Create distribution list in Gmail

Distribution list or mailing list is quite useful when you want to send email to multiple recipients at the same time. You can create a distribution list using Google Contacts and this can be used in Gmail for sending emails.

• Access Google Contacts. - contacts.google.com
• Click "Create Label" option available on the left hand sidebar.

Create labels in Gmail

• Provide a name to the label. I am planning create a mailing list for all freelancers.

• Go to contacts and select the contacts which you want to add it as part of "Freelancers" label

Once all the contacts have been added, navigate to Gmail compose window . Now the newly added distribution list / label will be available..
