 But it's great. Also if you actually have QuickBooks online But it's your business file and you want to practice with something well Then you don't want to practice in your actual company file You want to use this file typically to do that? But remember if you're logged into your business file You won't be able to do that in the same browser often times Because into it will try to log into a different account to get into this test drive So you can use an incognito window or a different browser. Alright, so this is what we'll use in the first half of the course Now when you want to purchase the software after you do a test drive or after you take the course or or whatever And you're convinced that this is right for your business Then you might want to look into obviously the best price that you can get you might want to ask your accountant or a quick book advisor to see if there are any discounts available and and and then purchase the software in that fashion Looking obviously for the best price on the purchase in other words What we're trying to do here is find places purely for practice Sandboxes that we can use for practice either a sandbox that has nothing in it Which which might be good with the student files of the 30-day trial so we can practice setting up the software From scratch or sandboxes that already do have stuff in it such as the test drive So that we can practice navigating the software with stuff that's already in it Let's do a quick look on how to find some of these things from a browser So let's first. I'll go to into it. So this is into it. It's into it comm This is the owner of QuickBooks page So this is the first place I would typically go because QuickBooks has a lot of different web pages within it So I always start from the source here. I Ntu it comm into it comm then I'm going to go to the QuickBooks software into it owns difference Different softwares Mailchimp turbo tax and so on we'll go into the QuickBooks website When you go into the QuickBooks website, this is the change. This is the page that they change most often It's typically geared towards QuickBooks online, but I usually go all the way to the bottom Where they have this products area the products area has been here for a long time And then I can go into here and I want to go specifically to the QuickBooks online Page and in the QuickBooks online page You will see that you this is where that toggle happens now again if I tip that toggle It's scary because the prices jump up. So you got to remember if I'm hitting that toggle I'm trying not to be locked in to anything past the 30 days I'm trying to practice for the 30 days is how is is so you want to make sure that you you know what you're doing When you're when you're taking the practice file and how you're going to implement it and whatnot and you know So read the terms of service and all that kind of stuff. So in any case That is that one now if I go into the the test drive That's different than the test drive remember if I scroll down here I think there's a test drive when here it is so it says take a test drive So I believe this is going to give you actually the the test drive company file Which is different now I think the easiest way to get into here because sometimes they change this page They haven't changed this page for a while But you know they could change this page So if they were change anything then you might just type into your favorite browser QuickBooks online test drive and this is what we'll do a lot going forward You might be a little bit less comfortable doing that because now we're got to go into a Random search But if you can see here that it's from into it calm Into it is the owner of QuickBooks. So you feel pretty secure that you're in a solid place So I would look through here and say okay Where's the test drive is it coming from into it QuickBooks into it calm? Okay, and then I'll go into that and Then here's gonna be our test drive. We're gonna be using the United States Test drive here. I'm not gonna be using the advanced but just the normal it'll usually ask if you're a robot and we're gonna say We're gonna say that we are not a robot and Then we'll go into the sample company file which already has data in it So you can see how that's gonna be important because now I can navigate around here So this is gonna be the tool that we'll use for the first half of the course Second half of the course will we'll go into using See if we can use an actual company file Which possibly you can leverage the free 30-day trial for and then if you want to look into the student file You can look into I would just type into your browser quick books online free student Something like that and it gives me the free 30-day trial Register and activate QuickBooks online student trial. So you might be able to find Something like that here and then read through Their process register for the for the into it education program verify your eligibility And you can activate your student trial so get started. So this might give you access to the software Possibly for a longer period than the 30 days. So if you're at any kind of accredited institution Then you might look into that in more detail and that might be a really nice tool
