Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before sending us your article.

How can I make money from my travel blog with Glimpio?

Send us the link to an article you've already published, such as a city guide or a list of places. We turn it into an interactive Google map for free, and you sell it to your audience as a digital product. Every sale is tracked and revenue is split 50/50.

How is it different from affiliate links?

With affiliate links you earn a commission when your readers buy someone else's product or book someone else's service. With Glimpio you sell your own product, built from your own content: the map of your article. You can use both at the same time.

How much can I earn?

It depends on the price of the map and on how many you sell to your audience. For example, with a map priced at €20 and 40 sales in a month, your earnings are €400 a month. For the first 10 creators, Glimpio's share drops from 50% to 30% after the first 10 sales.

Can I sell the map on Instagram, TikTok or in my newsletter?

Yes. You get a page to share with your audience, and you can post its link wherever you talk to your followers: on your blog, in your Instagram or TikTok bio, in stories, in your newsletter.

Who buys the map?

Your audience: people who follow you, are planning a trip to the places you write about, and would rather have your recommendations already pinned on Google Maps than reread the article.

Is the map a digital product I only have to create once?

Yes. It's a digital product built from content you've already written, and we build it for you, for free. Once it's ready, you can keep offering it to your audience without having to recreate it.

How much does it cost me as a creator?

Building the map is free, always. Revenue from sales is split 50/50 between you and Glimpio; if you're one of the first 10 selected creators, after your first 10 sales Glimpio's share drops to 30%.

Do I need to know how to code or use special software?

No. You send us the link to your article, we take care of the rest: no research, no spreadsheets, no software to download.

Do I need to already have an audience to start?

Not to have the map built — that's free regardless. To sell it, yes: the model works because you pitch it to your own audience, so you need a channel (blog, Instagram, newsletter...) to share it through.

Am I obligated to publish the map once it's ready?

No. You see it first, for free, with no obligation to publish or sell it.

What happens to the revenue from sales?

Every sale is tracked and your share is paid out to you on a regular basis.

How long does it take to get the map ready?

You see it within 1 day of sending the article.

What kind of article can I send?

Any city guide or hidden-gems article you've already published.

Is the map a real Google map or a mockup?

It's a real map on Google My Maps: whoever opens it clicks a pin and sees photos, reviews, and address pulled directly from Google, with your own description alongside.

Can I stop whenever I want?

Yes, no commitment: no entry cost, no long-term contract.

What happens after the "first 10 creators" period?

It's a launch offer designed for those joining now: a direct line to us while we shape the product, plus the reduced 30% share after your first 10 sales.
