Bill approached Dipper directly. At least, as directly as you can when you don't have a physical form and can only speak to people in their dreams. He offered to give Dipper the password to Fiddleford's old laptop if Dipper gave him a puppet. Dipper thought Bill meant one of the sock puppets Mabel had been making for an elaborate hand-puppet play, but it was a trick: the puppet he meant was Dipper's body. Bill possessed him only for an afternoon, but he was -- careless, with Dipper's physical well-being.
