Step 10: Set Up Professional Email
Build trust, look legit, and stop using Gmail for business. Here's how to create email addresses on your own domain.
Why You Need a Professional Email
Imagine two businesses: one emails you from coolbiz@gmail.com, and the other from info@coolbiz.com. Who do you trust more?
Your email address is part of your brand. If your domain is ready, it’s time to attach email to it.
