Step 1: Accessing Google Contacts
The first step is to access your Google Contacts. To do this, open a web browser and go to https://contacts.google.com. Sign in to your Gmail account if you haven’t already.
Step 2: Creating a New Label
In Google Contacts, click on the “Labels” option located on the left sidebar. Then, click on the “Create label” button. Give your label a meaningful name related to your mailing list and click “Save”.
Step 3: Adding Contacts to the Mailing List
Now it’s time to add contacts to your newly created mailing list. You can do this by selecting the contacts from your existing list or by adding new contacts manually.
- To select contacts from your existing list, check the box next to each contact you want to include. You can easily select multiple contacts by holding down the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) key while clicking.
- If you want to add new contacts manually, click on the “Create contact” button and fill in the required information, such as name and email address.
Once you have selected or added the desired contacts, click on the “Manage labels” button located above the contact list. Select the label you created earlier from the drop-down menu and click “Apply”. Your contacts will now be added to the mailing list.
Step 4: Sending Emails to the Mailing List
Now that your mailing list is ready, you can easily send emails to all the contacts in the list.
- Open Gmail in your web browser and click on the “Compose” button to create a new email.
- In the “To” field, type the name of the label you created in square brackets, e.g., [YourLabel]. Gmail will automatically suggest the label based on what you type. Click on the label suggestion to add it to the recipient list.
- Compose your email as usual and click “Send” when you’re ready to send it to your mailing list.
That’s it! You have successfully created a Gmail mailing list and learned how to send emails to all the contacts in your list. Managing and communicating with groups of people is now much more efficient and organized.
Remember, always ensure that your mailing list complies with applicable laws and regulations, such as obtaining consent from contacts to receive emails.
Now you can take advantage of Gmail’s powerful features to stay connected and engaged with your contacts effortlessly!
