How to create an Island: the steps

First of all, have you already become a Creator on Waveful? Yes, as soon as you create your Waveful account you can start posting photos, videos and audios, on your profile and on existing Islands, but you will not be able to create an Island right away. To create an Island you will necessarily have to have reached 1000 views of the total posts. Then, simply start posting photos, videos, or audios to accumulate the views you need in order to reach the limit. Once you reach 1000 views of the total posts, you can finally create your own Island. To do this, you will have to follow these simple steps:

• Open your Waveful profile;
• At the top right select the settings wheel;
• Select the item "Island";
• Create an Island.

Well, once you get to this point, you will simply have to enter:

• Unique name of the island;
• Name;
• Description;
• Rules.

We recommend you to be very careful, the unique name of the island will be the unique name of the Island, it cannot be changed in the future, so be sure of your choice. Choose the unique name of the island that suits your Island and the content that will be published within it.

The Name can be changed in the future, it does not have to be the same as the unique name of the island.

The Description of the island is an important element to distinguish your Island from those of others, be creative, specify the characteristics of your Island.

The Rules will be the guidelines to follow for the members of your Island. For example, what content is allowed, what is prohibited and how to behave. You'll have the power to remove posts that violate your rules. 

Once you have done these simple steps, you will have to choose an appropriate profile photo for your Island and here you will be ready to start posting.

Remember to always create interaction, it will be the key to retaining the first active users on your Island.

If your Island is successful, and you need to administer the content, you can choose one or more admins who will help you remove content that is not allowed by your guidelines. You can do this by entering the settings of your Island and select the "administrators" item.
