do you want to open a new gmail account?
As I see it, I believe that the rise of this free messaging service is due to its ease of use, its security and its advanced features. In addition, it is an essential part of the search engine’s services, that is, it complements perfectly with all its other products.
Why? Simple, because when we talk about creating a gmail, as I mentioned before, we also talk about having access, among others, to services as powerful as:
That’s why, thanks to this guide, you’ll learn how to open an email box completely free of charge, following the step-by-step instructions and screenshots that I offer you in this complete tutorial. Him as a complement, with explanatory video.
how to create a gmail account step by step?
Now, and without further delay, let’s move on to the tutorial where I will explain in great detail how to open an email owned by the search engine:
1) let’s go to google applications
To start, you must open your favorite web browser (it does not need to be chrome) and go to the main page of the search engine, that is, type in your address bar «google.com»
subsequently, we go to the upper right (as shown in the following image) and click on the nine point matrix that will be displayed downwards, showing, among others, the option of our interest: direct access to the gmail inbox or, if we don’t yet have an account, to the main page to create a new one.
You should know that you can also enter directly from the link located to the left of this matrix of nine points, under the name of «gmail«.
the truth is that google makes it easy for you and, so that there is no room for doubt or loss, it leaves you several options in plain sight so you can easily create your new gmail account.
2) we start to create your new account
In this step, you must click on “create an account”.
or you can also skip the previous point and write this address directly in your web browser: https://www.google.com/intl/es/gmail/about/
here you will see several options with which to start this process: two buttons with a blue background; one on the top right and one on the left, in the “above the fold” area, as a “call to action”.
with either of the two you can start the creation process.
also, if you scroll down a bit, before starting on the platform, you can also know more details about it.
here you are informed about:
- the facility to manage emails with its “intelligent” inbox.
- links to download the app for your mobile.
- installation of personalized themes, with backgrounds attractive and to your liking.
- interface that is comfortable and easy to use, even by people with little computer knowledge.
3) fill in the registration form
fill in all the data in the google registration form.
it will be very easy for you, since they are almost always typical in this type of tool: your name, surname, username you want to use or address of the new gmail email (which is the same), password, date of birth, telephone number, current email address (to recover it, in case of password loss), location, etc.
After filling in this information, click on “next” to continue.
as you can see, they give you the option to «I prefer to log in«, in case you already had an account, which is not the case. Apparently, it is intended for people who fall into this section by mistake, so in that case, we should log in and log in to gmail.
4) indicate your phone number
The phone number is required so that you can recover the google account, by sending a verification code to that number, in case of security problems with the password.
then, after indicating your phone number and a text sms will be generated with a security code.
The phone number and this code are verification tools, which you will be asked to avoid fraud and/or possible bots that pretend to automatically create gmail accounts.
5) security options
If the internet giant is characterized by something, it is by keeping the security measures of its clients and users unshakable.
Therefore, this next step offers you the possibility to indicate another email for recovery, in case you cannot enter your own google email for whatever reason.
if so, simply indicate this verification email and the instructions to re-login to gmail will appear there.
At the end of this step, click “next“.
6) use your phone number
In this intermediate step, just before gmail notifies you that your account is completely created, you will be able to know from this company that your data, specifically your phone number, is safe with them.
Here you will not have to do anything, just read these instructions and click on «yes, I accept» or, failing that, go to «more options» to further order the use they give to their personal data.
7) accept the terms of service
read the terms and privacy policies and click on the “yes, I accept” box in the box that you will see at the bottom.
As with any installation or creation of personal accounts, you should read them carefully before continuing.
Finally, click on “create gmail account” and, after a few seconds, you will have finished creating your new email.
8) welcome to your new account
now we have our new mail open, active and ready to use.
and to let you know, the platform is in charge of showing you a welcome message on the front page, followed by some quick and simple instructions on what you will find in your profile.
9) first welcome email
once all the help, welcome, etc. messages disappear from your screen, you can open the only email you currently have in your inbox.
This is an email as an introduction to the platform, where you are informed (for your peace of mind) that your data is safe with this gmail email tool.
Obviously, in this step you will not have to do anything, just carefully read the instructions that the platform gives you, in relation to your personal data and the use of email.

So, after having given a brief review of the good and bad of this service, now I would like to share with you some “tricks” that can help you benefit from this platform even more:
tricks for your new gmail account (extra tips)
well, and now that we have finished all the work of registering our new email, nothing better than knowing some interesting tricks and advanced configurations that can help us to get more out of it.
extra trick: generate multiple email addresses in the same account
sometimes we need to register in the same application, tool or platform to have different addresses in it… and it does not allow us to do it with the same name or email address in all of them.
To solve this inconvenience we can use a very simple trick, which will get you out of trouble in case you need an alternative email to register on multiple platforms or you need extra space in your google cloud storage module .
we can do it by taking advantage of a new feature of google mail, which gives us the possibility of having “infinity” of addresses that point to it, that is, to a single user.
let me explain: we take our address ⇒ myname@gmail.com and from it we create other emails by adding a “+” sign and we call them ⇒ myname+whatever@gmail.com, etc.
It doesn’t matter what extra text we put after our username and that “+” sign, the message will always arrive in the main email box.
Another option to have many addresses in one is by adding periods in different places of our email address.
The servers ignore these dots, so an address ⇒ “my.name@gmail.com” for your gmail email will be the same as putting “my name” all together.
