A typical app sells 200+ copies every month (provided you do some promotion), and you receive an amazing 50% of the net proceeds. You can publish all kinds of guides and itineraries, for destinations and topics around the world.

It's easy - you write your articles and upload photos directly on our website. If you already have your content ready, you just need to copy and paste it. Once done, your app will be selling within a few days.

But that's not all: We can also create an eBook for you, without any extra efforts. Your eBook will sell on Amazon Kindle, iBookstore (for iPhone and iPad), and many other leading eBookstores. We keep adding stores all the time.

Finally, you can also build a travel website on GuideGecko.com, to promote your app and eBook. In addition, you will earn 50% of the AdSense advertising revenues from the website.

Its main users are Who will be the primary target audience for your guide? What kind of people will use it? . With about articles and listings

Our guides are organized in sections. Each section can contain articles and listings.


Listings are points of interest that can be placed on map (e.g. places to see, eat, stay, walks & tours, etc.). Articles do not have a map location.

Rather than a general rule, the number of articles and listings should be determined by your type of guide and destination.


For traditional guides with sections for places to see, eat, sleep, etc., we suggest to include at least 80 listings and articles. This would make it a "Best Of" kind of guide. 100-200+ articles/listings would be better for a comprehensive guide that can sell at a higher price. Itinerary-style guides can have fewer listings.


There is no word limit for articles and listings.
