When you give out your email address, you are letting people know much more than just where to send an email. You are portraying an image. If you are running or representing a business, nothing screams “I’m not running a proper business” more than giving out an email such as mycompany@gmail.com to your client. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t have a Gmail address but you shouldn’t give it out to prospective clients/customers if you want to portray a professional image.
We know we are comfortable with Gmail, It’s very easy to use and sync with your devices, etc. So, here we are to tell you how to use your professional email like myaddress@mycompany.com with the convenience of Gmail? There is, it’s dead simple, and in this post, you will learn how.
