Good net usage includes using two email addresses for various reasons, including misdirection (for example, maybe you want to use a social media network, but you don’t want to be search by your email address in the most foolproof way possible). However, Gmail allows you to have one email address that you can use to create on the fly more email addresses. It’s a trick that’s been in Gmail for a long time and you probably never used it!

Here are two ways to do it using gmail. 

Using periods. For example... let’s say your email is [email protected]. You can use [email protected]. Gmail will still redirect it to you. 

the + method. Same example - [email protected]. You can use [email protected] when you sign up for newsletters. 

Gmail & Outlook can do this this on the fly without any pre-setup. 

So, if think you need a brand new internet address when you sign up for stuff, just use an alias instead. It’ll make things easier.
