Getting Started as a Creator

Learn how QuokkaGuide works for creators — the dashboard, publishing workflow, and what makes a tour worth buying.

Welcome to QuokkaGuide. As a creator you can turn your local knowledge into a self-guided GPS audio tour that plays automatically as travellers explore — and earn a share of every sale. This guide walks you through the big picture so the rest of the help centre makes sense.

What makes QuokkaGuide different

You don’t need a microphone, a recording studio, or a great speaking voice. Our AI writes and narrates your tour for you — you bring the local expertise, the route, and the editorial eye. Your job is to shape and approve great storytelling, not to record it.

A finished QuokkaGuide tour gives travellers:

Hands-free GPS autoplay
The right audio starts automatically as they reach each point along the route.
Offline use
They download the whole tour and it works with no signal.
Local, human-feeling narration
In a voice and style you choose.

What makes a tour worth buying

QuokkaGuide tours sell on storytelling and local feel, not facts. Aim for:

  • A clear theme — history, scenic, adventure, food, culture.
  • Stops that flow as a journey, not a checklist.
  • Tips only a local would know.
