How are Netaddress.com and USA.net still in business?
You do, indeed, get what you pay for. I’ve had an account with Netaddress since a month after I first signed on the web, sometime in the early 1990s. I was in a professional position at the time. It was free. Then it wasn’t. But it was always up and running. And when I had to send a serious email to someone, as in: “What is happening with the Whatever account?” my signature was never followed with something idiotic as in “Do You Yahoo?”
The service has only been down for minor, late-night maintenance intervals. When all else failed, Netaddress was there. It’s not expensive; it always works. You get what you pay for.

I am a lawyer and sole practitioner. My wife and I engage in numerous outside
activities and have many friends and contacts. We have used netaddress exclusively for both business and personal contacts. Here is what I find extremely valuable about this paid service.
A consistent address over twenty years. An old friend or client from way back can find us anytime. And the address is short and easy for people to remember.
The junk mail filter is extremely effective. I am trying to remember when a relevant email ended in junk mail. Thousands of pieces of junk mail are caught every month.
There is an app that integrates the calendar, task and contact functions with our
iDevices. The company uses universal data protocols that allow cross-platform integration with programs like Outlook.
The service is reliable, with very few notices of periods of downtime.
I got voice help when I needed it.
The emails have no advertisements or commercial tags, which is essential for a professional presentation. Only my “signature” custom tags appear at the bottom of each email.
It has two interfaces. We prefer the old crusty-looking one where we can find what we are looking for and create folders for saving emails. And you can switch between the two views easily.
Extra levels of memory are available at extra but moderate cost. And they let you know when you are reaching your limit.
Has an effective search function to find a saved email.
Has a good editor with a spell function.
Attachments are easy to add and forward.
In short, the service is solid in basic and effective service that does not force you to learn new tricks every day. My main criticism is that the online instructions must be improved and updated. I say that about a lot of services and software.
The service is still competitive with the so-called “free” services. It provides a lot of value at a moderate annual cost.
How are Netaddress.com and USA.net still in business?
USA.net is something I take for granted. I often use the aliases. If I sign up for something and a lot of mail comes to that address, I know they have sold my address, so I delete that alias.
I added another account a year or so ago. I began getting junk, which I had not received in years. They called me several times and worked with me, so now I don’t want anything coming my way.
The other thing is that they allow me to keep my old email, so it is relatively easy to find if I need to check something from a long time ago. I move old mail to a folder occasionally.
Until I read the above, I didn’t realize how much I appreciate it. Thank you for the opportunity.

I’ve had the service for years. It’s worth its weight in gold.
Have you not heard of having a permanent email address, so you’re not at the mercy of changing ISPs changing your email address through the years?
I’ve had the same USA.net address for ages now. It’s the only address I need to give anyone. My forwarding setting at Netaddress.com allows all of my email to automatically forward to me at the ISP email address of my choice.
It’s like paying for a PO Box to have continuity in your address through the years. It’s been an extremely valuable service to me!
How are Netaddress.com and USA.net still in business?
Because they provide a wide variety of services beyond the individual email address accounts for the USA. Net.
They also provide hosted Exchange, hosted non-exchange and other solutions to companies. This concept is called leveraging scale to provide a service for less than what many companies can do in-house – especially if they have to hire someone to do it.
The ongoing service they provide to their customers and why many are still with them is simple – they wanted to stay the same once the email was out there. I know this is the case with myself, who has used their address since it was free. Once the company ‘folded’ and became a charge service, I stayed to maintain the same email address. As a contractor, it made sense for me to reach out to other people through a single email address I had maintained for roughly 20 years. Keep in mind, despite having my email on Google Apps now, and I still maintain an email address with this company to be contacted by old friends who knew me at places I used to work. I now use Google Apps to check the mail and pull it all into my interface there – but I still maintain the address since it allows me to receive attachments and a few other things that Google does not.

Will, too, add to this. Like some others here, I have had my email address (which I logged into here incidentally) for almost 20 years. I tried Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and what have you and always ended with the same results: tons of spam and people saying I emailed them when I didn’t. I even had to make a separate address on Yahoo and finally just dropped it because it wasn’t worth the effort. The Net@ddress spam filter is awesome; all their services are on point, and I still use the original UI. IMAP/POP use is easy. I’ve been a happy customer! I only asked them once if they were ever going to develop an Android app, and though they said it was planned, it has yet to happen. However, they called me about thrice to ensure I was satisfied with my answer… Even though I wasn’t, I appreciated the attention. I never had any other company even come close to that.

Netaddress.com and USA.net are both in the business of providing web-based email addresses to customers.
They have been in business for many years, and they remain popular choices for people who need an email address that is easy to remember and looks professional.
Both companies offer a variety of features, including the ability to create aliases and forward messages to other email addresses.
They also allow you to automatically set up filters to delete or file certain messages.
Do you have a website for your business? Is it beneficial?
Interesting question. Yes, but that won’t help you because I think only some businesses need one. :-p
A website can add value to your business in two main ways:
- You can use it to generate leads through content marketing. i.e. get people to visit your site from Google.
- You can use it to generate leads through outbound marketing. i.e. you can do cold emailing to find clients/ customers.
I use websites in both ways for different business interests. They add value to my projects, which is why I have them. That said, a website might not add value to your business.
A website can drain your business if you need to know what you’re doing. Keep in mind:
- Paying a website designer to create a site for you could be expensive.
- Managing a website, especially if you’re planning to generate leads through content marketing, takes a lot of time and might need more time to get the results you’re after.
- Setting up a website could distract you from more profitable ways to grow your business.
There’s no ‘one’ answer.
Ask yourself, “How will a website benefit my business?” You don’t need one if you don’t have a clear answer to that question.
That’s not a bad thing. Too many companies rush to create a website without questioning what they need one for in the first place…

