<p>Go to blockchain.info.  Click on wallet at the top, then click on Create wallet.   Fill out and then it will send an email that you will need to confirm.  After you login, you'll need to complete security information but it's really self explanatory at this point. </p>

People often fund BTC purchases into a personal wallet via Bitcoin ATMs or via bank transfers of fiat to an exchange, transacting there, and withdrawing into the wallet.
