# Quick start

> Create your profile, publish your first product, and get paid on Guaybo.

Guaybo brings your products, your community, and your payments together in one
place. This guide takes you from sign-up to your first sale.

<Note>
  Creating your profile is free. On the **Standard (free) plan** there is no
  monthly fee — you only pay a commission when you sell. See
  [Pricing](/en/pricing).
</Note>

## 1. Create your account

Sign up with your email at
[guaybo.com/signup](https://www.guaybo.com/signup). Every new account starts on
the **Standard (free) plan**, regardless of the plan you pick later.

  Sign up for free and start selling what you know.
</Card>

## 2. Create your creator profile

Onboarding has three steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Name and unique link">
    Pick your **profile name** and your **alias** — the public link where your
    page lives: `guaybo.com/your-alias`.

    Alias rules: lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only, minimum 3
    characters. If it is taken, the form tells you and you pick another.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Category and description">
    Choose your **main category** (it determines where people find you on
    Guaybo) and write a short description of what you do. The description is
    optional, but it helps people quickly understand how you can help them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Profile picture">
    Upload your own image or pick one of the preset avatars. Use a **square
    image, 1:1 ratio** (for example 500 × 500 px) so it shows in full, with no
    awkward cropping, on your profile and on your product cards. You can change
    it anytime from your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once you finish, your public page exists and you can view it at
`https://guaybo.com/<alias>`.

</Frame>

## 3. Publish your first product

In the **Products** section, from the left-hand menu, you create what you sell.
On Guaybo we handle four types:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Digital product" icon="file-arrow-down">
    Files, templates, ebooks, guides. The buyer gets instant access after
    payment.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Digital course" icon="graduation-cap">
    Structured content in modules, with a built-in player for your students.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Event" icon="calendar">
    Online or in person, with date, capacity, and access control.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mentoring" icon="user-check">
    One-on-one sessions with a configurable schedule and availability.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

A product is created as a **draft**. For it to be accessible and shareable, you
have to **publish** it.

</Frame>

<Note>
  A published product can be **paused** whenever you want to stop sales, without
  losing what you already built.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Before sharing it with your community, visit your product page at
  `https://guaybo.com/<alias>/<your-product-alias>` and check that everything
  looks the way you expect.
</Tip>

## 4. Set up how you get paid

In **Settings → Payment methods** you turn on your payment rails. Guaybo is
built for LatAm: you can charge in bolívares and in dollars.

<Warning>
  If your product is **not free**, publishing it takes two steps:
  **verifying your identity** and **setting up your payment methods**. Without
  verification you will not be able to publish paid products.
</Warning>

Verification happens under **Settings → Account verification**.

## 5. Share and sell

Your public page `guaybo.com/your-alias` lists all your published products.
Each product also has its own link `guaybo.com/your-alias/product`, ideal for
campaigns.

When someone buys:

1. They complete checkout with the fields you defined.
2. They pay with any method you enabled.
3. They get access to the product in their account (**My purchases**).
4. You see the sale in the **Dashboard**.
