Welcome! The first step is registration. Just click the Register link at the top right of the site to get started. You need a valid email address, a unique username and a password. Usernames can only be numbers and letters; no funky characters or spaces are allowed. You can use both upper and lowercase letters; usernames are not case-sensitive. Passwords are case-sensitive, so be careful typing your new password.
If you want to be a guru, we also require that you have a valid credit card on file.
Since SeekYourGuru is an e-commerce site, all buyers and sellers must be over the age of 18 (or have parental permission and supervision). You also need to familiarize yourself with our rules in the Terms of Use and the DOs and DON’Ts of SeekYourGuru before registering. Once you're registered, please consult our Help resources for more info.
