Listen, we all know how easy it is to use a Gmail or Yahoo email account, and don’t even get me started on AOL! Those email platforms work great for personal use, but your goal should be to elevate your business and brand. To do that, you need a professional email.

Think about it for a minute, if you had a business reach out to you saying that their email was “repairman@gmail.com”, chances are you’re going to feel like it might be a scam. If your email address is something like “travelpal124039@gmail.com” or “travelwith___@gmail.com”, your clients are going to have the same negative connotation about your business.

So, maybe you don’t have – or don’t want – a website for your travel business. That’s OK!

You can still purchase a domain/URL (web address) for about $20/year and an email account for about $70/year. That’s less than $10/month to have a professional email address, and it’s usually discounted for the first year too. Invest in yourself, it’ll make a world of difference!

Here is a list of suppliers where you can purchase your domain/URL/web address*:

1. Google Domains
2. GoDaddy
