G Suite Tutorial - How to Create a Business Email





through step by step how to create a

business email in this G suite tutorial

blog a G suite email is very similar to

what you might be familiar with for your

personal email with Gmail with a few

small differences so one these plans

aren't free so the basic plan is six

dollars a month and you receive 30

gigabytes of storage per email and if

you upgrade to the business plan as what

we're currently using because we upload

a lot of blogs to Google Drive and for

unlimited storage it's twelve dollars a

month

another difference is you'll be create

an email at your domain as opposed to

sending emails that end at gmail.com if

you still need to purchase the domain we

recommend that you buy your domain with

namecheap is one of the least expensive

options plus it includes free privacy

protection which can cost you an

additional ten dollars a year on other

domain websites if you still need to

purchase domain

I wanted to go through a couple

reasons why having a business email is

so important the first reason is it

looks much more professional you don't

want to be sending work-related emails

from Jeffrey Palin at hotmail or

Jeffrey's business at gmail.com or

Jeffrey J Palin 34 at yahoo.com you

should be sending it from your own

domain so you want to create an email

something like Jeff at Jeffrey's

business calm or hello at Jeffrey's

business calm or info at Jeffrey's

business etc another important reason

why you want to have a professional

email is you can start doing email

marketing honestly email marketing is

one of the most powerful tools that we

use to help us grow our business a lot

of other business owners feel the same

way but unfortunately you can't do email

marketing from a gmail hotmail or yahoo

account it needs to be a professional

business email so if you want to sign up

for convertkit MailChimp active campaign

something like that it's important to

set up your business email first if you

want to learn how to get started with

email marketing I will be writing a blog for you  on email marketing

for beginners we've been using G suite

at the fitco for about three years

now and I've used it with previous

businesses as well and honestly we had

zero complaints issues with it ever the

one thing we did upgrade from the basic

plan to the business plan over the last

couple months the basic plan we were run out of space

on basically all of our emails so that's

the main difference between those two

plans but honestly you'll be happy if

you're under fusing G suite for another

business I was working at for about a

year we were using Outlook and honestly

don't use Outlook you'll be much happier

with G suite 

one last thing before we get started if

you built your website with Squarespace

maybe this is true with other website

builders as well but you could get a

free year of G suite if you sign up

through your Squarespace account so if

you log in and see if it's available to

you hey it's a free year for free

maybe check for that before you go

through and purchase it directly with G

suite also if you don't have a website

yet we do have a free Squarespace course

that walks you through step by step

everything that you need to know I'll

link to that up above right here okay so

here we are at G suite google.com and

click get started so what we're gonna

create now is an email for my personal

brand so our business name let's just

put Jeff Valin just me yep I'm in the

United States does your business have a

domain yes I have one I can use what's

the domain Jeff Dale & Co next okay use

this domain to set up your account Jeff

Valin Co yes next okay so what user name

so obviously this could be contact

or sales or Jeff Valin let's just have

it as Jeff and then pick a password I am

NOT a robot

alright I passed agree and continue

review your payment plan try G suite

free for 14 days so G suite business

flexible plan $12 per user per month I

think in the free plan maybe it's

setting me up for the business and then

I can downgrade to G suite basic once we

get everything set up I'll go under the

admin panel and show you how to change

that back down to basic click Next to

continue

and then here's where you put in your

card information okay so G suite account

has been created

continue to set up okay welcome to the

admin console her yeah console next okay

activate Gmail for this throughout your

email so jameth five minutes activate

okay so go to M X okay let's see go

through the main host website in a new

tab sign into that domain host I've got

that done and go to MX records so if you

go to Namecheap it looks like this

and then if you click on manage for the

domain and then click on advanced DNS

and then once you're here if you scroll

down there's a section for mail settings

right now there's no email service and

then go to custom MX ok and then let's

go back to Google again okay so go to

your MX records add MX records for Gmail

okay in the server mail server value

enter this so I'm going to copy it and

then priority one okay so there's a

couple things named host alias is the @

sign

server is this Priority One okay host at

mail server this link Priority One then

Saveology

okay

okay say if I did that follow these same

steps for all of the MX records below

okay so I need to add one two three four

more MX records so if I go back here and

new record add new record add a new

record so I got one two three four more

and they're all at at so I can just fill

those in now and then this so there's

two priority 5s and two priority ten so

let's fill those in so priority five

priority five priority ten priority ten

right then go back here and then let's

copy and paste basically it's the same

thing with just the number change all 1

l 2 L 3 L 4 but we can just copy and

paste to make sure we don't make any

mistakes that one check number 2

number three

and the last one

and then Chuck okay so there's five MX

records that are all for Google that

should be okay

get your verification code add and Max

verification record so add another MX

record just like you did above only this

time

okay so do it the same and to a priority

fifteen and copy this so copy advanced

DNS add new record at this priority 15

check ok

activate Gmail okay so you might see

this a lot sometimes it may take a

couple minutes and so I'm just gonna

wait three minutes let's say and then

I'm gonna try this again so at this

point in the blog I was having an issue

G suite would not find the MX records

I'd clearly put in and put in correctly

into Namecheap normally they should only

take a couple of minutes at max maybe a

half hour but for some reason it wasn't

showing up on my account and so you know

I had even contacted Namecheap and they

said hey you did everything right just

wait a little bit it took longer than

what it should of a couple hours went by

and it didn't work and so I just went

the bad gap in the morning and tried one

more time and it worked just fine so the

point is if you have any issues contact

customer support from where are you both

in a Maine make sure everything's good

and if you follow the steps I'll walk

you through this blog it should work

just fine okay so let's retry this

all right domain verified let's set up G

suite create new users it's just gonna

be me so this would this essentially

will let me add people to the team but I

don't need to do that today

so I would gmail is activated skip for

now okay gmail is activated create new

users

ok so let's give it a try yes I've gotta

just go to mail that google.com and it

is all set up okay there we go so I can

start sending emails now from Jeff at

Jeff Valin co so the one thing I wanted

to show you if you go back to basically

if you go back to admin Google okay so

what I was saying before if you go into

billing okay so you can see G suite

business and then what I would want to

do here is downgrade to G suite basic

and then it's gonna show you here's all

the differences downgrade to G suite

basic continue so I mean either way

you'll still have the the free trial but

this way after the 14 days you'll be on

the the basic plan to get started as

opposed to business alright paid service

starts in 13 days okay and then if you

go back to admin if you ever want to add

other people to your team you click on

users right here and then add a new user

and then here you go you can add

somebody new to your team alright that's

it were you able to follow along is your

G suite email set up and ready to go if

you're having any issues whatsoever I'd

say the first step is Google it

sometimes you know hearing for me is one

way to explain it but if you Google say

Go Daddy G suite you'll see an article

like this one that'll walk you through

step by step how to set everything up

that's maybe more personalized to where

you bought your domain and other things

such as that also if you have any other

issues you can always leave a comment

down below in the comment section and

we'll do our best to point you in the

right direction now that you have your

business email all set up if you want to

get started with the email marketing

next blog will be on email marketing
