What is Professional Email
I think 75% of people who are reading this blog will have an email from Gmail , outlook, yahoo like yourname@gmail.com. This is unprofessional because it is saying that Hello this address is powered by Gmail. Take a look at this mail rehanshaik@webdevsop.tech.
It is saying that hello I am mail address from webdevsop.tech which represents your brand URL more like professional.
How to get professional Email
Professional Email is cool but how to get it. You can do it with Gsuite but it's costly, not free (It's Google). This is for companies. But what about Freelancers, Bloggers Zoho Got you covered.
