For locals

Get paid for knowing
your city.

You already know the coffee spot the guidebooks miss, the neighborhood everyone underrates, the restaurant your out-of-town friends still ask about. The local party, the best view point. Turn that into a page travelers pay to unlock. When new people land in your city, you get paid. Imagine if you could capture just a small fraction of your city's tourism traffic…

What you get

60–80% of every sale
You keep 60% on unlocks (70% on trip plans) when Localyzed sends the traveler — 80% on both when they come through your own affiliate link. Minus applicable payment processing fees and taxes. Payouts land in your Stripe account in 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

$25
Your unlock price
40
Travelers/month
$700+
In your account

Add a couple custom itineraries at $40+/day and you're past $1,000/month. Numbers scale with how much you share — guides who drop their affiliate link in their IG bio do best.
