This is a voluntary program and you will not be paid. 

But there there is Street-View-Trusted-Program which will give you a certified photographer badge and you can earn by creating virtual tours.

Dear concern

I m very new here. I want to know how I can earn from Google as a local guide.

@Shakib  The program is set up to be a voluntary program that is unbiased by earning or payment. There is an option to become a Google Trusted Photographer and in that program, you can make money taking google maps / Streetview photos.

Let's break this down and keep it short and sweet, shall we? What you earn from Google are points. The more points you earn, the higher level you are able to achieve. The higher tier you earn, the more trusted and respected your reviews, photos, edits, etc. become. On occasion, Google offers a little extra incentive as a thank-you to Local Guides. This may come in the form of free Google Drive space, free music or movie downloads through Google Music or Google Movies. They are the equivalent of an Internet thank-you card. Thank you for contributing so that Local Guides and non-Local Guides alike can have insight about your country, state, city, pueblo, or wherever you reside. If you're looking for a Horn-o-Plenty of free goodies from Google by becoming a Local Guide, you're becoming a Guide for the wrong reason(s). Become a guide because you are an explorer and you want others to explore. Don't become one for fame, fortune and glory. Be one because you're curious and know other are just as curious as you. Whatever you decide, you have support. After all, you're on Local Guides Connect already.
