How it works
Your audience becomes your income.
Not your follower count, your engagement rate, or your algorithm placement. The followers who actually want your recommendations.
Paste your map link in bio
One link. Works on Instagram, TikTok, Substack, anywhere.
Follower clicks
They land on your map page — cover photo, description, price.
Signs up + purchases
30-second sign-up. One-tap checkout. Stripe handles the rest.
You get paid
Automatic transfer. 85% to you. Lands weekly.
The math
Small audiences can earn real money.
You don't need 100k followers. You need 100 people who trust your taste enough to pay €9 for it.
What could you earn?
Your monthly earnings
€765
100 sales · $9 × 85%
Conservative estimate. Creators with engaged audiences convert higher.
Questions
Do my followers need to create an account?
Yes — Mapea requires sign-in before access. It takes 30 seconds and protects your content. Most followers who are genuinely interested won't mind.
What if I already have a free Google Maps list?
Perfect starting point. Paste the same URL into Mapea, add a cover photo and description, set a price, and publish. You can keep sharing the free one while your paid version earns.
How do I share it?
Your map gets a link you paste in your bio, stories, or newsletter. Mapea handles everything after the click — sign-in, payment, and instant access to the Google Maps link.
When do I get paid?
Every sale triggers an automatic transfer to your Stripe account. Connect Stripe once — payouts land weekly.
What does Mapea take?
15%. You keep 85% of every sale. No monthly fee, no setup cost.
Can I see who bought my map?
You'll see aggregate stats (sales, views, earnings) in your dashboard. You won't see individual buyer identities — Mapea handles that relationship.
Your recs are worth something.
