For guides
Turn your local knowledge into income
We are looking for excellent local guides and business consultants in every major Chinese city.
Why join iAskLocal?
Earn from your local knowledge
Turn your city expertise and English ability into paid online consultations.
You set your daily rate
Customers book you by the day. Day 1 is your minimum rate, and longer bookings get automatic multi-day discounts.
Get paid per completed order
The platform handles payment and takes a service fee (default 20%); you keep the rest and get paid after delivery.
Work online first
Most services are delivered by video or chat, so you can start without traditional tour operations.
Get a steady stream of customers
The platform brings demand to you, like a ride-hailing app brings passengers to drivers.
Build your reputation
Ratings and reviews help great guides rank higher and earn more.
We intentionally avoid traditional travel-agency relationships. We prefer independent locals from English corners, assistant services, and non-traditional international travel networks.
