Open up your internet browser and pick an email program to use. The big ones are Gmail, Yahoo! and MSN Hotmail. Go to one of these websites and sign up for an email account. This usually involves picking a personal email address, choosing a password and entering some other information like your name or zip code.

Gather email addresses of people you know and put them in your contacts list. Each email program should have a “Contacts” section, so click on that and start typing in email addresses. Having all your contacts in your email account will make it easier to write emails later--you won’t have to manually type in the person’s email address every time!
