Free email accounts sound great when you're starting a business on a tight budget — but are they really free?

In this episode, Charly dives deep into the hidden costs of using free Gmail, Outlook, or similar accounts for your business. From credibility issues to marketing limitations and serious security risks, you’ll discover why that "free" email might be the most expensive choice you can make.

📌 Charly breaks down:

✅ Why using @gmail.com can make you look unprofessional

✅ The hidden costs: lost emails, lack of support, and spam vulnerability

✅ Why free accounts don’t work with email marketing platforms

✅ What you gain with paid email: branding, security, control, and support

🔗 Tip: Start small with lower-cost business email options — and scale as needed.

🛡️ Bottom line? Your email is often your first impression. Make it count.
