I used a web app called Firefox Poster which allows me to construct POST GET requests.

You can find Poster here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2691/

Start up Poster and enter the following
URL -> http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people

In the Content to Send Section
Content Type -> application/json

In the Content Box enter your user info in JSON format below. (everything below including the curly brackets)

{
   "userName" : "myNewUser",
   "firstName" : "John",
   "lastName" : "Doe",
   "organisation" : "Example Company Inc",
   "email" : "Johndoe@example.com"
}

Good Luck!
