This post is to guide you on how to create your own Salesforce practice environment, and do basic training.

 

Step 1- Salesforce Developer Account

First you need to create your own Salesforce Developer account, where you can practice.

PS: make sure to use your personal email here as your Username, since your business email will probably be linked to your company’s salesforce.
