Tips for creators
How to record a great walk.
🎙️
Recording
Find a quiet room. Use your phone — no special equipment needed. Hold it about 15cm from your mouth. Record one section at a time, not the whole walk in one take. If you make a mistake, just pause and start the sentence again.
✍️
Scripting
Write like you're talking to a friend, not reading a textbook. Each section should be 2-4 minutes when read aloud — that's roughly 300-500 words. Include things people can actually see: "look up", "notice the door on your left", "turn around." Make them feel present.
🚶
Walk structure
Plan 3 to 5 stops, each with 2-3 audio sections. Between stops, the listener walks in silence — the player pauses and shows them where to go next. They press play when they arrive. This means you don't need to fill walking time with audio. Focus on what happens at each stop.
💡
What makes a great walk
Tell stories, not facts. "This building was constructed in 1924" is a fact. "The money to build this came from ordinary people who donated their savings after 500 years of occupation" is a story. Give people something they'll remember and retell.
No. A quiet room and your phone are enough to start. We can help clean up the audio if needed.
Do I need to write a script?
It helps, but it's not required. Some creators write every word. Others record naturally and we help shape it afterwards.
How long should a walk be?
Most walks are 60 to 90 minutes with 3 to 5 stops. But a 30-minute food tour works just as well as a 2-hour history deep dive.
Can I publish a walk for a city I don't live in?
Absolutely. If you know a city well enough to walk someone through it, you can publish it.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. Publishing is free. We only make money when you make money.
How much can I earn?
That depends on how many people listen. We're early-stage and honest about it — this isn't a get-rich-quick pitch. But your walk stays published and earning for as long as people listen.
Is this platform new?
Yes. You'd be one of the first creators. That means more personal support, more influence over how things are built, and first-mover advantage in your city.
Do I need to record audio for the walking parts between stops?
No. Our player automatically pauses between stops and tells the listener where to walk next. They press play when they arrive. You only need to record audio for what happens at each stop — the interesting part.
