Of course! Despite our platform being designed to feel like an invisible hand is guiding you every step of the way, we’d rather personally help you get started and provide tailored tips.

Let’s jump on a video call and create your first Listing together! Schedule your kickoff call.

You can get started on exploringnotboring.com today for FREE! 

No upfront costs!
No subscription fees!
No booking volume costs!
No payment gateway fees!
Absolutely no stinky hidden fees!

We’re invested in your success, so we work on a revenue-sharing model. Period.

When you earn customers from partnering with us, we earn a small percentage that goes back into the platform to better support you. You don’t pay anything unless you’re generating revenue. That means offering FREE Activities, Events or Products is FREE for you as well! No strings attached. And no subscription fees means no extra costs during the slow season.

exploringnotboring.com is passion-driven, not profit-driven.
We hope you feel that in everything we do. See our Payment Terms to learn more.

Absolutely not, astronaut!! There’s no such thing as upgrading or downgrading, no renewing, no annual plan, no month to month.

We’re invested in your success, so we work on a transparent revenue-sharing model. Period.

We get it, we’ve all got to eat 🍔 That’s why it’s important to set up your preferred Payout Method to collect your earnings. From there, your Payouts are released 24 hours after the booking is completed. With Products, your payout is released once the order is marked as shipped. The date that you receive your funds will depend on your financial institution and whether the Payout is released on a weekend or bank holiday.

Yessiree! You can create UNLIMITED Listings. Add as many Listings as you can manage and earn more by offering more opportunities for Seekers to book or buy from you. Each Listing will go through the same approval process to ensure it meets our Quality Standards and has the opportunity to be reviewed by our marketing experts for optimizations to help you sell more online.

FYI—We designed our booking system to support the utmost creative experiences, so feel free to submit outside-the-box ideas that are unsupported by other platforms. There’s no mold to fit here. No golden handcuffs. No strings attached. So, unleash your creativity!

Yassss Queen! exploringnotboring.com is designed for you to have TOTAL CONTROL over what you offer. It’s your business, not ours! You set your price, availability, and rules for any Activity, Event, or Product you want to offer.

Once submitted, each Listing goes through our approval process where we ensure that your offering is an original idea providing value to you & others, and a good fit for our niche marketplace of uniquely local experiences. Our marketing experts also use that opportunity to help you enhance your customer experience and optimize your messaging, pricing strategies, and aesthetics to sell more online.

Once approved, you still have the final say as to when your Listing is discoverable on the platform. You’ll be prompted to activate your Listing with a quick flick of the Activation Toggle.

At any time, you can update your Listing title, description, photos, rules, availability or inventory, and of course, deactivate your Listing if needed. Just ensure any modifications meet our Quality Standards to prevent penalties.

FUN FACT: Under your Storefront on exploringnotboring.com, you can control all of your Listings, and Seekers can explore all of them too, like a sweet ol’ catalog of your unique awesomeness 😎  If you don’t have a website, your Storefront serves that purpose for you without hosting or maintenance fees. Just add your Store link to your social channels and share it wherever your customers hang out!

We’re working on it!

We integrate with Google Calendar and Zoom, and you can leverage Zapier to connect to many other tools.

As for integrating with other booking systems, it makes sense why no booking system on the market integrates with their competitors . . .

But we’re not them.

exploringnotboring isn’t a booking system, we have a custom booking system tailored to experience creators (unique local guides, instructors, and makers) as part of our marketing suite for local experts. 

So, we’re working on it! 

Connectivity is important to us. It will help us in our mission to help local experience creators reduce their dependence on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) and distributors, and instead, attract organic sales with marketing tools and know-how to bring human connection and authenticity to the forefront in their local city . . . whether using our tailored booking system or not.

EVERYONE! Kidding, we wish—everyone could benefit from local connections and enriching experiences, but no one can afford to address everyone’s problems, especially in today’s market conditions where the media we use to reach our customers is so highly fragmented. That’s why effective strategies have FOCUS 🤓

Our strategies serve individuals who already understand the value of new experiences, personal growth, and supporting local communities. These people already invest their precious time & money into creating these opportunities for themselves & others.

Though travelers are a byproduct, our direct efforts serve local communities, all genders and statuses (with a focus on family & friend groups), and all ages (with a focus on millennials, and scope from zoomers to boomers), looking for unique things to do.

Our long-term goal is to serve everyone and influence behavioral change that compounds positive emotions over time,  helping people build connections and interests that create a happier world. 

That’s why we designed exploringnotboring.com to inspire all walks of life by introducing an array of new ideas & opportunities that empower rich, meaningful experiences for self-definition, well-being & life satisfaction. Whether you are 8 or 80, you’ll find interesting possibilities to explore here that will expand your mind into new dimensions. Our mission is to make it easy for anyone to create newer & richer experiences.

You may need a business license, general liability insurance, product liability insurance, or even certain permits based on your unique offering. Always check with local laws in your area and seek expert advice.

A good rule of thumb: if it involves food or drinks, or high risk activities, seek counsel for your requirements.

EXPLORINGNOTBORING is a people-centric benefit company, differentiated from a traditional business by our purpose, accountability, and transparency. At the heart of a benefit company is the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than its shareholders, employees, or customers; business has an even greater responsibility to our community and the planet in which we all live.

In 2022, we made a choice to be transparent about our imperfect journey, to share through storytelling what we learn with our customers and business community at large, and to continue to share and evolve our vision of responsible business.
