How to catch 🌊 THE FIRST WAVE℠ Promo Campaign *

(who can join, when to do it, what to start with, what information to provide, what the procedures are):

WHO Can Join?

Every tour guide registered on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD platform with an active annual subscription can join the campaign.

WHEN to join?

You can join at any time you want to have access to the services offered under this promo campaign.

HOW to join?

To join the PROMO, a tour guide must complete one of the questionnaires or both. The links will be provided below. After the questionnaire is filled in and submitted by pressing the SUBMIT button at the end of the questionnaire, the sender receives an email confirmation, and the PGW office receives your data. Shortly after receiving it, we will contact the tour guide by email to clarify any details (if needed) or share the draft suggestions.

Are you ready to catch the waves?

Turn the Details of Your Activity Into Clear Benefits

To tailor our services to your preferences, we need as much information and detail as possible. No worries, we are not going to interfere with your privacy or collect any private information – there are many other specific online resources for that. We use only the data that the tour guides are ready to share and provide themselves.

We mostly need professional facts to compile a description for a tour guide profile and their tours:

place names
geographical locations
timing and schedules
cost and accepted currencies
milestones
goals
benefits
unique characteristics

You can fill out the forms on all devices, from your smartphone to desktop computers.

There are many such details. To make it easy for you to express yourself and for us to process that information, we suggest two questionnaires for you:

for creating profile descriptions
for creating descriptions for your tours and excursions

They are easy to fill out – they are online forms. You can find them in separate articles, along with recommendations for completing each.

General Recommendations for Filling Out 🌊 THE FIRST WAVE℠ Promo Campaign Questionnaires

You will be asked to provide your email address at the beginning of the form. Mentioning your email is necessary for the following reasons:

It is important to start filling out the form by entering your email address (only once: either Gmail or any other email address), as this will help us identify you and send the confirmation.

Your email address will help us identify you faster in our database and get started on your content sooner.
You will receive confirmation of a successful form submission to your email.
You do not need a Google account; any existing email address is fine.
If you have a Google account, your progress will be automatically saved so that you can complete the form at your own pace later.
The provided email address will not be used for sending any commercial emails or for any other purposes.

The questionnaires are available in six languages, which we use on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD platform – choose the one that is most comfortable for you from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of any webpage, as shown in the image below:

To open the form in your language, first open the article containing the form in that language; the questionnaire is embedded in the article in the same language.

Each questionnaire consists of about 10 open-ended questions and should take 15–20 minutes to complete. Your detailed responses will allow us to craft the most compelling and accurate descriptions for your profile and tours.

The form can be filled out either on a computer or in the mobile browser of your smartphone.

Both questionnaires can be filled out in a smartphone’s browser.

Methods to Complete 🌊 THE FIRST WAVE℠ Promo Campaign Questionnaires

We value your input! You can complete our survey directly within the article or by opening it in a new window. Here is how:

Method 1: Using the embedded form

Open the article, read the introduction with comments, and scroll down. You will see a special form with the same title image as the article and its own scroll bar on the right side – you will need it to scroll from the top to the bottom. It will look like the following:

If you see the same form as in the image above, it means the form is displayed correctly on this page, and you can type in it as you always do with a keyboard. Follow these steps:

1. Scroll through the form window to view all questions.

2. Select or type your answers for each field. Required questions are marked with a red asterisk (*), If you miss a question marked with a red asterisk, the form will not let you move to the next page and, therefore, will not let you send the filled form to us.

The screen shows that some answers can be selected, and others must be typed in.

3. Click “Next” at the bottom of every page to move to the next one.

A screen shows a red asterisk and the NEXT button to continue the form.

4. Click “Submit” at the bottom of the form at the end to finish the process and send the questionnaire to the PGW office.

5. Confirmation: Wait for the response, “Your answers have been received. A member of the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD support team will contact you shortly.” It will appear within the same form window to confirm it was sent successfully. Within 1 minute, you will receive an email at the address you used when filling out the form. This email confirms that the form was filled out correctly and that all your answers are included, in case you want to archive them.

If the questionnaire is filled out correctly, the SUBMIT button becomes active; if it is still not active, the form will indicate which question was missed or whether an email address was not entered.

Method 2: Opening the form via a link

If you prefer a full-screen experience or the embedded version is not loading correctly:

1. Click the link provided (e.g., Follow this link, Google Forms, the GREEN button “Questionnaire on Google Forms”) as shown in the image below:

The laptop screen shows 3 anchor texts (Follow this link, Google Forms, the GREEN button “Questionnaire on Google Forms”), each with a link to open the form. You can click any of these three anchors; each link opens the same questionnaire in a new window.

