Maybe your first question is, "What is a Benable Page anyway and why do I care?"
So let me explain. Benable is a digital tool that offers users the ability to share valuable collections of "things" in topical lists. And while sharing starts in the Benable Community, sharing your links every which way— via your websites or social media channels, newsletters, DM's, or whatever— is easy and convenient.
It's nice to have groupings of related things all in one place I'm finding in my so far short experience as a Benable user. You can try it out too, if you like, using my link here: https://benable.com/i/T1AGQ, and use my code to skip the waitlist to sign up and create shareable lists with invite code: T1AGQ at www.benable.com.
(Psst... and if you try Benable, follow me so I'm sure to follow you back!)
For most users, these lists are comprised of "things" that include places, products, services, and anything else you want to share with others. Most often, your lists include things you know about or have experience with first-hand (like your favorite restaurants) so your lists represent your suggestions and recommendations.
Other times, your lists may be a dream or wishlist for you, especially for some of the shopping lists that offer say, hats for men, shoes for women, home decor, furniture, or stuff like that. I've made two lists so far after my first full month on Benable that fit the wishlist description:
They are titled, Mirror, Mirror and Hanging Out in the Lazy Hazy Dayz of Summer.
But I'm a Business Content Creator, Digital Marketer, and/or Affiliate Blogger
Benable isn't just about sharing dream lists and ideas though, mind you. It's also about gathering useful business insights and creating lists to help your audiences in a nice organized manner. Ms. Ileane Smith, a good friend and colleague AND the person who told me about Benable Pages, did an excellent job curating a very useful and vetted list to gain insights on using Instagram, for example. You can check out her list called, "Learn Instagram" here: https://benable.com/ileane/learn-instagram.
You can see how the profile on my customized page URL: https://Benable.com/SueAnn is (as always with me) tilted slightly towards business though this site is a lot of fun (so far) too. The trick I think is to make things personable and put your own spin on things you showcase by adding notes and selecting the right photos or visuals and formatting them.
Here are two business-first lists I created so far:

Cashback Earnings From Benable, Anyone?
The surprise kicker with Benable which is FREE to use, is that you get cashback when folks purchase through your link shares on products, services, courses, whatever. AND, you don't have to do a lot of extra legwork because Benable has 35,000ish vendor relationships to select from that offer a percentage back to you.
I made my first small commission in the first couple of weeks. (You do need a minimal total to withdraw as is typical.) Ms. Ileane is also scoring Amazon sales using her personal affiliate and influencer program links on Benable as an extra way to drive Amazon link credits instead of using Benable for her Amazon links.
But if you're not in the Amazon affiliate program, you can still get cashback showing Amazon products on your Benable lists. You just get it from Benable instead... they have the affiliate power for you!
Further, you can create Benable lists driving folks to your own offers and landing pages including the sale of your books, courses, coaching, or whatever. Go ahead and put all of your offers on a list! OR add your offers under lists in a specific topic, as applicable.
Not all list links have to be associated with revenue growth either. As always, think about serving your viewer, audience, clients, etc. first. And that, my friends, is another way to grow revenue! When you work hard to be helpful and relevant, sales are sure to follow.
Interesting?
I think so. But, let me know if you have or are considering experimenting with the Benable platform too. Also, be sure to drop any questions you may have and we'll be sure to get the best answers possible.
One positive note is the Benable revenue map doesn't include a cost to users, monthly or otherwise. They don't even skim (or take commission off your earnings) or take credit card fees or anything, but pay directly to you, conveniently. As I mentioned, there's a minimal earning figure first. Still, why not give it a whirl?
What I like best about it so far is it feels low stress and even fun to research and compile resources or just gather favorites for your lists.
