Guides, pros, and expert anglers are often contacted by other fishermen to give up information about where the fish are and how to make them bite. Up until now, the only way to monetize that was by taking the person on a guided trip. With the FishTips platform, you can monetize your information as a "Digital Guide" by creating a digital guide service. Digital Guides build detailed "tips" on the FishTips platform for anglers to purchase, which helps them find and expand on patterns for catching more fish. Yes, specific locations are often included and important as examples of what to look for. However, the Digital Guides go above and beyond coordinates to build sophisticated scouting reports to provide folks with conditions, techniques, baits, patterns, and additional local information to help anglers break down the body of water quicker and find more fish. It's a great way for our Digital Guides to make secondary passive income monetizing their information. We hope you will take a look and see our vision for helping guides scale their businesses by using our platform and tools to educate anglers and create better memories on the water.

Not everyone can signup to be a digital guide on FishTips. Our team of guides and fishing industry veterans vets every prospective digital guide on the platform to review credentials and qualifications.  If you have experience teaching people to fish, writing reports, speaking at seminars, or writing fishing articles, post the links or information about these items for us to review.  We're not interested in the size of your following, just any high quality instructional content about breaking down a body of water to help people figure out the bite.  Here's a little bit more information about they type of information you should submit for our review based on the category of experience you have selected:

• Guides:  Submit the link to your website and/ or social media profiles. Important, if there are required credentials to be considered a for-hire guide on your body of water (USCG Captain's License, State DNR for-hire registration, business license), these are mandatory and we cannot give you a "guide" classification without these credentials.  
• Pro Anglers: Submit the link to your website and/ or social media profiles.  Also provide the link to your profile page for the tournament league you compete in (Bassmaster Opens/ Elites, Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour/ Invitationals/ Toyota Series, or NPFL)
• Tournament Anglers:  Submit the link to your website and/ or social media profiles.  Also provide the link to your profile page, tournament articles, or tournament results for the tournament league you compete in (BFL, ABA, team trails, club tournaments, etc.)
• College Anglers:  Submit the link to your team's website so we can review and see your name on the roster.  Also, please provide links to your social media pages.  
• Social Media Influencers:  please provide links to your social media pages and content relating to fishing instruction and guiding people on how they can catch fish.  We're not interested in the size of your following, just any high quality instructional content about breaking down a body of water to help people figure out the bite.  
• Local Experts:  If you have experience teaching people to fish, writing reports, speaking at seminars, or writing fishing articles, post the links or information about these items for us to review.
