my friend. You've just saved me days, potentially weeks, on site development and tweaking. WLM is my new favorite thing; it's so intuitive and integrates perfectly with my portfolio.

I have a quick question. I noticed that on your site, you have "BIN" and "make offer" options for your domains. How do I enable both of these? I can only seem to do either one or the other.

Top lefthand menu, settings, marketplace settings, scroll down and enable make offer.

Good luck!!
