For locals

Get paid for the picks
you already know by heart.

Travelers pay a small one-time fee to unlock your list of favorite spots, your events, and a direct line to chat with you. You set the price; Localyzed takes 20%; the rest pays out to your Stripe account.

What you get

80% of every sale
Localyzed keeps 20% to cover payments + hosting. The rest pays out via Stripe in your local currency.
A profile that sells itself
Photos, picks, events, reviews, and an auto-generated share preview when you post your link on Instagram or Substack.
Itineraries on the side
Optional second revenue stream. Travelers commission custom itineraries for the specific days they need planned.
Direct messaging
Once a traveler unlocks you, you can chat live. You answer one question, they recommend you to a friend.

What it looks like in practice

In your account

Add a $25 itinerary once a week and you're past $500/mo. Numbers scale with how much you share — most guides keep their picks current and post their profile to one social channel a week.
