Founding Creators · Cohort 1 of 50
Don't just influence what people see. Influence where they go.
Your travel content could become someone's honeymoon, family trip, or once-in-a-lifetime week. On GoSmart, travelers save your recommendations to trip boards, plan with friends, and book around them.
- Inspire real trips. Your post lands on a trip board, not in a forgotten folder.
- Two ways to earn. Affiliate bookings now, brand boosts in 2027, on content you already made.
- Be early. Founding Creators earn more, for longer, and the first brand campaigns come from their posts.
You already inspire people to travel.
On Instagram, the best that happens to your post is a like, a comment, or a save into a folder nobody opens again. It's gone from the feed in two days. You never find out whether anyone went.
On GoSmart, the same post lands on a traveler's trip board, next to the hotel they're pricing and the cruise they're comparing. Their friends get added. The trip gets planned around it. And you see the saves and the boards your content lives on.
That's influence you can actually see. Not a view count. A trip someone took because of you.
From inspiration to actual trips.
Your content shouldn't end when someone scrolls past it.
A feed matched to each traveler’s vibe, not the clock. Your post can be found months after you made it.
Travelers save your recommendation to a trip board and share it with the people they’re going with.
Hotels and cruises book inside GoSmart, right beside the boards.
Two ways your content earns.
Inspire memories, not just engagement. Then get paid two different ways for the same post: the Affiliate Program today, brand boosts coming in 2027.
Earn on qualifying bookings travelers make from your posts and links. Publish 20 posts, be on GoSmart 30 days, apply, and a person reviews it.
How the Affiliate Program works →Hotels, cruise lines, destinations and tour operators pick your post and pay to boost it inside GoSmart. Our planned model gives you 60% of eligible boost revenue. No follower minimum.
How brand boosts work →Way 1 · Affiliate Program
Create. Inspire. Earn.
After 20 published posts and 30 days on GoSmart, creators with 20,000+ followers on an eligible platform, or creators individually approved by GoSmart, can apply for the Affiliate Program. Every application is reviewed by a person. Approved affiliates earn rewards on qualifying bookings from their posts and links.
Way 2 · Brand boosts (coming 2027)
When brands see value in your content, you should too.
Coming in 2027: travel brands will be able to choose a creator's post and pay to boost it on GoSmart. When a brand pays to promote your approved post, our planned model gives you 60% of eligible brand-boost revenue. You create; GoSmart brings the brand and the audience. Your consent is required for every campaign, you keep ownership of your content, and boosted posts are labeled as paid partnerships.
No follower minimum and no affiliate approval needed. Any creator with content a brand wants may be considered.
Travel brand? Ask about curated placements and creator boosts.
Brand boosting is planned for 2027. Example amounts are illustrative, not pricing. Opportunities and earnings are not guaranteed. Shares are of eligible revenue after fees, refunds and campaign costs; final participation and payout terms apply.
Founding Creators
Be part of the beginning.
We're inviting 50 Founding Creators to shape how travelers discover, save, share and book. Established creators, micro-creators, destination experts, people who travel a lot and have opinions. No fame or pro camera required. Just content that could make someone go somewhere.
- First in line for brand boosts. The first brand campaigns are drawn from Founding Creators' posts.
- Fast-track affiliate review. Hit the requirements and your application goes to the front of the queue.
- Higher earnings, for two years. Founding Creators who become affiliates earn at a higher rate than later affiliates, for 24 months from approval.
- Your own founding code. A memorable code travelers can use at booking, so your Instagram and TikTok traffic counts even when a link won’t fit.
- We'll load your first 10 posts. Send them over and they are live before you have finished your coffee.
