Email address and business card

[Sachin Acharya]

I want to be able to professionally share my contact information with other investors during real estate meet-ups and networking in general. I have already  registered my domain name sachinacharya.com

Now before I can create that business card I can hand out, I'm facing this big question - what  should be my email address. I have already created "contactme" but in less than 24 hours I have already started hating it. sachin @ sachinacharya.com sounds redundant. 

So please suggest a good email address that goes well with @ sachinacharya.com

Next, any suggestions on a simple and elegant business card format? I don't have much information to put except for my name, email and number. The objective is to promote my name as a brand itself. I don't have a company registered yet and hence no logo either. 

Looking forward to your inputs. 

Thanks

 Depends on how detailed you want to be. If you're looking for a broadly applicable email address, I'd just use "info@". If you're looking to track leads, set up a separate email address for each platform. For example, all the people you network with and give a business card to could email you at "meetup@" or "network@" so that you know where the person received your info.

Thanks @Chad Duval 

Is "info@" applicable for domain names with first and last names like mine? 

Since I am just starting out I would like to keep it generic at the moment and branch out later.

I am not sure I am going to help but here is what I do

I use my name @gmail.com. My biz card has my picture on it with my phone and email address

You can make the email address anything you want. I have also used info@ for other projects and it worked fine.

@Sachin Acharya My top 3 choices would be

sachin @ sachinacharya.com
hello @ sachinacharya.com
info @ sachinacharya.com

[Sachin Acharya]

@Graham King 

Thanks for the advice. This is very helpful. I'll update soon on this thread the choice I go with. I'm just having some trouble with my login there which should be sorted soon. 

Thanks

Keep it as short as possible. Imagine spelling it out to 100 people over the phone, you will be glad you kept it simple.
