How it works.
1
Pick your code
Tell me the code you want, usually your name. You get two: one for a cheaper Trip Pass, one for a free week of unlimited Bearings, plus your own page to link to.
2
Share it with your audience
Say it in a video, or put your page in your bio, a caption or a newsletter. Followers type your code into the app under "Have a creator code?", or tap your link.

Earn 30%, paid monthly
You earn 30% of what Apple pays us on everything those followers buy, and on a subscription you keep earning for as long as they stay. Paid monthly by PayPal.
What that's worth.
| What they buy | They pay | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Trip Pass, with your code | $7.99 once | $2.04 |
| Founding Explorer, after your free week | $29.99 a year | $7.65 a year |
| Monthly Membership | $5.99 a month | $1.53 a month |
One post that sells 50 Trip Passes is $102. The Trip Pass is the easiest thing to sell: a one-time $7.99 instead of $9.99, with no subscription to talk anyone into, and it waits until their trip starts.
On the two subscription plans you earn again every time that traveler renews, for as long as they stay subscribed. The Trip Pass is a one-time purchase, so it pays once.
Figures are 30% of what Apple pays us, which is the price less Apple's 15% commission. A sale is paid out once it's 30 days old, after Apple's refund window.
Why it converts.
Your audience is already deciding whether to book a walking tour, and in most cities that decision costs them $30 or more, at a fixed time, in a group, in one language. Bearings is the $7.99 version that works on their own schedule, anywhere they happen to walk or drive, in the language they want. That's an easy recommendation to make and an easy one to accept.
Questions.
Who's a good fit?
Travel bloggers, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube creators, newsletter writers, and admins of travel groups and forums. If people come to you for advice about where to go, this fits. There's no follower minimum.
When and how do I get paid?
Monthly, by PayPal, for every sale that's past the 30-day refund window. I'll send you a note with your sales along the way. Subscriptions keep paying you on every renewal, for as long as that traveler stays subscribed.
Do my followers get anything?
Yes. Your Trip Pass code takes it from $9.99 to $7.99, and your free-week code gives a week of unlimited Bearings before Founding Explorer's $29.99 a year. They see your price as soon as they enter your code.
Is it free to join?
Free. There's nothing to buy, no exclusivity, and no minimum you have to hit before you're paid.
What am I actually sending people to?
An audio guide for wherever they already are. They walk or drive, and it tells them the history, architecture, and local stories around them, matched to what they said they're curious about. See how it works and try it yourself before you recommend it, which we'd rather you did.
Where do I ask something else?
Email trevor@travelwithbearings.com. A real person reads it.
