How to Create a New Gmail Account (Quick Start Guide)

Gmail is one of the most popular email software platforms available today. It's a powerful tool that can simplify multiple email accounts, customize it to your needs, or even integrate with other Google software tools such as Docs and Calendar. Best of all, it's free of charge when you sign up for a new Google account. So in this quick video, I'll give you the basics of how to create your own Gmail account so you can get started quickly. Hi, welcome to Envato Top Plus. I'm Sergio Sala. Let's get going. All right, so we're going to start the Gmail homepage. And you have to click on the button that says Create an Account. It will open a new tab where you're going to create your Google account with Gmail. So you start by filling out the name. And then if your username is taken, you can always add numbers or periods. So we're going to try this. For the password, you need to create a strong password by mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. I'm going to make my password visible so you can see an example of a strong password. Then you're going to click Next. And then they will ask you for a phone number so they can verify that you're a real person. So I'm just going to add my number here and then click on Next. And then you will receive a message that will give you a Google verification code. Once you get it, you just type it here and then click on Verify. And after that, you can have the option to put a second email address. If you have a second one, it's also good for security measures because sometimes you can forget your password. We'll just go for the next step. You've got to add your birthday date, month, day, and year, then your gender. And after that, you just click on Next. And then you can use your phone number for some of the Google services. This is optional, too, so you can either skip it or just say, Yes, I'm in. So you click on it. Then you go through the privacy and terms. You've got to read carefully all the content that Google gives you about using your new Gmail account. And then you click on I Agree. And there you have it. You're going to have a welcome screen. You just click on Next. And you choose the layout that you want for your Gmail. You can choose the default, more comfortable. That has less visuals and compact that has non-visuals. I usually go with the default. You click OK. And you've got to have your Gmail service now. You can also finish all the setup progress. You can learn more about Gmail, even use it on your mobile. This will be your first email. And you can go right to Compose so you can start writing new emails right away with your new Gmail account. And as you've seen, creating a new Gmail account is easy to do. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for more Envato Talk+. I'm Sergio Sala. See you in the next one. Ciao.
