How to Setup Professional Email Address with Google Gmail?
Having your own brand name and professional email address but not using your branded email for sending emails, newsletters or communicating with your clients is really a foolish mistake that many bloggers often made. I was too 🙁 Sometimes webmasters and bloggers don’t care about this though it’s essential for any business to make it more professional.
Are you one of them? Seriously??
Do you have any idea by continuing this B.S approach actually you are ruining your business or blogging journey day by day(especially in business). Personally whenever I see a business that is using a free email address like Gmail, Yahoo mail address instead of their own branded email, just one thing comes in my mind. A business who is using un-branded email as an official contacting source, is they really want to do business or they are really serious about business? actually, they are not.
Honestly, how many times you contact a firm/company which is using @gmail or @yahoo.com as their professional email address. So, why you also doing this mistake? You can use your branded mail address with Gmail easily by configuring some easy settings. After configuration, whenever you send an email this will be sent via your brand name like [email protected] instead of Gmail address.
Today, in this article I will show you how to set up your professional email address with Google Gmail.
How to Setup a Professional Email Address with Gmail?
- Now after creating mail address, Sign In to your Gmail account.
- Click on Gear Icon located at the top right side of your browser windows and then Settings.

Now you just need to set up a mail forwarder to receive all emails in your Gmail account that users/clients will send on your professional email address. To achieve this go to your hosting control panel on the home screen, you will see a section named “Mail” within this section click on Forwarders>Add Forwarder and point your branded email toward Gmail address. Now when anyone will send an email, it will be redirected to your Gmail id.
