Linktree is a link-in-bio platform that lets creators put their important links, products, services, and payment options in one place.
While many people use Linktree simply to send followers to their website or social profiles, it also offers several ways to make money from an audience. These include tips, donations, digital products, courses, bookings, affiliate opportunities, and sponsored links.
One of the simpler options is accepting payments from your audience. You can use Linktree’s payment features to collect tips, donations, and payments for things such as services or requests. Linktree supports payment connections through services such as PayPal and Square for its payment collection tools.
Creators can also sell digital products directly from their Linktree. You can upload items such as ebooks, guides, templates, workbooks, videos, and other downloadable files.
Buyers complete checkout through Stripe, and the money is sent to your connected Stripe account. You can set your own product price from $1 to $10,000 USD or the local equivalent.
Linktree charges transaction fees for digital products. The current fee is 12% on the Free plan, 9% on Starter and Pro, and 0% on Premium. Stripe processing fees still apply.
There are also commission-based features. Linktree Shops, sponsored links, and some affiliate opportunities can pay creators when their audience completes a required action. These partner earning features are currently limited to Linkers based in the United States.
For someone building an online income stream, Linktree is useful because it gives you one simple page for turning social media traffic into sales, tips, or leads. It does not pay you simply for having a Linktree page. Your earnings come from the products, services, payments, or commission opportunities you place on it.
