You should add "via Myetherwallet" to the title otherwise you can add other wallets that can provide an ethereum address. Add also some precautions on what newbies must do to keep their private keys safe.

Still great job!

Not only myetherwallet can make you wallet for ethereum you can also make wallet from  coinomi wallet or metamask and you can save your seed phrase and backup your own private key.

I think if you can add coinomi or metamask wallet in your tutorial it can be more useful and helpful to newbies.

The simple way to create  ethereum wallet is on myetherwallet its the best its more secure and its easy to use, Its the best one.

It's definitely not the best one(in terms of security, at least). Always take note that if you're holding huge amounts of ETH and tokens, maybe worth $300 and above, then consider buying a hardware wallet like the Trezor[1] or the Ledger Nano S[2].

I agree but its still very useful for me, looking forward to OP to add some trusted ethereum wallet in the future if he/she wants to.

I would like to add also that using json file to access a wallet is not recommend and safe way, it is better for newbies to get a ledger nano s and connect mew with it.
