Earn Money Sharing Your Favorite Local Spots
You already know the best restaurants, coffee shops, and hidden spots in your neighborhood. On Hey Nghbr™ (pronounced “Hey Neighbor”), that knowledge has real value. As a Neighborhood Insider, you can create curated plans — collections of your favorite local spots — and earn simple, upfront payouts when people buy them.
It's not about being an influencer or building a following. It's about sharing what you genuinely know about where you live — and getting paid for it.
How It Works
Share What You Know
Visit your favorite local spots and share quick recommendations — the places you go to regularly and would tell a friend about.
Build Your Track Record
As you share recommendations and engage with the community, you build credibility as someone who knows your neighborhood.
Create Curated Plans
Put together themed collections of your best local spots — "Best Coffee in Kerrytown," "A Perfect Saturday in Depot Town," or "Date Night in Ann Arbor."
Earn Upfront Payouts
Set a price for your curated plans and receive simple, upfront payouts when people purchase them. No complicated revenue sharing or ad deals.
