I have no idea how to make a first EOS account, as I had mine before the migration from ETH. When I wanted to make one for Otterworks I just paid for it out of my initial one. I can do the same for you if you want for 3 USD, but there may be a reasonable free option out there I don't know about. (You would end up with about 1/4 of that staked on the account.)
