## Creating a Channel

* Go to [this page](https://payswap.org/create-channel)
* Verify Email Address: Go to [this page](https://www.payswap.org/ssi/proposal/createAutomaticData), enter your email address in the corresponding field and validate the form. This will send a verification code to your email inbox; copy that code and paste it into the **code** field and validate the form. This will create and share your email data with PaySwap which will enable channels that you subscribe to, to download your email address
* Back to the Channel Setup page, the **I have successfully verified my email address** checkbox, should be checked now. If it's not, reload the page and click **Next Step** to go to the next step
* For this step, you need to create a profile, click to go to the profile creation page and click on the **Create Profile** button. Fill in the form with a unique username and the profile id of the user that referred you to the platform (just leave it as 0 if nobody referred you). Validate the form
