Sharing your topos on social media has real benefits:

  • You're sharing valuable local climbing information with the community.

  • Climbers discover new areas and get inspired to visit.

  • More visitors to your topos means more income for you.

You can make sharing even more effective with your topo author referral link β€” give any new user a 1-month free Premium trial, and their visits to your topo count towards your earnings just like paying users.

Where to share

Facebook β€” Post a direct link to your topo page in local climbing groups and area-specific groups. This works very well for reaching the right audience.

Instagram β€” Mention the 27 Crags app (@27crags.app) in your posts and stories. Since Instagram is mostly used on mobile, keeping it simple with a mention works best.

What to share β€” content ideas
