Guide How-To

A practical walkthrough for approved guides who want to sell one-time advice or recurring reports.

Support

1. Apply To Sell

Create a buyer account first, then use Apply To Sell from the site when you are ready to request guide access. Admin reviews guide applications before seller tools appear.

2. Complete Your Guide Profile

Add your first and last name, profile photo, home waters, bio, experience, and contact-ready profile details. Buyers trust complete guide profiles more than blank ones.

3. Accept The Seller Agreement

Once approved, you must accept the current Seller Agreement before posting paid advice, creating subscriptions, or posting subscriber reports. The acceptance is stored for legal and business records.

4. Connect Stripe Payouts

Complete Stripe Connect onboarding so the system knows where guide payouts should go. The dashboard shows blockers if payout onboarding is incomplete.

5. Post One-Time Advice

Use Post Advice for a single paid report. Include a strong title, lake, species, season, technique, applicable dates, preview, full advice, cover photo, video when useful, and private map pins.

6. Create A Subscription Portfolio

Use a subscription portfolio for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly recurring reports. Set the customer billing schedule separately from how often you post reports. Pricing or billing changes may need admin review and subscriber notice.

7. Post Subscriber Reports

Open your subscription product and add dated reports. Report dates matter because paid monthly access is based on the month the report belongs to. Add video to individual subscription reports when needed.

8. Share Public Previews

Use the Share This Post tools on your own advice and subscription pages to copy the public preview link or share it to social media. Do not share private paid content outside the platform.

9. Manage Buyers And Payouts

Use your dashboard to watch purchases, subscribers, buyer messages, saved-interest signals, payout status, and profile readiness. Respond quickly to buyer messages and admin requests.
