Eh?!?!  What’s up with the Sign-up Process?

We seem to be confusing some people right now with our sign-up process and we’re working on fixing that (and apologize).  Here are the steps to signing-up:

1. Complete the invitation form. You’ll receive an email from us which will let you know your invitation is coming soon.
2. You will receive an invitation link within the next 24 hours to sign-up to create your account.
   
3. After completing your account information…you need to activate your account and that’s yet another email. (sorry…the first two steps will go away soon enough)
4. Once your account is activated you can then login and join the party!!

 

Why should I use WhyGoSolo?

WhyGoSolo is perfect for all the things you love to do but you don’t have the right person to do the activities with.  WhyGoSolo is splendid for those occasions when you’re on the road traveling, left behind by your friends, stuck with cancelled plans or just relocated to a new area.  WhyGoSolo is also ideal for those moments when you feel spontaneous and find yourself with an afternoon or day off or you want to try something new and meet someone new. 

Is WhyGoSolo a dating site? 

No, WhyGoSolo is NOT a dating site.  Can two people of the opposite sex (or same sex for that matter) meet on WhyGoSolo and end up romantically involved…sure, but that’s not the purpose behind WhyGoSolo.  WhyGoSolo is for making new friends and acquaintances, networking and socializing with your current friends.

Is WhyGoSolo an Online Community? 

Technically we have many of same features of many online communities however, we call WhyGoSolo a solution—the solution for getting you out and about socializing and networking in real life.  The solution to meeting new people or connecting with your friends.  The solution to adding benefits and ease in doing the things you love and discovering new things.  A solution for leveraging technology to improve your life!!

Where do I get started once I have an account?

Once you have an account you can start browsing the Community Board and see if there’s anything there happening that you are interested in.  You can also create your own Community Listings.  In your profile area under Community Listing and Create.  This will bring up a form to complete to announce what you want to do.  Once your listing is created it will be added to the Community Board for someone to find it and initiate the Handshake Request.

What’s a Handshake Request?

A Handshake Request is what you initiate when you find a listing/person you are interested in joining for the activity they listed.  When you initiate a Handshake, the person whose listing you selected receives a private message letting them you are interested in joining them.  They can pass or accept your request.  A Handshake Request isn’t completed until all parties confirm they are going and acknowledge the other person is going.

Who can create a Group?

Anyone can create a Group, but Groups have to be first approved by an Administrator prior to being visible on the site.  We want to make sure we don’t end up with offensive or inappropriate groups or the same exact multiple groups.

What kind of group should I start? 

The more specific your group is to the type of interest and niche you are looking for to meet people for/in the better and more successful your group will.  An example of a great group: Single Dads Who Go Motorcycling on the Weekends

How do I send a Private Message? 

All you have to do to Private Message another member is to go mail, compose and type in the member's display name in the Recipient field.  We are working on making a drop down for your friends to simplifiy the process. 

What are the benefits to Upgrading right now?

When you Upgrade right now you get a lifetime membership for the price of the eventual yearly membership fee.  After Upgrading you will receive your WhyGoSolo membership and Accepting Company Sign in the mail. We have big plans to make sure your membership card is the key to many benefits and perks in the real near future. 

What’s the Accepting Company Sign?

It’s a WhyGoSolo branded sign that says Accepting Company that you can take with you when you’re dining or having lunch alone to meet new people. It’s ideal for locations like Cosi, Panera Bread…Chipotle or other places you go for a quick bite to eat and would like to have someone join you.
