The Coolest Email Trick

If I Was In It For The Clicks I’d Title This ‘This Email SuperHack Will Save You Hours’ #

Until today, I had no idea that adding a number to the end of your email address before the ‘@’ symbol could allow you to theoretically create infinite email addresses.

I discovered this little thing while trying to circumvent “single email per account” restrictions on Twitter. I had seen my buddy Braxton send me an example of it earlier, but to be honest I thought he was joking with me. It wasn’t until today that I decided to send a test email to myself and it worked!

How Do I Do It? #

It’s incredibly simple! Just add a number! Literally!

myemail@example.com
becomes
myemail+2@example.com

Wrap Up #
