Okayโฆ I have been hearing about ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ for over a week now, so clearly there is some BUZZ happening around this platform. ๐
So naturally, I had to check it out.

Think of it as a mix between Pinterest, affiliate marketing, and curated recommendation lists. You create lists of things you personally recommend books, products, travel, business tools, resources, and more and other people can browse those recommendations.
But here's where I think it gets interesting for ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐. ๐๐ฐ
I just opened my account and I'm starting to map out my strategy.
๐ ๐ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ:
๐ Lists recommending books I personally love
๐ผ Lists around business, publishing, personal growth, etc.

You can connect recommendations directly to Amazon, which means someone could discover one of your books through your Benable list and click over to Amazon to purchase it....And there is another potential income layer.
Benable automatically monetizes eligible recommendations through its affiliate partnerships, including Amazon, and if you already have your own affiliate relationships, Benable says you can use those as well.
So theoretically, your book recommendations can create multiple opportunities:
๐ More exposure for your books
๐ Another source of traffic going to your Amazon listings
๐ Potential affiliate commissions on qualifying purchases
๐ Your normal book royalties when someone purchases your book
๐ Another searchable piece of content working for you online

I'm always looking at ways we can build MORE places for readers to discover our books instead of relying only on Amazon search or constantly posting on social media.
And Benable says it has a built-in audience and can distribute recommendations through feeds and search engines, which makes me especially curious about what kind of visibility these lists can generate over time. ๐
I'm brand new to it, so I'm going to be testing this right alongside you guys. Iโll share what I learn, what seems to work, and how I end up structuring my author lists.

You can create your account using my referral link here:
If you join, start thinking beyond just listing your own books. What kinds of lists could you create that naturally put your books in front of the RIGHT readers?
Thatโs where I think this could get interesting. ๐
