Sell your Live Guides

# Sell your Live Guides Share your [[live guides]] for free to grow your community and fill your _sharing-monk-inner-calling_, or sell them as [[prime guides]] to earn money doing what you love. The choice is yours! This article outlines the steps you can take to become a prime creator and provides useful information for when your first prime guide gets approved. >[!note] > This page is structured as a **To-Do** **list** so you can keep track of where you are in the prime guide creation process. ## Requirements to sell your prime guide --- Some requirements are **quantitative** **metrics** and should be met. Others are **qualitative** and will be subject to Zar's appreciation as well as your own. These requirements are based on what makes the difference between an average [[live guides|live guide]] and a successful [[prime guides|prime guide]]. ### 1 - Your Rank You must have hit Platinum 4 minimum in the last or current season to be eligible to sell a live guide. ### 2 - [[210 Tips|Tips]] repartition - [ ] **220** [[210 Tips|tips]] minimum in the guide - [ ] Including **90** [[210 Tips|tips]] minimum that are **not** part of the [[220 Matchups and Synergies|Enemies or Allies]] tab. ### 3 - All available content tags unlocked The tags requirements are available in the [[Publish your guide]] tab of your [[guide editor]]. - [ ] _in-depth_ - [ ] _progression_ - [ ] _match-ups_ - [ ] _synergies (for ADC and Support only)_ - [ ] _items_ - [ ] _macro_ ### 4 - In-depth and structured lessons - [ ] Progression path that spans over at least **5 [[lessons]]**. - [ ] **Dynamic recurrent Tips**, that assess the game state in every game. - Examples of topics to cover in the dynamic recurrent tips - `How to behave based on enemies champion group (catch/all in/poke)` - `which jungle path to take based on enemy champion group (to counter their clear)` - `Lane gank assessment based on enemies champion group (CC/scaling)` - `Wave pushing assessment to know what where to gank/roam/invade` - [ ] **Increased difficulty/complexity of tips** as the user plays more games with the guide - [ ] **_WoW effect_ during the first lesson**. Players will be able to try your guide for free for 72 hours. So the first few games are key to convincing them to purchase your guide. You can do that by making sure that you give some advanced [[210 Tips|tips]] even in the first few games of your guide. - [ ] **Different jungle paths** created in the [[240 Jungle|Jungle tab]]. _Junglers only_ ### 5 - High quality of tips - [ ] **Trigger accuracy**: triggers in each [[210 Tips|tip]] are relevant to the context of the tip. Use the short guidelines described in these tabs: [[220 Matchups and Synergies|Enemies and Allies]], [[230 Items & Abilities|Items & abilities]], [[250 Custom|Custom]], [[240 Jungle|Jungle]] - [ ] **Good rhythm of [[210 Tips|tips]] in each game**. Aim at providing 15-30 [[210 Tips|tips]] per game. Don't try to give [[210 Tips|tips]] every 20 secs as players may feel spammed. Instead, spread them through the guide's progression path and the game duration (by using the right [[triggers]]). - [ ] **Easy to read and interpret:** focus on short and clear [[210 Tips|tips]]. The most useful and actionable information should be in the first sentence. Sometimes, players will have just the time to read the [[210 Tips|tip]] title. The second part of the [[210 Tips|tip]] should only supports the first sentence with explanations. >[!summary] Writing your Tips >→ Use simple words and short sentences. >→ Correct your texts with [free tools](https://app.grammarly.com/). >→ Use the **exact** and **correct** [name for items](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Item_(League_of_Legends)). >→ Use the letter from the keyboard when you mention spells (Q,W,E,R). >→ Use the 1st part of a [[210 Tips|tip]] for the most **important and actionable** information - not for title or not usable info. >→ Use colors to emphasize words - don't create a rainbow in every tip. ### 6 - Every match-up and synergies covered in the [[220 Matchups and Synergies| Allies & Enemies]] tab - [ ] **All match-ups** in a given role should be covered. Check [these lists](https://euw.op.gg/champion/statistics#) to be sure you didn't forget any champion. - [ ] **All synergies** with your duo lane in the "Allies" tab AND **all match-ups** for both the enemy support and enemy adc. _For ADC and Support only_ >[!warning] Pick rates >Covering champions with a <1% winrate is not requiered ### 7 - Runes and items pages In the [[Builds]] tab - [ ] Multiple rune pages - [ ] At least 2 item sets ### 8 - Guide presentation - [ ] Write a [[150 Write a compelling guide description|compelling description]] that will convince players to try your guide.
