Once every location's script and audio has been approved, and your final touches are complete, a button labelled Submit for Review will appear at the top right of the publishing tool. Click on that, and your tour will be submitted to our editors for a final once-over.

You'll receive an email notification when that process is complete, and at that point you are three clicks away from publishing:

1. Click on Accept Terms and Conditions. (You'll find more information about these in the publishing agreement article.)
2. A new window will appear, displaying the complete terms and conditions. Click on Accept. We'll email you a PDF document with these terms when you do.
3. The colour of the button labelled Publish will then change from grey to red, and you can now click on it. Your tour will be available for purchase and download immediately.

When you click on Publish, your tour goes out immediately, and from that point on, it's available through either VoiceMap's mobile apps or at voicemap.me.

We hope it's satisfying to see it there, and if you chose a compelling title, a striking cover image, and a captivating featured location, it probably won't be long before you make your first sales. But the difference between our best-selling and worst-selling tours isn't always the quality of the content. That often comes down to what you do next, when you start making sure you're doing as much as other publishers to promote and sell your tour.

There are a few basics outlined in Get the basics right, and it's easy to get most of them right. The first is sharing your tour with your own network to help get some early reviews. Those first few reviews matter more than almost anything else at this stage, reassuring people who are still deciding whether to buy. After that, we'll look at getting your tour listed with our reseller networks, promoting it on social media, and using print materials.
