Thank you, Pedro, for your question! The answer to this question depends on your goal. For the purpose of this video, we will assume you are looking to build communication with your customers or clients. With that, using Gmail does not operate on a level that will sustain a properly done email campaign. Gmail is great for communicating with colleagues, or even making small lists with friends or family to communicate with a small group but to mass communicate with your audience you will want to look at an email marketing software. The purpose of email marketing software is to manage a list of your audience that has opted-in or signed up to be on your mailing list; they want to hear from you. This assures you are not spamming random people but in fact, have viewers that have raised their hand and opened their email inbox to receive your messages. Also, with an email marketing software you can enable a double opt-in feature. An outstanding and professional way to build your email list.