What is the difference between wordai.com and quillbot.com?
WordAi.com and Quillbot.com are online text-editing tools that use artificial intelligence to help users with their writing tasks. However, they have some key differences:
- WordAI is a text-spinning tool that can automatically rewrite an existing text, replacing words and phrases with synonyms to create unique content. People often use it to avoid plagiarism, improve SEO, and generate unique content.
- Quillbot, on the other hand, is a tool that aims to help users with their grammar and writing style. It uses A.I. to analyze user input and then suggests changes to improve the readability and flow of the text. It can also help users rewrite sentences to avoid plagiarism, but its main focus is improving the text’s overall quality.
- WordAI also has an option to generate new content, but it’s less advanced than Quillbot; its main focus is rewriting existing text.
- Another aspect is that Quillbot is a freemium service, which offers basic functionality for free and advanced features for a fee, while WordAI is a paid service.
Both tools can be useful for different writing tasks. Still, WordAI is primarily intended for creating unique content for SEO or other marketing purposes, while Quillbot is more focused on helping users improve the quality of their writing.

Why are cigarette companies still doing business in the U.S.A.?
Because The U.S.A. has a smoking rate of 12% of its adult population, the U.S. has indeed decreased its original rate notoriously, given that in the 90s, the rate was over 40%.
But, there’s something rare at this rate. You’ll see… Most countries have a smoking rate of around 22% and haven’t made significant changes (decreasing 2–4% in the two decades). Thirty years ago, no country was a strong smoker like the U.S., when most of the world was around 26–27%. Today, the U.S. has a very low smoking rate compared to everyone else. The U.K. and Australia -all of them with anglo-saxon protestant origin- are the other nations where the decrease in the smoking rate has been significant. However, the U.S., with such a low smoking rate, consumes more cigarettes per capita than France, doubling its smoking population. Besides, smoking bans are much stricter in the U.S. than in France, and such is social pressure. So there’s something here that doesn’t fit. It’s possible that the U.S. statistics are inaccurate, and there are many more smokers than you think because if you are American, you can see that people in the U.S. have very few opportunities to smoke. I don’t think that U.S. Americans smoke as much as it’s needed to double tobacco consumption than a French smoker (who has less social pressure and much more chances of smoking). That’s what common sense tells me.
I even think that many people who post questions here on Quora complaining that the smoke of their neighbour goes everywhere in their house are, in fact, people who live with secret smokers. Teenage sons, wives, and husbands who smoke secretly and disapprove of smoking in public. That has been the case in some societies, like in Indonesia and India, where the culture is very oppressive to women and have huge cigarette consumption that doesn’t correspond with the number of recognized smokers.
Anyway, when an industry has a consumer base of 12% of the adult population, it has a stronger market than many other industries. Considering a pack per person per day, you can see how big the business is.
Are vending machines still a profitable business?
Vending machine is a broad term. It covers everything from a single bubble gum machine to banks of machines selling all kinds of food in a factory break room.
Full-line vending is the term used to describe the field of providing and servicing soda machines, snack machines, sandwich machines, and more.
There are many national and regional full-line vending companies. However, the heyday of this industry was when the U.S. was full of factories. Today, with vastly fewer factories, the number of locations has dropped tremendously. Today, vending companies face higher costs for more sophisticated machines in places where they serve smaller and smaller numbers of potential customers. Look at the major retailers. Many have snack and soda machines in their break rooms, but they sell sodas, candy and snacks at the check-out counters, and there is a hot dog vendor right outside the door.
So, the only growth is in office environments. Many businesses advocate onsite free meals and free snacks as perks of employment. I’ve seen large businesses with vending machines that vend at no charge when a staff member swipes their employee badge.
The latest development in full-line vending is onsite automated Mini Marts.
These Marts are small rooms where customers enter and select items from shelves and pay by credit card at the exit. There is no investment in machines but a big investment in theft control and payment acceptance methods. Some Marts record purchases by the customer swiping their badge. Some organizations do not charge the upper management for purchases, instead reimbursing the mini-mart operator.
These mini markets are big business, and the big national operators are very active in expanding in this area.
The big full-line vending companies are growing rapidly in an area without machines!
Someone can buy a drink machine and a snack machine, place them in a business with at least 100 employees, and make a profit after servicing the machine, paying for repairs and other costs. The challenge is finding and holding on to the location.
Find the location, buy rebuilt machines from a reputable re-manufacturing company, and get them delivered, installed, set up, filled and running properly. I expect such a situation to produce around ten per cent pre-tax profit, after taking out for servicing weekly, cost of goods sold and repair costs. A good drink and snack machine should cost around $4,000 and return around ten per cent yearly, or around $400 yearly.
Would a vending machine business even be worth it?
I like the vending machine business theory in that it’s passive income, etc., but the problem is the cash outlay.
I’m doing something similar online but with websites (I call it virtual real estate).
It’s called local lead generation.. here’s how it works.
You build a website about a local service, e.g. carpet cleaning.
Next, you rank the website in Google and put a call tracking number on it. You then redirect that number to a local carpet cleaning service that wants more customers.
When someone searches in Google for a carpet cleaner and finds your site, they call the number and are redirected to the local carpet cleaning company that takes the call.
When that happens, the carpet cleaning company pay you, but they are happy because you are sending them leads, and they are getting a chance to get another customer.
Here’s more info on how this works, but as you can see, it’s like virtual real estate because you’re renting out the site effectively.
I’ve now got over 50 of these websites that I send leads to various local business owners, who then pay me for them.
I’m making over $50K a month now, and it’s all from the sites I built in the last few years.
Here’s how I got started if you want to learn more.
