Re: How can I earn

Hi @prnvbhrgv, you can become a trusted Google Street View Photographer. Please, read this post about it: Street View Trusted Photographer program FAQs

This is also an interesting read: Are you missing the 360 photography boat? 

 

There's no other way to earn money on maps with anything related to Local Guides (even Street View photographers were a different program until recently).

Re: How can I earn

Hi @prnvbhrgv, there is an indirect way to earn money: you can check on Google maps if a lot of local business in your area are claimed or not. My personal experience is that a lot are not. I'm pretty sure that some (especially those that are not very tech savvy) will want to pay a small sum to someone offering them help to do this (and at the same time edit/complete the company info on Google maps).

 

Here is a link to the blogpost I wrote on the topic a couple of weeks ago - it contains some nice arguments that you could then use for your potential customers.

Re: How can I earn

Hi @prnvbhrgv This is a volunteer program, there isn't a direct financial gain to it. Sometimes there could be small perks given just to encourage us along the way, but that shouldn't be taken as a financial gain, as it's usually quite small.  Please be informed that there is no payment or being an LG is not job.

As a Local Guide, you earn points for sharing reviews, photos, and knowledge on Google Maps. Those points lead to higher levels of the program, as well as benefits like early access to Google features and special perks from partners. Perks and benefits for the Local Guides program are always changing.  Benefits like invites to special events are made available to our high quality and actively contributing Local Guides. Here is a review of our points system

 

Local Guides also enjoy early access to new product features as well as occasional perks from some of our partners and benefits from Google. There is no financial compensation from being a Local Guide as this is an at-will program that you are free to contribute to at your own leisure. 

 

To make sure you are in the know on future updates, please ensure your email-settings are set to receive updates on 'Perks' and 'News & Product Updates'
