If you're working with clients for your online business, then your email should be impeccable! I have had many occasions where I actually lost prospects and existing clients, because their email didn't reach me, or my email was caught in their spam filters, or it didn't send out completely! It was horrifying and it's costing me loads of money. So this time I switched to another company. In this video I'm going to show you exactly how to get Microsoft 365, how to connect your own email address from your own domain name to Microsoft, and I'm going to show you how your WordPress website can send all the emails from contact forms and notifications, all through Microsoft 365, completely free. Follow this to the end and all will be good. Let's start right now!
Let's first get Microsoft 365. If you already have it, you can skip this step, if you don't and you want to help me out, go to wp.discount/365/ or click on this link, it's also there. You go to the comment section in here. We are at the Microsoft 365 business plans. What do we have in here? The most important thing is the business class email. Now this is what we actually want. But you also get one terabyte of cloud storage per user with OneDrive. Excellent! You can use Microsoft Teams, but you can also use the web apps; Word, Excel PowerPoint, Outlook. This is actually a really good deal if you have your own business, excellent. Also this comes with a free month. And it will only start billing your credit card after the first month. So if you don't like it, we've set it all up and you don't like it when using it a month, you can cancel it that's okay. We're going to press on 'Buy now' and then we're going to set up our subscription. You can choose between yearly billed or monthly billed. The price is exactly the same, so you just choose whatever you want. We press 'Next' here we need to fill in our email address which we want to use with Microsoft 365, with your own domain name. So in my case it's going to be the@wpressdoc.com because I want to route this email address through Microsoft 365. Once you have filled it in we press on 'Next'. Then we're going to press 'Setup account'. Then we're going to fill in our details. Once we have filled it all out we press on 'Next'. Now and they're going to do a security check to see if we are really who we say we are. You get a text message from "MCCommerce" and we're going to fill in the verification code. And we're going to press 'Verify'. Now we can choose your username, in my case wpressdoc.com and the username will be the@. Press 'Save' then we're going to create a really strong password, make sure to save that password somewhere safe because it's very important. Press 'Next'. Then you're going to choose how many people you want to use with Microsoft 365. We're going to use one. We're going to press 'Add payment method'. You can use a credit card or direct debit, what you want. Fill it all in and then we're going to press over here on 'Save'. Then we're going to review and place our order just checking everything's all right, the quantity, your name, your address, your credit card... and the estimated tax and your total payment. When everything's all right we're going to press 'Place order'. Save your username and your password on someplace safe. Then we're going to press on 'Start using'. And then we have to sign in of course, so sign in with the email address we've just created. Press 'Next'. Then we're going to enter in our very strong password. And press 'Sign in'. If you on your own PC you can press 'Yes', if you're on a public computer don't press yes. Well done, we have logged into Microsoft 365 Admin Center...

Hi guys! Here is the link: wp.discount/365/ I hope this tutorial will help you configure your WordPress website with Microsoft 365. Let me know if you have any questions!
Great tutorial,Uncover more updated stuff like this, so we shift to advance level.
Stay Blessed
Hi there! Thanks! I will keep making these videos 😀 I’m glad you like it! Have a great day and stay safe 😇
That was a great tutorial.
I just wanted to ask about the Cost:
It looks like it's 6$ per month - Does this cost cover the emails you're sending out?
Or is there another cost or any limitations on the number of emails you can send per month?
It would be great if you could do a tutorial about Email Marketing using this service
Hi James! Thanks for the questions. No Microsoft 356 is not suitable for email marketing. It has a limit of 500 recipients per email, per day. But that’s all inside of the $6 yes.
Email marketing? I have that one covered in the video “Best Mailchimp Alternative” 😀👍🏻
There's 1 thing you didn't answer me yet from your video about Solid Security.
What Do you use and like to use to protect your website from Spam in your Comments area? Since you said you don't like Jetpack.
Would love it if you already have a toturial ready - Please let me know.@@WPressDoctor
Hi Matt! This is Nazir, Product Marketing Lead for FluentSMTP. Great work! Your videos are really helpful for FluentSMTP users! I saw you made two amazing videos for FluentSMTP. Just wondering if you'd be interested in a conversation?
HI Nazir! Sure thing, just pop me a email at the@wpressdoctor.com and we can talk . Have a great day and take care! Greetings
@@WPressDoctor Great! I already went ahead and submitted my query through your website's business inquiry form (wpressdoctor.com/business-inquiry/). Hopefully that'll do? Looking forward to your response. :)
Excellent!
That is looking good, does it run "forever" or do you need to change the secret twice a year?
i set my secret to 2 years just in case
Hi Patrick! Thanks for the question. It should keep working, but indeed, just to be safe put it to 2 years 😁. Have a great day and stay safe!
I followed exactly like you did but I am getting forbidden when I send a test email. Does anyone know what I could do to resolve this?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. That’s really hard to debug from here. You have to make sure that every single setting is OK, and make sure that the email address you are using is the same as the domain where WordPress is installed 😀
@@WPressDoctor Yep everything is 100% exactly how you did it. It seems alot of people are getting forbidden erorrs so is there something else we should be doing on microsofts end
Hmmm… that’s odd. Maybe they changed a thing? You have full access and privilege to the account you are trying to mail through?
