Signing up for Hulu is quick and easy, and you can even get a 7-day trial of their paid service (Hulu Plus) to boot.

Just a heads-up that some of the services we’re reviewing here have affiliate partnerships with us, so we may earn a commission if you visit one of them and buy something. You can read more about how this works at https://techboomers.com/how-to-support-techboomers.
Just have your credit card or PayPal account information ready, and follow the steps below.

- On the next page, you must enter your billing information. This is because Hulu will begin charging you its regular rate of $8 a month once your free trial is over. (Don’t worry; you can cancel before your free trial is over and not get charged. We’ll show you how in our How to Cancel Your Hulu Account tutorial.)
Choose whether you want to pay by Credit Card or PayPal; if you choose PayPal, you will have to enter your mailing code, and then log into your PayPal account to complete the transaction.

There you go! You’re all ready to start using Hulu!
