Becoming a member on Webshots is easy. Simply provide a few basic details—your name, location, and email address. After a quick email verification, your membership is active.
Once you’re a member, you can either explore the free features or upgrade to a Premium account by paying a subscription fee.
Throughout this series of tutorials, we’ll explore both Free and Premium Webshots accounts. For now, let’s keep it simple—first things first, here’s how you can sign up as a free member and get started without spending a dime.
- Visit the Webshots site and click on the Sign up for free link, on the top right corner of the site, as shown in Figure 1, below.
Figure 1: The Webshots site- Doing so brings up a login form, as shown in Figure 2, below. Fill all the fields, and make sure you enter a valid email address. Next, click the Join Now button within the Free section. You can also click the Join Now button within the Premium section—but that’s something we will explore in a later post.
Figure 2: Join now- If the details you filled in the form are valid, you’ll see a modified version of the Webshots site. You can upload your pictures now, and that is something that we will explain in more detail in a later post.
- Do check your mail inbox for a confirmation link. Follow the instructions within the email. Also remember to save your user name and password in a safe place.
In the next blog post, we’ll explore what the free account allows you to do, and we’ll also briefly look at the Premium account.
