If you want to learn Salesforce, then you need to have a developer account to play with. Good news is that developer account is free of cost and its not a trial version, so it won’t expire in 30 days.
Steps to create your free  Salesforce developer account??
Step 1:  Go to https://developer.salesforce.com/

Step 2:  Click on the Sign Up on the top right hand side.
Step 3: Fill out the form.

Note: Please provide a valid email address because Salesforce will send the password link to setup your account via this email. Username should also be in a email format for eg: abc@yahoo.com.
Username doesn’t have to be a valid email address but it should be in a email format.
Step 4: Accept the terms and conditions and hit the Sign Me Up button.

Step 5: You will get a email from Salesforce  with a password link. Click the link to setup your password.
Step 6: Login to https://login.salesforce.com/ with your username and password.

 
 
So now you can login and explore the Salesforce platform. See you in the next post.
