Start by heading over to Scribd.
com and signing up for a new
account. Alternatively, if you already have an account with Scribd,
you can use your existing account by logging in. Scribd supports
accounts with both Facebook and Google sign-ins, so starting a
new account is as easy as clicking a button and linking your
account.
Once you’ve signed in, find the document you want to download
using the search bar and click on it when it appears in the results.
This will redirect you to a page designed to help you set up your
Scribd subscription, complete with a 30-day free trial. Doing this
requires entering payment information, however, which we want
to avoid. So instead, scroll down until you see Start
Uploading near the bottom of this page.
Click this text and then the Upload button on the popup that
appears. This allows you to upload a document in exchange for
another document on Scribd for free. Unless you have a
document of value you’d like to contribute to the site, you can
create any kind of document you want. If you have a word
processor installed on your computer, like Word or Apple Pages,
you can use that to create a short, meaningless document.
Alternatively, you can use Google Docs to create a free document
on your computer and download it to your device.
The document can contain anything, including straight gibberish;
we recommend using a Lorem Ipsum generator if you’re having
trouble figuring out what to write. Just make sure that it has at
least a page or two of text or Scribd won’t accept it as an
upload. After you’ve created this document, go back to the Scribd
webpage and click Select Documents To Upload. When your
document is uploaded, provide a title for the new file and
hit Submit.
