How to earn money with Flaer

You go to a local business, post about it on Instagram, and get paid for it. No follower minimums, no applications, no brand deals. If you have an Instagram account and a business near you on Flaer, you are good to go.

1. Post about a business on Instagram

Go to a local business that is on Flaer, grab something you like, and post it on your Instagram story. Just make sure the business is mentioned somewhere in the story, whether that is a location tag, an Instagram tag, or the business name in your text. Flaer looks for that when it checks your post. Everything else is up to you. Post whatever feels right. Scroll down to see .

2. Submit your post on Flaer

Open the Flaer app, log in with your Instagram account, find the business on the map, and tap on it. Then tap "Share Business" and pick the Instagram story you want to get paid for. Flaer never posts anything on your behalf and cannot access your DMs or make changes to your Instagram account. The whole process should take at most 30 seconds.

3. Wait for your post to be verified

24h

Once you submit a story, Flaer waits 24 hours before calculating your reward. That gives the story time to get views and lets the business take a look at it. If you submitted a post or reel instead, the wait is 7 days. You don't need to do anything while you wait. Just leave the story up and let it do its thing.

4. Get paid and cash out anytime

Once your post is verified, the reward lands in your Flaer balance. To cash out, you will need to connect a Stripe account. If you don't have one, it only takes a minute to set up. All payouts are handled entirely by Stripe, not by Flaer. Open the Flaer app, tap cash out, and the money goes to your bank account.
