Locals, creators, and anyone who gets asked

Your link is on your dashboard Home and under Share the moment you sign up. Put it in three places now, so it is there when someone asks: the bio link on whichever profile people find you through, a contact card on your phone so you can share it like a phone number, and a saved text you can send without typing.

The saved text is the page pointer line with a commission notice on the end, and nothing else. No tour names in it. That is what keeps it a pointer, and a pointer with the notice attached needs nothing added:

Under Share, the Share Assets card makes a Welcome Card and Instagram images. Each one carries the QR code to your page and the commission notice printed inside the image, so it is ready to hand over, pin up at a counter, or show on your phone. Use Download PNG on whichever one you like, save it to your phone, and show that when someone asks in person.

Do not use a bare QR code image as your lock screen or your hand-out. The plain QR from your Share page has no commission notice in it, so on its own it is not a finished material. The generated card is.

When you name a tour yourself, in a caption, a story, a text, or a post, say that you earn a commission right next to it. Not only in your bio, and not on a linked page. The card and your Guest Guide already carry the notice; this is only about what you write yourself.

Pick one of these and use it as it is:

Short list. Each one is a platform rule, a law, or your partner agreement.

Hawaii licenses activity desks: anyone who sells, arranges, or advertises that they can arrange tours for a fee. You are not one, and the way to stay that way is simple. You send people to Big Island Activities, and they book there, directly with the operator. Never take a payment or a deposit, never hold a spot for someone, and never say you can book it for them. If a friend wants help, open your link with them and let them book.

In week one, watch clicks, not bookings. Your dashboard's Activity screen shows every click on your link, and clicks are the number that tells you the link is where people can find it. Someone who taps your bio link today might book next week for a date after that.

Your first payout is realistically six to ten weeks after your first click, and here is why. The commission is earned when the tour is completed, not when it is booked. Payouts go out on the 21st of the month after the tour ran, via PayPal, and only once your balance is at least $50; anything under that rolls forward to the next month. So a tour booked early one month and taken later that month pays on the 21st of the following month. Add your PayPal details under Payments any time before then.

You earn 8% of the booking total, before taxes and fees, on every tracked booking that completes. A booking that is cancelled or refunded does not pay, and if it is reversed after a payout the amount comes off the next one.
