FREE experiences on eXpertLocal now available!

In addition to paid experiences and tours on eXpertLocal, we’ve broadened our horizons into including free things to do. That’s right- you can now add and participate in experiences that are completely free!
Here’s how it works: 
For Hosts 
 
Whether you’re a community group looking to promote your already existing events or an individual who just wants to use experiences as a way of meeting like minded people, eXpertLocal has you covered.
What you need to do is-
If you haven’t joined eXpertLocal yet, you need to register via setting up a login and password (or use your Facebook details to login).
Once you’ve registered, simply go to the CREATE AN EXPERIENCE section.
Follow the fields. They are pretty self explanatory, but if you need extra help, check out our tips on how to write a tail kicking experience.
Once you’ve entered the details, click the SAVE & CONTINUE TO STEP 2 button at the base of the screen.
The next page you land on is where you set the price.

The very first option you will see asks you about currency, PRICE OR FREE and the transaction fee.
Simply grab the blue button with the white up and down arrows and slide the blue PRICE OR FREE to free.

From here, the system knows you want to hold a free experience and you can just fill in the remaining fields as normal.
Follow down the page, filling in the required fields and SAVE & CONTINUE TO STEP 3.
Step 3 is where you can add photos and videos of you experience.
Step 4 allows you to choose the date, time and duration- and where you save as a draft.
Once you’ve saved your draft and you’re happy with your experience, submit it for approval and you are on your way!
 
Free experiences are a great way for you to test the water on some of your experience ideas, to add things for not for profits and community organised events or simply use eXpertLocal to enjoy fun times with people who have like minded interests without involving money.
 
For participants: 
 
Keep an eye out for the orange ribbon that says FREE EXPERIENCE- TRY IT NOW! with FreePP (that’s free per person) listed as the price.

When you pop over to the booking section, MAKE A BOOKING, follow the prompts through the date and times and select how many places you’d like. Don’t be thrown off by the word “purchase” for the tickets. That’s just our standard word for booking a ticket.
 
We will also be introducing a feature where you can trial experiences for the first time or on specific dates for free. This will be at the Hosts discretion, but is a great way of trying out different experiences that may become an ongoing thing you do, or for Hosts who would like to gain feedback on their experiences quickly.
 
Offering free experiences is part of eXpertLocal’s commitment to helping community groups and members of the eXpertLocal community to come together to meet, mingle and have some fun.
Is that all clear? Feel free to ask any clarifying questions you may have, or even make suggestions on how we can make this feature work for you!
