Recently, WordPress, which administers this website, sent me an offer for a “professional email.” After signing up for it, I asked what it was exactly that I had bought.

The answer, generated by AI (and what intelligence isn’t artificial?) was very helpful. Here are some of the uses to which I can put a”professional email.” After telling me how to set up a new email address, it went on to tell me some of the things I could do with the new email address:

1) addresses like info@nickawampuspoloclubblog.com, for general inquiries, or

2) use contact@nickawampuspoloclubblog.com for member communications, or

3) consider events@nickawampuspoloclubblog.com for announcing tournaments and other events.

It suggested that I create a regular newsletter featuring tournament results, match highlights, player spotlights, and behind-the-scenes action, and post about upcoming tournaments, club events, or lessons, and share polo tips and educational content for beginners.

And it included promotional strategies to connect with equine sites, use social media as a promotion, and use WordPress.com’s Blaze advertising tool to spread my blog content on WordPress and Tumblr networks.

This is very close to the online polo club I’ve been envisioning, and I’m going to use it as a template for coming entries.

Stay tuned!
