Create a Google Account
If you want to use Google for your online business success (and no there
is no contest when it comes to Google and business) and you are raring
to go, then the first thing you will need to concentrate on is to create
a Google account. This is the key to work in concert using (and be in
control) of all Google’s services; like YouTube, Google Drive, Google
Plus, Hangouts, Google My Business, Google My Domains, Google Now etc..
and at a glance it may not appear this way. This will unlock the
potential connection and accountability for Google to start learning
about you, your business and all of the semantic qualities in context
that go along with them.
Step 1.
Open any Google webpage. This includes Google, Gmail, Google Plus,
Drive etc.. You will be presented with either an information page about
the Google service, or a red Sign In button, a login page etc.
Regardless of what you see, you will either be logged in or you will be
prompted to Sign in or create an account.
Step 2.
Come up with a username. By default, your username will become your
new Gmail account name. If you type in a username that has already been
taken ( hey, you might already have registered it right? ), then you
will be prompted to login or reset the password.
This option is not available if you are specifically trying to sign up for Gmail. In this case, you must create a Gmail account.
If your username is not available, you will be given several related options, or you can try a different one.
Step 3.
Fill out the rest of the required information. You will need to enter
your first and last name, your birthday (for age verification), your
gender ( Male, Female or Other ), your phone number in case you lose
access to your account, and a verification email address. You also need
to enter which country you reside in.
The mobile phone number is recommended but not required.
Step 4
Complete the CAPTCHA. This is a verification method that ensures that
a real person is attempting to create a Google account. ( Sorry robots
not allowed )
If you can’t read it, click the refresh button next to the text field
to get a new one, or click the speaker button to have it read out loud
through your computer speakers.
Step 5.
Agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
Take the time to read the entire privacy policy so that you are aware
of what Google can and can’t do with your personal information. Check
