At the moment I do not have a step by step on how to add custom fields, however, I can refer you to a couple plugins that I’ve released that creates custom fields which you can reference to build you own.
The first is the custom field demo plugin. It is very basic. It adds four metaboxes showcasing all of the fields that can be created using the Custom Field API.
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections-Custom-Metaboxes-And-FieldsThe second is a fully functional, well documented plugin that adds a Income Levels field. This one will likely be a good base for you to base your on.
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Income-LevelsThe last is a bit more complex as it creates and utilities a custom field type, a field type not supported by the API. Basically this plugin demonstrates that any type of field can be added.
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/HoursHope this helps you, and if you want, send me yours, I’ll put it up Github for others.

Add an action and filter as shown in the Income Levels extension with their associate callback functions:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Income-Levels/blob/1.0.1/connections_income_levels.php#L56The core template will recognize the new content block and display after if is enabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab.
All templates contain this function call to render the content blocks of custom fields:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/0.8.7/templates/card/card-default.php#L91Hope that helps!
