How to create a Bookxy account, step by step

Creating an account takes a few minutes. The steps below are the whole process, in order, with the details that trip people up.

Step one: your email

Enter an email address you actually check. Payout notices, verification decisions and task messages go there. Avoid shared or work addresses you may lose access to later.

Step two: the one time code

We send a code to that address. The code is eight digits and the input on the screen has eight boxes, so if you received something shorter or longer, you are looking at an old email. Codes expire, so request a fresh one rather than reusing an old message. Check spam and promotions folders on the first attempt, then mark the sender as safe so later emails arrive in your inbox.

Step three: your legal name

Use the name printed on the identity document you will later upload. Nicknames, initials and shortened forms cause verification to fail, and fixing a mismatch takes longer than typing the full name correctly the first time.

Step four: your phone number

The phone field has a searchable country selector. Pick your country and the correct international dialling code is applied automatically, so you enter only the local part of your number. This matters because payout and support messages are matched against the country you selected.

Step five: the agreements

Before the account is created you confirm that you accept the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the Contributor Agreement. These describe what work you may accept, how your data is handled, and when payment is due. Read them once. They are short and written in plain language.

After sign up

You land on your dashboard. Nothing is locked yet, but withdrawals stay closed until identity verification is complete, and some tasks require qualifications you have not added yet. The dashboard shows what is missing and links straight to it, so the fastest route is simply to follow the prompts in the order they appear.
