Steps

1

Create a Profile

There are only a few fields to create your account and they are mostly optional.

This requires you signing into the platform. We use single sign on with Apple and Google. Feel free to email our support if you don't have an account on either platform. This is a completely safe sign on, we get information on only what you approve and nothing more. Your default profile picture will be the one you had shared with the signed on platform. You can update this photo as it will be public on our site as well. Please use an authentic real photo as we would like you to build confidence in the explorer that will seek and follow your advice.

Fill in the information about the experience you will guide others through.

Give your experience a name! Make the name unique and clear, so explorers will understand what you're offering. This field is used in search.

Then describe your experience in 1-2 paragraphs. Tell explorers what’s so unique and special about your experience. We also use this field for search, and matching your guide with explorers' prompts.

In every step we will give you the option to provide a link. If you have a page or a profile on social media that is dedicated to this activity this would be a good place to link.

We will then ask you to add a cover photo for your guide. Think of this photo as the thumbnail for your guide.

Then fill out the filters for your guide such as group dynamics (solo, family, team, etc) or any age requirements. Leave any un-required field empty.

Add steps to your guide.

Title each step in a way that the outline of their skill building or experience is clear to the user at the full view of your guide.

We strongly encourage using separate photos for each step as you would like the explorers recall upcoming steps and have also a visual map of their experience on their mind. Make sure you own the rights to the photos, you can use the photos you took or use License Free or Creative Commons License pictures and photos. Please email us if you would need our help at any point during this creation process.

Describe this step. Tell explorers what they are going to be doing (if this is skill building step please add motivation), when, where, and so on. Tell what’s so unique and special about your experience. We use this information in search as well.

Add specifics about this step, like location, or an approximate budget, duration and ideal dates if any applies.

We will also ask you if this is a step that is about building a skill and requires repetition or not. In that case we will ask you about two durations: the time it takes for each instance of the step (e.g. 10 minutes), and the total time the explorer should perform this step to build a skill or habit (e.g. 30 days). We will also ask you about the required frequency whether it is daily, weekly, monthly.

Explorers will have the ability to update and customize these suggestions once they save your guide to their profile. Their updates will not reflect to your guide but will be reflected on their copy.
