Ever wonder how to set up your email to look like mine, where I have my website instead og gmail? Up until 2 weeks ago I still used [email protected]. My cards even still have it on them. But then, Pete from www.drinktown.com walked me through the process. It literally takes 3 minutes (unless you forgot your host password, then a bit longer).

Gmail and Blue Host

Gmail is such a great platform for email, I wanted to use it. I currently use it for my email from www.mentalwellnesscounseling.com ([email protected]) and also this website.

Ever wonder how people set up [email protected]? As I have said before, I don’t know code, so I like when things are streamlined and easy. More importantly, I want it to work, the first time.

I use gmail, even though it comes from [email protected], if you want to set up  it is super easy. Since I use Blue Host, that is what I am using for my example :

1. Go to Blue Host (or whatever host you use), log in
2. Click on cPanel>Email Accounts
3. Complete the email that you want to create (ex. [email protected]) > create account
4. Go back to cPanel> Forwarders>Add Forwarder
5. Under “Address to Forward” type in the one you just created (ex. [email protected]) Leave Blue Host open. Fill in the “forward to email [email protected]  
6. Log into your gmail account. Click on the settings thing in gmail, it’s usually in the upper right hand corner. Settings>Accounts>Add another email address you own
7. Type in the email (ex. [email protected])
8. It will then send an email to Blue Host
9. Go to the Blue Host cPanel>Email Accounts>More (button next to your email address)>Access Webmail>Enter password set up in step #3
10. Open email from Gmail
11. In Gmail, decide if you want the new email to be the default or if you want to reply based on who the email was sent to (ex. [email protected] vs. [email protected])
Also, you can have different signatures based on the different emails, which is just sweet.
That’s it! If you don’t use Blue Host yet, please consider it. I really like it. (Full disclosure: I am an affiliate, but I would recommend it even if i was not.)

Slow Down School was an amazing experience last year and I'm excited to return! To give you a clue of the impact in the past year I've doubled the monthly gross income of my group practice. Also, this past year I started a whole new business helping therapists with their SEO after coming up with the idea at Slow Down School last year.

If you had told me at KIC 2019, after four years of mediocre private practice success (at best) that in January 2021, I’d be adding my third clinician and moving into a full three-office suite for my business - with a full client load for myself, and clinicians filling faster than I ever did alone, all while only working three days a week and still loving life - I would have hoped you were right, but assumed you were not.
