WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000 In this video, I'll show you how to set up a Google account that is just a forward to 2 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:08.000 another email address. 3 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.680 So this is very helpful if you are working with a team of contractors and you just you 4 00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:18.480 want to send an email maybe to a client or to a vendor. 5 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.600 And so instead of having all of everybody's personal email addresses on there, you can 6 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:29.920 have a branded domain email address that will just forward to that contractor's email 7 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:30.920 address. 8 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.420 So it just makes it a little easier for the team if they are working with multiple clients. 9 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:41.200 They don't have to have a separate email account or separate email account to go and make sure 10 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:42.200 they go check. 11 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.320 So it actually ends up helping you as a founder in the long run because you don't have to 12 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:51.520 your team will see more of their emails more often. 13 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.120 So that's how I would think about it. 14 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:56.720 So you're going to jump into your Google admin here. 15 00:00:56.720 --> 00:01:02.740 And if you need to find it, you can go to any Google site here and just go up to admin. 16 00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:06.200 And what you'll do is you'll click over to the side here. 17 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.880 And under directory, there is a groups feature to click on groups. 18 00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:16.520 And you can actually create a group and then assign an email address to that. 19 00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:18.460 So I'm going to create a group. 20 00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:22.400 Don't worry about the terminology that being a group, it's just a way to have an email 21 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.660 address that then forwards to something else. 22 00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:29.860 So we'll create this demo forward. 23 00:01:29.860 --> 00:01:32.720 And I'm going to just call this like demo. 24 00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:37.100 And then it's going to be at and I can choose which domain I want to use. 25 00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:42.420 And then here, you just want to add the list of email addresses that you want, where you 26 00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:43.940 want that to be forwarded. 27 00:01:43.940 --> 00:01:47.740 So for this case, I'll put my email address there. 28 00:01:47.740 --> 00:01:51.300 But you can do any email address you want. 29 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:56.060 This doesn't even have to be a Google email address if you want. 30 00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:01.720 And so the other thing you can do here is set this to be multiple people. 31 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:07.880 So you could have one thing called team at and then your domain, and then just have all 32 00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:09.160 your team members there. 33 00:02:09.160 --> 00:02:16.000 So that way you can just copy or just CC team at your domain, and then just the team will 34 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.000 get it. 35 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.160 Of course, if you want individual ones, you're welcome to do that as well. 36 00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:22.980 So we'll go ahead and hit next. 37 00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:26.180 And then what you want to do is just make sure this is set to public because we want 38 00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:30.500 anyone in the world to be able to hit this email address and it forwards essentially 39 00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:33.060 over to those people. 40 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:38.300 And then you can say who can join, you can basically let other people join this, you 41 00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:40.380 don't need to do that. 42 00:02:40.380 --> 00:02:46.620 Just say only invited there, and then allow members outside of your organization. 43 00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:47.620 So that's okay. 44 00:02:47.620 --> 00:02:53.000 You can set that on if you want to forward to say a Gmail or to a, sorry, like another 45 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.000 email provider. 46 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.860 So we had to go ahead and get create group. 47 00:02:57.860 --> 00:02:59.520 And that's pretty much it. 48 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.080 So you now have a new forward. 49 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.900 So when I go to team at Anovo, it's now going to forward to a number of different members 50 00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:08.900 as well. 51 00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:12.080 So and I can come back later and change these members if you want. 52 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.840 So that is very helpful. 53 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.420 This also works great if you are a solopreneur, and you want to have maybe some different 54 00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:25.300 email addresses to manage, you can have things like admin at your domain, and then forward 55 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:29.460 that just to your personal, I mean, to your personal domain email. 56 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:33.220 So a lot of cool things, you can kind of just have these setups so that you don't have to 57 00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:35.700 think about it too much. 58 00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:36.700 And this is great. 59 00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:40.180 And if anyone ever leaves the team, you can just check on click on one of these and delete 60 00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:41.180 that group. 61 00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:42.660 And so they stopped getting any kind of emails. 62 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:48.760 So it's a nice way to just sort of firewall everybody, so that if you do need to take 63 00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:54.320 someone out, it's easy to pull them out and they stop getting, you know, all their emails. 64 00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:57.000 The other cool thing about this is that it's totally free. 65 00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:03.840 So there's no payment, you don't have to pay for anything when you do a group. 66 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.040 Whereas if you go to the users, and you set up a bunch of users, you're going to pay on 67 00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:08.480 a per user basis. 68 00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:11.680 So hope this helps you have any questions, you can always reach out to me, thanks.
