Full transparency
WHO WE ARE, STRAIGHT UP
We're not a scam, and we'd rather show you than tell you. Our goal is simple: do work that keeps Charlotte a great place to live, work and play, and open real opportunities for the people who make it that way.
🚀
We're a startup
NexLvlCharlotte is just launching. We don't have a track record yet, and we won't pretend we do.
📈
Growth, published monthly
Every month we'll publish how we're doing, so you can judge us on real numbers.
💵
How we make money
Our guides, our tours, and local advertisers. That's it. No pop-ups, no spammy ads, no selling your data.
🤝
Real opportunity, no promises
Creators can earn separate income with no cap, but earnings depend on effort and sales. We never guarantee income or results.

THE RULES
1Always disclose. Use #ad, #partner or Instagram's Paid Partnership label on any post where you earn commission or got something free. It's FTC law and it protects you.
2Keep it Charlotte. Your NexLvl content must have a Charlotte focus: local spots, local people, local stories.
3Keep it honest. Only recommend places you'd actually send a friend.
4No buying through your own link, and no paid ads bidding on "NexLvl" or "NexLvlCharlotte".
5No spam. Don't drop your link in comment sections or groups that don't allow it.
FAQ
When do I get paid?
Commissions are paid monthly for the previous month's sales. Your dashboard shows what you've earned and what's been paid.
How long does my link count?
30 days. If someone taps your link and buys a guide within 30 days, the sale is yours (unless they tap another creator's link after yours).
Do I need a big following?
Not to earn commission. Micro creators with an engaged Charlotte audience often convert best, and the Insider tier is built for you. Paid business jobs are different: they need 5,000+ followers (or subscribers) on your main platform, 2%+ engagement and a 40%+ Charlotte audience.
What should I post?
Anything with a Charlotte focus. Your real Charlotte: favorite local spots, weekend plans, neighborhood tours, new-to-Charlotte tips. Then point people to the guide for more.
