If you know a place well, you can turn that knowledge into a self-guided audio tour that travellers download and follow by GPS. You do not need a film crew or a big budget. Here is how it works, and how you get paid for it.
Why make an audio tour
A self-guided audio tour is the rare travel product that keeps earning after you make it. Local guides, tourism operators and passionate locals all use them to share a route, reach travellers who will never book a group tour, and earn on the side.
What you need
A route with a story, a phone that records clean audio, and a clear idea of the stops. Good tours are specific and local: the detail a visitor could not find themselves is what makes them worth paying for.
How it works on QuokkaGuide
QuokkaGuide's creator platform handles the hard parts: you plan the stops on a map, and AI helps draft and polish the narration, which you edit until it sounds like you. See getting started for the full walk-through.
Publishing, pricing and earnings
Set your price, test the tour on the ground, and publish. Creators earn a share of every sale (up to 70 per cent), paid out as travellers buy. The details are in publishing and pricing and earnings and payouts.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need professional recording gear?
No. A modern phone in a quiet room is enough to start; clear narration matters more than studio polish.
How much can I earn?
Creators keep a share of every sale (up to 70 per cent), and a good local tour keeps selling long after you publish it.
