# ✅ Create Your Account

Welcome to GetHookd! We're excited to help you discover high-performing ads and turn insights into growth. Creating your account takes just a few steps — here’s how to get started:
---

## 📩 Step 1: Verify Your Email

After signing up, you’ll land on a screen asking you to check your inbox.

> *“We’ve sent you a verification link to your email. Open your inbox and confirm to get started.”*

* Go to your inbox and find the verification email from GetHookd.

* If you don’t see the email, check your spam or promotions folder.
* Click “Resend verification email” from the same screen.

## 🧭 Step 2: Personalize Your Experience

To help tailor the platform to your needs, you’ll go through a short onboarding flow:

### 🏢 What is your phone number?
You’ll also be asked to enter your **phone number** for account verification.
---

### 💸 What is your average monthly revenue?

Options include:
* $0–30k
* $30k–50k
* $50k–100k
* $100k+
---

## 💳 Step 3: Choose Your Plan

## 🔄 Signed Up with Google? How to Add an Email & Password Login

If you originally signed up using Google, you can also set up an email and password login so you can sign in either way. Because Google sign-ups don’t have a password yet, you’ll create one through the password reset flow first:

1. Sign out, then go to the sign-in page and click **Forgot your password?**
2. Enter the email address on your account and check your inbox for the reset link.
3. Follow the link to choose a new password and confirm it.

Once your password is set, you can log in with your email and password anytime, or keep using Google — either one works.

Later on, if you’d like to change that password, you can do it any time from your account:

1. Go to **Account** (click your profile picture, then select **Account**).
2. Scroll to the **Change Password** section.
3. Enter your **Old Password**, then your **New Password**, and **Confirm New Password**.
4. Click **Update password** to save.

Your account data, subscription, and saved ads stay exactly the same — only your login method changes. 🙂

## 🎬 Step 4: Watch the Quick Walkthrough

Once you finish onboarding and land on Explore for the first time, a short walkthrough video opens automatically. It’s about six and a half minutes and gives you a tour of the platform before you start digging around on your own.

* Watch it through, or close it and get straight to exploring — either is fine.
* It only opens by itself once. We remember that you’ve seen it, so it won’t interrupt you again.
* Want to watch it later? Open the **Get Started** card and play it again any time.
