Creator Guide

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.

The creator dashboard

Everything happens at creator.quokkaguide.com. After signing in you'll find:

  • My Library — create, edit, and manage your tours (drafts and published).
  • Performance Analytics — plays, completion, and engagement for each tour.
  • Earnings & Payouts — your revenue, balance, and withdrawals.
  • Plans — your creator plan and what it unlocks.
  • Public Profile — your creator page that travellers see.
  • Notifications — updates on reviews, earnings, and tour status.

How publishing works (the short version)

  1. Plan your route and stops. → Planning Your Route & Stops
  2. Generate the tour with AI. → Generating Your Tour with AI
  3. Refine the script and tour details. → Editing & Refining Your Tour
  4. Choose a voice and theme. → Choosing Voice & Theme
  5. Test it in the app. → Testing Before You Publish
  6. Publish & price it for sale. → Publishing & Pricing Your Tour
  7. Promote it and get paid. → Promoting Your Tour · Earnings & Payouts

Most first tours take an afternoon to draft and a walk or drive to test.

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.
