Ask for an invitation

Pinned is working with a small group of travel creators while the product is in beta.

  1. Open the invitation request page.
  2. Enter your name, email, and Instagram handle.
  3. Submit the request. If it’s a fit, we’ll email your private invitation and next steps.

Add the profile details

A clear profile helps buyers trust that the guide came from you.

Add a profile photo step with the placeholder avatar and an upload image field, plus Back and Continue buttons.
  1. Upload a recognizable profile photo, or keep the placeholder and update it later.
  2. Write one or two bio lines that say what kind of recommendations you make.
  3. Use the private invitation instructions to access your account.
  4. Confirm that you land in creator onboarding.

Good bio format: city or theme first, then the type of traveler you help.

Done when

You can log in with the private account details you received. Your handle preview looks correct. Your display name and bio sound like your public creator identity.
