What is Benable?
Benable is a platform where you can share the things you already love and use. Think of it like a simple online list. Instead of keeping your favourite books, skincare, or baby essentials in your notes app, you can put them on Benable and share them with others.
When someone clicks on a link and makes a purchase, you earn a small commission. It’s a way of turning your everyday recommendations into income.
Step 1: Create Your Free Benable Account
Go to benable.com and sign up. It only takes a few minutes.
If you’re using your Benable page for yourself and your home, you can use your name. If you want to build something bigger later on, you can choose a simple brand name.
👉 Pro tip: Use your real name or your brand name for consistency across social media.
Step 2: Build Your First List
Inside your account, click “Create List.”
A list is just a small collection of things you recommend. Keep it simple. Start with one.
Here are some ideas for a first list:
- Books you’ve read during nap times
- Kitchen tools that make family meals easier
- Baby items you couldn’t live without
- Gentle toys that your children love
Think about what you’re already sharing with friends in real life. That’s the perfect place to start.
Step 3: Add Affiliate Links
You can add products to your list in two ways:
- Directly through Benable – Search for the product and add it.
- With affiliate links – If you’re already in an affiliate program (like Amazon Associates), paste your affiliate link when you add the product.
👉 Don’t worry if you don’t have affiliate programs yet. Benable integrates with popular networks and helps you get started. Add what you use, one thing at a time.
Step 4: Share Your Benable Page
Your Benable page works like a mini-website for your recommendations.
You can share it:
- On Pinterest
- On Social Media accounts
- In blog posts or newsletters
- Directly with friends and family
It’s about sharing what already makes your daily life easier.
A Gentle Way to Grow
Starting is easy, but growing your income takes strategy. Here are my top tips:
- Focus on niches: Instead of sharing “everything,” create lists around specific interests
- Be authentic: Share products you actually use and love. Your audience can tell when it’s genuine.
- Promote regularly: Work your Benable lists into your regular social media content.
- Experiment: Try different types of lists to see what your audience clicks on most.
You don’t have to rush. Add to your lists slowly. Share them when it feels natural. Maybe you make a list while the baby naps. Maybe you add a few links while waiting at school pick-up.
Over time, those small steps build up. And one day you’ll see that something you shared has helped someone else.. and it’s also helped your family with a little extra income.
That’s the beauty of affiliate marketing with Benable. It’s simple. It fits into ordinary life. And it grows with you.
