How to Support Course Designers
GSPro course designers invest hundreds of hours into each course. Here's how you can support their work through subscriptions, tips, commissions, and more.

Building GSPro courses is a labor of love. Each course takes anywhere from 100 to 500+ hours of painstaking work — satellite imagery analysis, elevation mapping, texture creation, and countless rounds of testing. The designers who create these virtual masterpieces deserve our support.
Here's how you can give back to the community and help your favorite designers keep creating.
Leave Reviews and Ratings
Not everyone can support financially — and that's okay. You can still help by:
- Rating courses you've played
- Leaving detailed reviews about what you liked
- Sharing courses with friends and on social media
- Joining discussions in the community
Positive reviews help designers gain visibility and attract more supporters.
Subscribe to Course Packs
The best way to support a designer consistently is through their Course Packs — subscriptions that give you access to exclusive courses while providing the designer with recurring income.
Why it matters:
- Recurring support lets designers plan and invest in better tools
- You get access to premium courses not available anywhere else
Commission a Course
Have a specific course you've always wanted to play? Many designers accept commissions to build custom courses.
How commissions typically work:
- Contact the designer through the Course Building Discord
- Discuss the course, timeline, and budget
- Agree on terms and milestones
- Designer builds the course
- Depending on the agreement, the course may be released publicly or kept private
Commission prices vary widely based on course complexity, designer experience, and timeline.
Why Support Matters
Course designers aren't just hobbyists — many are skilled professionals who invest in expensive software, satellite imagery subscriptions, and countless hours of their time. Your support helps:
- Keep free courses coming
- Fund better tools and resources
- Allow designers to dedicate more time to quality
- Grow the GSPro community overall
Every dollar, every rating, every share makes a difference.
