Your gaming knowledge
is worth real money.
The Guide Forge pays you to share what you know. Write guides for any game, set your own price, and keep 85% of every sale. No audience required.
Great gaming knowledge goes
unrewarded everywhere else.
Reddit gets the upvotes
You write a detailed guide, it gets 500 upvotes, and Reddit keeps 100% of the ad revenue your content generated.
YouTube takes the cut
Video guides take days to produce. The algorithm decides if anyone sees it. You keep maybe 55% if you are lucky.
Wikis pay nothing
Fandom and wiki sites profit from your contributions while you get a thank you and nothing else.
The Guide Forge was built to fix this.

Write once, earn forever. A guide published today keeps earning for as long as readers find it useful.
Any game

Earn from free guides too
Free guides generate ad revenue that gets shared back to you. Even guides you give away for free put money in your pocket every month.
Common questions
Do I need a big following to earn?
No. Your guides are discoverable through search and browse. New creators earn from day one without any existing audience.
What games can I write guides for?
Any game. Popular titles like Minecraft and Elden Ring have large audiences but niche games often have less competition and dedicated fanbases willing to pay for good guides.
How do I get paid?
You earn tokens when readers purchase your guides. Once you accumulate 2,000 tokens ($20) you can request a cash payout to your bank account via Stripe.
Is there a cost to join?
No. Signing up and publishing guides is completely free. We only take our 15% when you make a sale.
Can I set my own prices?
Yes. You choose the token price for each guide. You can also offer guides for free to build your audience and charge for premium content.
How does ad revenue sharing work?
When readers view your free guides ads are shown on the page. A portion of that ad revenue is converted to tokens and credited to your account monthly. The more readers your guides attract the more ad revenue you earn.
Do I have to charge for my guides to earn money?
No. Free guides earn ad revenue every time someone reads them. Many successful creators publish a mix of free guides to build their audience and premium guides for their best content.
What if my guide does not sell?
Free guides still build your profile and audience. Many creators start with free guides to establish credibility then charge for their best content.
