Step 3

Create the guide shell

Add the title, city, price, summary, and cover image before adding detailed places.

OutcomeYou have an unpublished draft guide ready for places and notes.
Pinned Guides page with the Add guide form open and fields filled for a Tokyo guide.
Actual Pinned product screen for create guide.

Open the Guides page

The Guides page is your shelf of paid and free products.

Guides page with three published guide cards showing Ready status, prices, and the Add guide card.
  1. Open Guides from the creator console sidebar.
  2. Click Add guide.
  3. Keep the guide unpublished while you are still editing.

Fill in the guide positioning

Specific guide positioning sells better than a broad city list.

Add guide form filled in with the title Tokyo Night Bites, city Tokyo, a 12 dollar price, and a one-line summary.
  1. Use a title that says exactly what the buyer gets, such as Tokyo Night Bites or Seoul Coffee Crawl.
  2. Enter the city buyers will recognize.
  3. Set an impulse-friendly first price, commonly $5 to $15 for focused beta guides.
  4. Write a short summary that names the audience and use case.

Add a cover image

The cover photo is the first visual proof of taste on the public page.

Add guide form with a food cover photo selected, showing the drag-to-reposition crop preview above the Create guide button.
  1. Upload a clear city, food, cafe, hotel, nightlife, or shopping image that matches the guide.
  2. Avoid dark, blurry, or generic travel stock.
  3. Click Create guide.
  4. Open the draft editor after the guide is created.

Use a real image buyers can inspect, not a decorative background.

Done when

The guide title is specific enough to share in one sentence. The summary explains who the guide is for. The price and cover image are set before publishing.
