Since you can set up multiple email accounts, consider creating one account for work and a second one for personal use. That way, you won’t accidentally send a flippant message about your vacation to your boss or a serious message about work to your nine-year-old nephew.

After you’ve set up one or more email accounts, consider customizing your signature to display or advertise your website, your business, or your own unique skills. For example, if you’re a carpenter or a doctor, your signature could publicize your line of work such as “The Most Honest Carpenter in Denver” or “The Doctor That Children Trust.” The more free advertising you can get through email signatures, the more exposure you’ll get, which will be better for you.

If email is important to you, you can read and write messages on your iPad and never lose contact with anybody. Now all you have to worry about is giving out your email address sparingly only to those people you trust. Otherwise you’ll risk getting overrun with unsolicited messages.
