7 Ways to Make Money From Your knit.bio Page

A bio page does not earn money by itself. It helps an interested person reach the right offer without hunting through old posts. Choose one route that fits what your audience already asks for, then make that route easy to understand and complete.

1. Sell digital products

Digital products avoid physical inventory, but they still take time to create, support, and update. Useful first products often answer a question your audience asks repeatedly:

  • Ebooks and guides
  • Templates, presets, and Notion docs
  • Workshop recordings and supporting materials
  • Stock photos, audio, or design assets

On a store plan, add the item and use a Product Card block. Confirm your payment and digital delivery setup with a test purchase before promoting it. The native store is available on Link Pro, Creator Pro, and higher plans; a Free page can instead link to a shop you already use.

2. Earn from affiliate links

Recommend products you genuinely use and earn a commission on each sale. To get going:

  • Join programs like Amazon Associates or a brand's affiliate scheme
  • Create a "Shop my favourites" section with clear, honest titles
  • Always disclose affiliate relationships

Then watch your link analytics. See which recommendations get tapped, and lead with those.

3. Offer coaching or services

If you have a skill, sell your time. Coaching, consulting, audits, and done-for-you services are all easy to book from your page.

  • Add the Calendly Booking block so visitors can schedule in a couple of taps
  • Offer a short free intro call to qualify leads
  • Package your offer into tiers (one session, a bundle, or a monthly retainer)

4. Land brand deals

Once you have an engaged audience, brands will pay to be featured. Make it easy for them to say yes:

  • Use the Featured / Spotlight style for sponsored placements (and disclose them)
  • Schedule campaign links to go live and expire automatically
  • Keep a simple media kit with your audience stats and past partnerships

5. Build a paid membership

If you run a membership on Patreon, Substack, or another service, link to it and state what subscribers get, how often, and what it costs. Use a countdown only for a real enrollment deadline.

6. Grow an email list (then sell to it)

An email list gives you a more direct way to reach people who opted in, although deliverability and consent still matter. Email capture is available on the Free page; connect an email provider or use Broadcast when your plan and workflow call for it. Tell subscribers what they will receive and how often.

  • Check your plan and connect Mailchimp, Kit, or Beehiiv if you need subscriber sync
  • Nurture the list with useful content
  • Launch products and offers to a warm, ready-to-buy audience

7. Sell merch and physical products

Print-on-demand can reduce inventory risk, but shipping time, returns, and margins still need attention. On a store plan, list products with Product blocks or sync an existing Shopify catalogue. On Free, link to your existing shop.

The real secret: combine a few

After one offer works, a second income route can make a slow month easier to manage. A possible mix is:

  • A flagship digital product as the main earner
  • A handful of affiliate links running in the background
  • A few coaching slots each month
  • An email list you can launch to again and again

Your first three steps

  • Pick one method that fits your skills and audience today
  • Set it up on your page with a clear, benefit-led call to action
  • Check your analytics weekly and refine what's working before adding the next stream

Before expanding, check what people actually click and which sales you can support well. See the store setup guide and current plan limits if you want to sell directly through knit.bio. Payment providers may charge processing fees even though knit.bio charges no platform commission.
