Frequently Asked Questions

How much revenue does the Tour Creator earn?


All tours are sold to Tour Takers at $10 each.  This revenue will be split between the Tour Creator, and support of the Built Story platform.  Built Story absorbs all of the fees associated with self-guided touring, so that this is not your headache! Tour Creators receive  $4.82 per tour sold on our platform.

What does Built Story do to help promote your tours?


We can consult with you, to best market your published tours!  We might: create and distribute press releases; create social media advertising; commit to event calendars around town; distribute email  announcements to our newsletter list, etc.

Can I create a tour in a language other than English?


Yes! You can enter text, and upload video and audio in any language of your choice.

When building your tour, there is a drop down menu of languages that you can use to categorize your tour.  If your desired language is not present, we recommend stating the language in your description of tour, and in your tour highlights.  This way, Tour Takers can quickly spot tours posted in their preferred language.

How are tours created?


Building tours is easy with Built Story! No programming necessary. We built the tech, so that you can focus on the tour content itself. 

The first step in creating a tour is to register as a Tour Creator.  Start, or log in, here.

Can I edit a tour after it is published?


Yes, absolutely! Just log back in to your Tour Creator dashboard. There, you’ll see that you can edit all of your tours.  You can edit everything, with only one exception. Once you have declared that your tour is walking / bicycle / or driving – you cannot change that.  Everything else can be edited once published.

Where can I create tours?


Built Story uses Stripe.com for all payment processing.  You can build tours in countries where Stripe.com, our payment processor, has reciprocal agreements.  Once Stripe is supported in your country, you’ll be able to accept payments from customers who live anywhere in the world.

The process of creating tours on Built Story is simple and straightforward. For each stop I just add the location, a short description and a photo! I love being able to share my favorite spots: whether it’s hidden gems in my hometown of San Jose or some awesome foodie finds in Ann Arbor.”
