Can I Make a Google Scholar Account If I Don't Yet Have Publications?

I need to make a Google Scholar Account to be linked in a paper, but I don't yet have a publication. Is this possible? Thank you!

There is a work around: Register for an Orcid ID. Sign Up for Academia or ResearchGate and submit a PrePrint with your Orcid in the document. Google’s spiders should track it, then you can claim your scholar account when you search your name. Cheers!
