💰 How to Monetize Your Guide

an overview on monetizing the guide - setting prices and more.

Updated over 7 months ago

Once your guide is tested and ready, you’ve got options for turning your expertise into income — or building deeper trust by keeping things free.

All monetization settings can be found in the Overview section of your Experience.


💵 Set a Price (You Decide)

You can charge for your guide — and you control the price.

Whether it’s $5, $15, or more, you’re the expert, and this is your content. If your guide is highly curated or offers niche value, charging upfront can be the right move.


💬 Ask for Tips (Pay What You Want)

Prefer to keep your guide free? You can enable a tip option inside the guide itself, allowing users to pay what they want if they find value in it.

This is perfect if you want to remove friction but still give people a way to support your work.


🎁 Keep It Free (and Strategic)

Not everything has to be monetized out of the gate. Offering your guide completely free is a powerful strategy to:

  • Build trust with your audience

  • Showcase your value

  • Grow brand loyalty

  • Encourage shares and engagement

Especially if you’re still growing your following or testing your content, this is a great way to deliver big value and make a strong impression — no strings attached.

You can always switch to charging or add tip options later once you see how people are responding.


🤝 Can I Charge and Ask for Tips?

Yes — you can enable both a guide price and tips, but we usually don’t recommend it unless you have a specific strategy.

If you do this, make sure it’s clear why you’re charging and asking for more — for example, a low entry price with optional tips for those who found it super valuable.


📈 Coming Soon: Affiliate Links

In some cases, we’ll help you monetize through affiliate links — for products, hotels, or tours you recommend. If you’re interested, reach out and we’ll help you get set up.


🔥 You Keep 100%

No matter which monetization path you choose — tips, charging, or affiliate links — you keep everything. We don’t take a cut.

It’s your expertise, your audience, your earnings.


🚀 Final Thought

You’re in control. Whether you charge, ask for tips, go free, or mix it up — the goal is the same: help people while making your knowledge work for you.
