Screen Shot 2025-05-10 at 7.48.48 am.pngInteresting so many have joined already too word gets out quick! 

I have amazingly made my first bit of cash back (see above) (although not one of my own Zazzle products ;( (I discovered too you only get your pay out if you hit $80) so will not be seeing that for awhile.
Still it is an interesting new alternative to pinterest. But yet another time sucker!
I was shocked about the click as I was just trying it out only been on there a few days!
It can't harm our marketing efforts and if it brings some really much needed cash eventually then winning... The way things are going for me need anything I can get right now.
I think it is wise to be looking at the best way to promote our designs. I felt it would help to mix and match from other stores, hence the happy accident. Anyway I am waffling as always here is my link to create your own shareable lists by signing up using my invite link: https://benable.com/i/SDGYB if anyone wants to join as haven't already.
Plus check you can see what I am doing to help generate traffic and much needed sales here https://benable.com/mylittleeden. I hope you follow I will return the follows 😉
I am still working on how to get the most from this new platform, without it eating up my already precious time.
But I have to say quite good to highlight our products. It will be interesting to see if helps moving forward or is just a new flash in the pan? Good luck everyone x

Had trouble posting. So I wrote the post elsewhere and pasted it in.

 

We have been doing research as we go and your post made us decide to give out what we have learned. I know you were just on our page but here is the URL. https://benable.com/MarilynR

 

From what we learned Benable is located in Washington DC with some employees around the globe. It started in 2019.

 

We started out with the public service list to shop used, vintage, and garage sales because of all the hoopla over tariffs, price increases, and shortages. We started to use Amazon looking for toys that weren't being restocked from imports. Because we were finding too many restockable dolls, we did a Google search and found that Etsy, which we thought of as handmade merchandise, had the vintage dolls. The rest of the toys came from eBay. We did a search two days ago and several of the dolls had sold, but until Benable gets paid and notifies us we won't know if we generated the sale. Since events have changed this list may no longer be of value

 

Then, we thought of all the travel articles we have written. Some are on our blog or waiting to be posted to it. So, we looked at the affiliate programs for the list of travel brands on Benable. Comparing the affiliate programs we chose TripAdvisor, but we are going to compare them again because we missed something the first time.

 

Anyhow, like you we need money as quick as possible. So we started looking and thinking. We saw an article online where somebody told how much money they made on Benable in one month while someone else said that nobody could make $80. So we started thinkr and doing more research into the affiliate programs for different brands on Benable.

 

We all know that if you make a referral on Zazzle, you won't get the money until July. The whole Ambassador thing has got us unsure of referring Zazzle on Benr.So we started comparing other brands on Benable. Etsy pays on the first and the fifteenth. So we won't know if we sold any dolls untill Benable gets paid on Wednesday, but if we sold $150 worth of dolls we get $6. They didn't mention a waiting period for sales to clear. eBay pays on the 10th but I can't remember if they mentioned a 30-day waiting period. Amazon has a 60 day waiting period. 

 

Travel brands wait until the customer has completed their vacation. Then, we read that TripAdvisor pays for click throughs and hotel reservations only. They don't pay for travel destinations or restaurants even if the customer booked then on TripAdvisor. We need to go back and see if this is the same for other travel brands.

 

We wanted faster payouts. So, we started looking for places where returns have to be made immediately. We saw GrubHub. They pay 10% of the firstb order if you sign up a new member. They pay every Thursday. So, we tried a "reasons to join GrubHub" list but it is a bit repetitive and we ran out of reasons before it was optimized. We did look at the thread where somebody said they got sales and tried those brands. 

 

We do have a bunch a books from Amazon so we will have to wait for a payout. The same with travel lists, but some of those will have quicker Etsy payouts in them. We will be looking at brands with higher referral rates and brands that will sell more products and try to create lists with a combination.

Hello, I just created a Benable account a few days ago and hope to create my lists soon.  When posting a product from Zazzle, do you use the basic link or the html share link?  I believe the basic link is also in my browser when I view one of my products.  I followed you and plan on following many more on Zazzle.  Here's my link if you'd like to follow me.  Thanks!

Hi, what is consider your best lists? Benable has been sending me message in tune up telling me to move a certainty list to top! Thanks for your help!

You can probably tell which are your best lists by how many people look at them. And if Benable says to tell you to move a particular list to the top, then it's something you should do.
