I've just started with Benable, and I've no idea if the number of followers you have effects your views, but I assume it does, so thought this be a good place to share our Benable profiles and follow one another. So here's mine, and I'll follow any one back who follows,

Interesting 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!

Use the link you see in your browser.

I followed you. 😎

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!

[Barbara]

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.

Thanks for the information!

I have several lists now optimized, I am still working out why some still are missing the mark but as a general rule I have discovered for me at least,
1. Mixing your zazzle creations and other items seems to work best.
2. Having engaging text and good photos for each item listed.
3. Having a good intro on your list
4. Having at least 15-20 items on your list with links that work increases your visability!

As for the payout now not yet but I am getting closer, $12.53 😁
I think you need to keep adding more to keep the referrals coming in? I had a day on there adding more new lists and got another referral shortly afterwards.
But I think it is just another marketing channel to help get your work under more peoples noses.
Another point I have turned off referrals for Zazzle as I was told it is better to have people come in on your link and get the referral on Zazzle instead.
https://benable.com/mylittleeden
It is still early days. I have yet to sign up anyone either, seems impossible that! I don't know if that could help apparently it is only for a month you get 30% of the referral and after that you don't get anything from the referrals that signed up person makes? Well that is my understanding.

Either way it s fun to do and can't harm if you have a bit of spare time.

Feel free to skip the waitlist with my link: https://benable.com/i/SDGYB
I will be more than happy to report back as to what that does too!

Okay you can call me clueless but can you please tell me how to turn off the zazzle link on Benable so my links will work?

[M_Jacoby92]

The major way I did it was this:

1. Click on your profile page.
2. Select "Settings."
3. On the left, click "Cashback Settings."
4. On the default-selected option of "Enable Cashback" (with a description reading "Automatically convert links to affiliate links to earn money."), click on the button on its right to deactivate it.

That's how it seems to work for me. You could also probably manually go to all your Zazzle stuff on Benable and click the button next to the link to disable the Benable third-party stuff, but that might take too long. So, I would give the above method a try.

I first learned about this issue from another post on the forums:

https://community.zazzle.com/t5/share-your-tips-tricks/benable-tips-and-tricks-and-questions/td-p/19...

[mylittleeden]

This is fine if you are only linking Zazzle items only. if you do this and have a mixture of item from other places you will not get the cashback from those links, plus having just Zazzle items isn't the best way to get your items seen unfortunately, at least in my experience.

[Doodles]

Thanks for the feed back I appreciate it very much!

[M_Jacoby92]

So, you're saying that deactivating the Benable links will only work for Zazzle products and not for other products (like Amazon KDP)?

Additionally, should I re-enable Cashback Settings and manually unclick the Enable Link settings on all my Zazzle cards there?

[M_Jacoby92]

By Benable links, I meant the affiliate links.

[Doodles]

Thanks for the information I really appreciate you taking the time to write that all out!

I know it's very rough right now, but I'll improve it as time passes. Like I said, I just started it a few minutes ago. I'll try to add/invite the others in this forum later, too.

I've taken these past few days to set up by Benable account properly and now, it's filled up (with possible updates and alterations in the near future):

https://benable.com/MichaelJacoby

[Gaiarisa]

How, what did you fix?  My lists were optimized now needs fixing. Nothing I do helps and wish they would point it out. Been fixing for days 

[M_Jacoby92]

I was just generally setting up my account, creating lists and adding to them. It took me a little while, but I managed to catch up.

[M_Jacoby92]

And because I accidentally forgot to do it previously, here is the Benable link invite, to bypass the waiting period:

Has anyone reached the $80 payment threshold & cashed out? I've seen tons of posts online about people earning a few bucks after joining but most of them went silent shortly after, with no further updates on how much they made. Hardly any info on people who have successfully made their first withdrawal. Would be great to see if anyone here has made it, along with some info and screenshots of the cash out process. 

[SaraO]

I got to $40 quite quickly, then it stopped, nothing for months now - I wonder if anyone makes it to $80 too.
