Quick answer: Sign up at app.flypost.io, confirm your email, then give Flypost your website. It builds your brand kit, learns your writing voice from LinkedIn, reads your blog and videos, and drafts your first post ideas. The whole setup takes about five minutes, and you can skip any step and come back to it later.

Are you new to Flypost and wondering where to begin? You've come to the right place. Setting up
takes about five minutes, and most of it is Flypost doing the work: it reads your website, your blog
and your LinkedIn posts so that the first things it writes for you already sound like you.

The good news is that you can't really get it wrong. Every step after the first can be skipped and
filled in later, and everything the setup creates can be edited afterwards.

In this guide we'll cover creating your account, each step of the setup, and what you'll find in
your workspace when it's done. Read on to find out more.

## How do I create a Flypost account?

Go to [app.flypost.io/signup](https://app.flypost.io/signup). You can sign up with your email or
with **Continue with Google**.

1. Enter your **Full name** and **Email address**, then click **Continue**.
2. Choose a password (at least 8 characters), type it again to confirm, and tell us where you heard
   about Flypost.
3. Tick the box to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click **Create account**.
4. Open the email we send you and click the link to confirm your address. The link lasts 24 hours.

_The sign-up page. Signing up with Google skips the password step._

Can't see the confirmation email? Check your spam or promotions folder. It comes from Flypost and the link inside is only valid for 24 hours.

## What happens during setup?

Once you're signed in, Flypost walks you through seven short steps. You'll see "Step 1 of 7" at the
top, with **Back** and **Next** links if you want to revisit one.

1. **Welcome.** Type your website address (for example `yourcompany.com`) and click **Analyse my brand**.
2. **Analysing.** Flypost reads your site, finds your logo, and picks up your colours, fonts and what
   you do. This usually takes 20 to 40 seconds.
3. **Brand kit.** Check what it found: your company name, a one-line description, your logo and your
   colours. Fix anything that's off, then click the **Looks right** button to carry on.
4. **LinkedIn.** Paste your LinkedIn profile address. Flypost studies your recent posts to learn
   your writing voice. Click **Continue**, or **I'll do this later**.
5. **Sources.** Add your blog (or other sections of your site) and your YouTube channel, so Flypost
   has your own material to write from. If it spotted them on your website, they're already filled in.
6. **Building.** Flypost puts it all together and drafts some starter ideas. This takes a minute or
   two. You can leave the page and we'll email you when it's ready.
7. **Your first post concepts.** A handful of ready-made ideas for your first posts. Click
   **Open my workspace** to start.

The LinkedIn step only reads your public posts to learn how you write. It does not let Flypost post for you. To publish from Flypost, [connect your LinkedIn account](https://www.flypost.io/help/connect-linkedin) once setup is done.

If Flypost can't reach your website, don't worry: it takes you straight to the brand kit step so you
can fill in your details by hand.

## Do I need a plan to use Flypost?

Yes. Once setup is finished, you'll be asked to start your **7-day free trial** before you can
generate and publish posts. You can try any plan, nothing is charged for 7
days, and you can cancel any time before then. There's more on this in
[plans, billing and your free trial](https://www.flypost.io/help/plans-and-billing).

## What's in my Flypost workspace?

When setup is done you land on **Posts**, your home page. The sidebar on the left takes you to
everything else:

| Sidebar item    | What it's for                                                     |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Posts**       | Your ideas and drafts, and the **Create post** button             |
| **Articles**    | Long-form LinkedIn articles                                       |
| **Videos**      | Short videos (in beta)                                            |
| **Brain**       | Your blog, videos, documents and notes, which Flypost writes from |
| **Inspiration** | What other LinkedIn creators in your space are posting            |
| **Assets**      | Every image, carousel and infographic you've made                 |
| **Schedule**    | Your scheduled and published posts on a calendar                  |
| **Analytics**   | How your LinkedIn posts performed (Pro and Agency plans)          |

![The Flypost Posts page with the sidebar on the left listing Posts, Articles, Videos, Brain, Inspiration, Assets, Schedule and Analytics, and the Create post button highlighted](https://www.flypost.io/help/getting-started/workspace.webp)

_Your workspace. The Create post button (highlighted) is where every new post starts._

At the very bottom of the sidebar is a button with your project's name. Click it to open the
**project and account menu**: that's where you'll find **Project settings**, **Plans & billing**,
**Connect AI tools**, the **Bin** and **Log out**.

## What should I do first?

Three things make the biggest difference to what Flypost writes for you:

1. **[Connect your LinkedIn account](https://www.flypost.io/help/connect-linkedin)** so you can schedule and publish
   straight from Flypost.
2. **[Add more of your own material to the Brain](https://www.flypost.io/help/add-sources-to-your-brain)**: blog posts,
   videos, documents, notes. The more Flypost knows, the less generic it sounds.
3. **[Check your writing voice](https://www.flypost.io/help/set-up-your-brand-and-voice)**, so every draft follows your
   rules (for example, "no hashtags" or "never use em dashes").

Then you're ready to [brainstorm your first ideas](https://www.flypost.io/help/brainstorm-post-ideas) and
[write your first post](https://www.flypost.io/help/write-a-post).

## Common questions

### How long does setting up Flypost take?

About five minutes. Reading your website takes 20 to 40 seconds (up to 90 for a big site), and building your workspace takes a minute or two. You can leave the page while it builds and we'll email you when it's ready.

### Do I need to connect LinkedIn during setup?

No. The setup only reads your public LinkedIn posts to learn how you write. Connecting LinkedIn so Flypost can publish for you is a separate step in Project settings, and you can do it whenever you like.

### How do I change my password?

Log out, then click 'Forgot password?' on the sign-in page and enter your email. We'll send you a link to set a new password of at least 8 characters.

### Can I change the email address on my account?

Not from inside the app yet. Contact support from the email you sign in with and we'll change it for you.
