How to Create a New Gmail email Account

Step 1: Open up your internet browser and go to the Google home


page: http://www.google.com

Step 2: Click on Gmail at the top right corner of the page.

Step 3: You’ll now be in the ‘Sign in’ section. As you don’t have a Google
account yet, you need to create one. Click Create an account.
Step 4: To set up your new account, Google needs some information
about you – first, your first and last names. The ‘choose your username’
is the unique email address that you wish to use, which will be placed
before ‘@gmail.com’. Because it needs to be unique, Google may have to
check the availability of any name that you decide on to make sure that no
one already has it. Type an email name into the ‘choose your username’
box and then fill out the rest of your information. You will need to ensure that
the ‘I agree to the Google terms of service and Privacy Policy’ is ticked.
Then click next step.

Step 5: If the email name that you requested in is not available, you’ll get
a message saying that somebody already has that username and offering
you some alternatives. You can decide to accept one of the alternatives or
type in another name and check its availability once more. You will have to
complete some of the other boxes again. You may have to do this a few
times. Once you finalize your email address, it’s a good idea to make a note
of it so that you can refer to it until you remember it.
Step 6: You’ll need to come up with a password so that you can log in
securely to your account. Google may explain that you should try one with
at least 8 characters long to be secure. Use letters and numbers to make
the password more secure and difficult to guess. You’ll need to re-enter
your password to ensure that it’s you choosing it and not a hacker’s (ro)bot.
This is why it also asks you to insert two random words at the bottom of the
page – this is a CAPTCHA code. You can skip this step if you don’t want to
type in the CAPTCHA code but you will need to verify via a mobile phone if
you don’t.

Step 7: Once you have completed this page fully, clicking Next Step will
take you to the Create Profile Page. If you don’t wish to have a picture on
the web, click Next Step to complete setting up your email. If you do, Click
on Add Profile Photo and find a photo to add. Then click Next Step.
Step 8: You will now have set up your account. You can go straight to
your inbox and get started, or you can set up a photo to show as your profile
picture.
Click on Add a photo to upload a photo and select a photo.
