Steps to Have the Wholistic Hive Team
Create Your Paid Event Online
Note: You will be processing payments on your own website or you will need to provide your information so that attendees can pay you. Wholistic Hive doesn’t process payments for events and we do not take a cut of event sales. All payments from attendees are made directly to you via your website or payment processor (for example Venmo or Paypal).
-
POLLINATOR: Create a Google Calendar event and make sure that it includes the following information:
-
Date
-
Beginning and end time of your event
-
Name of event
-
Event details/description (body copy)
-
NOTE: Please be sure to add the link where people can register for your event and/or information on how to pay you. Attendees will need to register for your event on your website or pay you directly. Please ensure that the WH member coupon code is enabled on your site.
-
-
Graphic/image for the event
-
Price of the event for members and non-members
-
Location of event
-
If in Topia, please include the location South, North, East, West, or specific object so that attendees will be led to that particular location.
-
-
-
POLLINATOR: Once your event includes all of the above information, invite wholistichive@gmail.com*
-
*Ideally, please create and invite Wholistic Hive to your event at least 14 days before your event. This helps account for any back and forth communication/clarification and gives more lead time for people to see your event and schedule.
-
In order for your event to be populated on all WH platforms and shared in WH’s IG stories, you will need to send your event at least 8 days ahead of the event date. If you send the invitation less than 8 days before your event, we cannot guarantee that WH will populate your event on all WH platforms and promote via the WH IG stories.

POLLINATOR - If hosting your event in our Hive Wonderland Topia: Once you’ve invited WH to your event, please also send an email to wholistichive@gmail.com with the password that you’d like for Topia for your event. For example, “CATS1234”
-
POLLINATOR - For extra exposure: Please include, in your email with your password, a 10-20 second video of yourself talking about your event and inviting people to join you. (Increased attendance to your event is more likely when our community can see your face and hear your voice behind your offering.) Here are some tips:
-
Name & company
-
What you’re event is about
-
What is the benefit to them coming? / What will they leave with? (A feeling, a knowing, an opportunity, etc)
-
Ex: See how Sögu did it here. This doesn’t need to bee complicated. Your phone is probably perfect for this. :)
