Complete Guide on How to Write Your First Article

Why Should I Write Articles?

Writing articles on FindGuide helps you connect with tourists even before the tour starts.

• Stand Out from the Crowd

Tourists don’t just choose excursions based on price — they care about the person behind them. A well-written article shows your personality, your vibe, and why exploring the city with you will be truly special.

• Attract New Tourists

Articles help you reach a wider audience, inspire curiosity, and spark interest from travelers who might not have found you otherwise.

• Share Your Love and Knowledge of the City

You know things no guidebook can tell — share them! Honest stories, real local insights, and creative routes are exactly what tourists are looking for.

• Build Your Personal Brand

By sharing your experience, you become more than just a guide — you become a true local expert. Over time, you can become the face of your city in the eyes of tourists.

Where Can I Write Them?

You can write them directly in the app! You'll see two options there: create a destination list or write an article. If you want to highlight some of your favorite locations and the tours you offer there, you can showcase them as a destination list for tourists. If you decide to write an article, follow these steps:

1.Open the ‘Articles’ tab in the top toolbar.

2.Tap the ‘Create an article’ button.

3.Add a title for your article.

4.Choose your country and city.

5.Add tags and the main picture.

6.Start writing your article.

7.Save it as a draft if you want to finish or edit it later.

8.Press ‘Publish’ when you’re ready to share it with others.

Important note: You won’t be able to edit your article after publishing it, so we recommend saving it as a draft until you're completely happy with it.