2. Enter your email address or SIGN IN to your Google account. Google Forms automatically saves your progress for 30 days when you are signed in, so you can work across devices or take a break without losing anything. If you do not use Gmail, you can enter any other email address instead. Mentioning a registered email address will help us identify you as a PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD user. It will allow you to receive a confirmation of your submission along with a copy of the completed form for your records.

3. Scroll through the form window to view all questions.

4. Select or type your answers for each field. Required questions are marked with a red asterisk (*). If you miss a question marked with a red asterisk, the form will not let you move to the next page and, therefore, will not let you send the filled form to us.

5. Click “Next” at the bottom of every page to move to the next one.

A screen shows the confirmation message that appears after clicking the SUBMIT button.

6. Click “Submit” at the bottom of the form at the end to finish the process and send the questionnaire to the PGW office.

7. Confirmation: Wait for the response, “Your answers have been received. A member of the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD support team will contact you shortly.” It will appear within the same form window to confirm it was sent successfully. Within 1 minute, you will receive an email at the address you used when filling out the form. This email confirms that the form was filled out correctly and that all your answers are included, in case you want to archive them.

A screen shows a received notification email containing the confirmation and a copy of the answers.

Two Articles = Two Questionnaires

In the next two articles, you will find the forms for creating profiles and tour descriptions.

This article includes the questionnaire for creating a profile description:

Questionnaire for Creating Profile Description

Another article includes the questionnaire for creating a tour description. Please remember to fill out a separate form for every tour you submit – this helps us avoid possible confusion later.

Questionnaire for Creating Tour Description

We put the title images here to help you better recognise the difference: a female tour guide in Rome is responsible for creating the profile, and the questionnaire itself will also use the same image. The Egyptian tour guide with tourists among the pyramids is responsible for creating the tour description. The logos of each questionnaire are also different: one shows the word PROFILE, and the other shows TOUR + THE FIRST WAVE℠ and the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD colourful circle.

You can also request the questionnaires as files by email

If you prefer, you can email our support team at support@pg.world to request PDF versions of the questionnaires. You can fill them out and return them via email.

Support and follow-up

If you need assistance, our support team is ready to help. Email support@pg.world, or reach out via social media. We are here for you 24/7/365.

What Happens After the Form Is Submitted

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we will process it within a few days, depending on the queue. We will then send a draft of the text for your feedback and approval. Please provide your feedback so we can refine the content until it fully meets your expectations.

Examples

Here is an example of a bad and a good tour guide’s profile description, based on the opinions of tourists on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD platform:

Examples of a bad and a good profile description.

Why the description on the left side is bad:

Poor specificity: The description is vague and lacks detail on what makes Linda’s tours unique.
No personality: The text does not convey any sense of who Linda is as a person or as a guide, making it hard for potential tourists to connect with her.
Boring language: bland and unengaging.
No hooks: This tour guide’s description has no hooks at all, making it unlikely to attract tourist attention.

Why the description on the right side is good:

Specific and detailed: Linda clearly states her experience, the type of tours she offers, and what makes them special.
Engaging language: The language is lively and inviting, capturing the reader’s interest.
Personal connection: Linda introduces herself warmly and shares her passion, making her more relatable and trustworthy.
Unique hook: The description highlights the hook that sets her tour apart, including her focus on hidden gems and her storytelling background.

Translation services

If desired, we will translate your approved text into any of the six languages supported on our platform (🇬🇧 English, 🇪🇸 Spanish, 🇫🇷 French, 🇩🇪 German, 🇮🇹 Italian, and 🇷🇺 Russian) listed in your profile under SPOKEN LANGUAGES. Please ensure you are comfortable communicating in these languages, as tourists may expect services in all the languages listed. We will only proceed with translations after your confirmation.

Your profile can be translated into 6 languages we use on the PRIVATE GUIDE WORLD platform.

Publishing the final content

Once you are satisfied with both the main text and translations, we will upload the content to your profile. The text will go live after our moderation process, which usually takes up to 24 hours, but as we participated in its creation, it will be almost immediate.

Additional notes

For tour guides with existing content: If you already have a profile or tour description but want to edit or improve it, we are happy to assist with grammar, style, and translation checks.
Style preferences: Please indicate your preferred style and tone for the text. Creative and engaging descriptions often make a lasting impression on tourists.

We guarantee confidentiality and stay behind the curtains of your future success, and do not mention our role unless you, by yourself, choose to do so.
