Frequently Asked Questions
What is Benable?
Benable is a tool to create beautiful, shareable lists of things you recommend. Ever get asked for
recommendations? Benable is the all-in-one platform to share your favorite: products, places, services,
activities, videos, recipes, and more!
Save time, delight friends and followers, and earn extra income. Prevent the things you’ve recommended
from getting buried in your feed or disappearing in your story! With Benable, you automatically
compile beautiful lists of things you recommend.
How does it work?
Benable in 3 steps:
Step 1: Create a profile and start a new list (e.g. “Skincare Recs”, "Best Restaurants in LA", “Baby
Gear”, “Holiday Recipes” etc)
Step 2: Add keywords or paste a link to something you recommend. Benable will automatically scan
the web to pull in all the info: photos, links, social, reviews, etc!
Step 3: Confirm or edit the info as you like. E.g., upload your own photos, include an optional
note, etc.
That’s it! Tap to get a shareable link to your Benable profile or lists, which you can add in your
Linktree, bio, or on your blog. Your friends and followers don’t need a Benable account to view
your Benable lists!
How can I earn money on Benable?

35,000+ sites that will pay you when someone makes a purchase from your list. When you join Benable you

Anytime you add anything from these sites to your Benable list, Benable will auto-add a custom
affiliate link for you. And Benable doesn't take a penny, you keep the whole commission! (If you
already have a partnership with a brand, you’re welcome to use your own affiliate links.)
How does Benable work with things that don’t have affiliate links?
Benable is a tool to compile all of your recommendations into beautiful lists. Many of the things
people recommend don’t have affiliate links, e.g. restaurants, articles, parks, local services, activities,
professionals, etc. You can still add those things to your Benable lists even if they don’t result in a commission!
How do I share my Benable?
Super easy, just copy your Benable profile link and paste it wherever you like! Most users add their
Benable link to their Linktree, on their blog, or in their bio.
Can I share lists privately?
Yep! Benable lists can be public or private, so you can share your recommendations with everyone,
your community, or just specific people (e.g. clients, friends, family).
How much does Benable cost?
Benable is free! Eventually, Benable will monetize through brand partnerships, and paid ads in search
results similar to Google, Pinterest, etc.
