Hi @Kiran-dai
"Welcome to Connect! If this is your first visit, you’ve come to the right place. This post will serve as a guide for everything you need to know about contributing content and engaging with the Local Guides community on Connect"
This is the first of the information that you will find in "Your guide to Connect" , the introductory Guide of the community.
In there you will find all the necessary information to know how to better contribute in the community
Local Guides is a volunteer activity, to improve the contents of Google Maps.
No payment can be involved in our contribution, because we need to be free, e.g., to write an honest, not paid, review.
Street View Trusted Photographers can offer a service, without mixing their contribution but, as the Street View Trusted Photographers Program is under renovation, we don't have more information about the evolution
Do you have a doubt about how to do something? The Help desk is here for you,with a long list of post with detailed indications on how to post.
Which kind of contents we share in the community? What are Connect topics? will give you an explanation
Explore Accessible Life in Google Earth - The program is now Public for Everyone to contribute

Hello @Kiran-dai,
In addition to the useful information @ErmesT provided, I would say that I am merging your post with this thread which talks about a similar Can I earn money as being a Local Guide. As a reminder, the Local Guides program is for individuals who contribute to Google Maps who like to help others to discover and explore their world.
Local Guides receive benefits depending on their level which depends on the number of contributions they make to Google Maps. You can learn more about the program and benefits in the Help Desk.

Hi @Akki2,
We don't offer monetary compensation for being part of a voluntary program. You can have a look at this post and the solution already offered. Your post will be merged to it and if you have future questions related to the Local Guides program, please share them on the How-tos section. Thank you.

Hi,
Is there anyone who has made money through being a local guide? Is there a way to work for Google providing information?

Hi @MrsThorne Local Guides are not permitted to earn money from the program it is against the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions.
That said, Google have (outside the Local Guides Program) issued a new app called Task Mate which does pay for tasks that are similar to some contribution types of Local Guides, its availability is very limited and it is invite only at this time

You can also join the program for professional photographers Street View https://www.google.com/streetview/
