Monetization in google maps

[ChinmayMohanta]

We local guides are helping millions of people on google maps by giving useful reviews, lots of information by posting photos and videos. And also giving reply of asked questions.

We are continuously trying to develop google maps and trying to make it pure and accurate.

But, google does not gives a penny. It is very shame to our effort. We are developing them by our effort, but they have not a little bit sympathy to us. 

If moneitization takes place in google maps to the certified or high leveled local guides (as like youtube), we will try our best to increase our efficiency and also correctness/purity of google maps. Thank U

As already mentioned in many thread lg program not for money. Google search is free around the world, map also free of cost. Okay leave search focus on map. In any tinny problem why you remember map?

Google should also enable monetization in local guides map photos & videos. Hope for the same.

Hello @ChinmayMohanta. I see you are really high up the LG ladder. However I'll just remind you of a little something that you signed when you joined the program, and something you can still see in the program rules. The Local Guides program is a volunteer activity and Local Guides cannot expect to get any form of payment from Google, it's actually illegal to try to profit from this program and it may even get an account suspended. But i've seen Google offer perks to Local Guides in the past, not payment though but more like an incentive. There are other ways to earn through Google like the Trusted street View Photographer, or GMB, etc Just not by being a Local Guide. 

Cheers.

Incentivisation modes are available in various modes

It sounds strange for me to read that you support this idea @Dbhuyan, mostly because you applied for Connect Live '18.

I think you should check again the program rules

I also support your views. At least some benefit should be extended to the contributors according to their merit.
