Write for SmartBali
We're looking for people who live in Bali, expats or locals, with a following on Instagram and places they really know. No influencer deals: you go, you pay, you write.
E-mail usWho we're looking for
- You live in Bali, as an expat or a local, not on holiday.
- You have an Instagram audience that trusts your tips.
- You visit as a normal guest and pay your own bill, every time.
- You write good English. AI may check and polish, but the visit, the experience and the words are yours.
- You write about places you'd recommend to a friend.
What we never do
- Sponsored posts, collaborations, invitations, free meals, discounts or barter.
- Ads, affiliate links, paid listings or any other income.
- Reviews of places you haven't been to, or texts written entirely by AI.
- Attacks on businesses or people. SmartBali only publishes recommendations.
