Here are four ways to turn your audience into revenue with Linktree.

1. Launch an Online Course (Powered by Kajabi)

Do you have niche knowledge or a unique story to share? An online course is a powerful way to turn what you know into income—monetizing those smarts to build passive income over time.

Linktree has partnered with Kajabi to offer a fully customizable course experience that’s embedded within your existing Linktree, which means no additional sign-ups to start monetizing your expertise.

Online courses are a smart next step for creators who’ve built trust and want to monetize their most-asked questions. Think fitness trainers sharing their workout programs, marketers breaking down their strategies, UGC creators teaching how to land brand deals, creative professionals offering tutorials, or musicians teaching their craft. It’s all about packaging up their experience and the content they’re already creating, creators can help their audience grow—and get paid doing it.

When you create a course, you can:

  • Use smart AI features to kickstart your course content: Getting started is often the hardest part—but with Linktree and Kajabi, it’s easy. You don’t need a perfect plan—just an idea. Add your course name and a rough outline, and the AI will generate a complete course framework in minutes, including suggested modules, lessons, and even draft content, so you can focus on sharing what you know with confidence.

  • Create modules with lessons: Add topic-based modules to your course, then break each one down into a series of individual lessons. You’ve got the power to offer as much value as you’d like in a structured, sequenced way that permits flexible learning over time.
  • Build a text, video or audio-based course: You're in control of how you teach. Whether you prefer writing, speaking, or being on camera, you can build your course using text, video, audio—or a mix of all three. Play to your strengths and connect with your audience in the way that feels most natural to you.
  • Make your course paid or free: Once your course is ready to sell, take payments using Stripe embedded into Linktree. Or, if you’d prefer, you can make your course totally free.
  • Provide downloadable resources: Complement your course content and create a holistic educational experience with downloadable PDF resources such as templates, worksheets, or lesson summaries. 
  • Customize your course’s look and feel: Change the colors of your course landing page to reflect your branding and add images to the course and modules to engage prospective learners.
  • Grow your audience: Select what information you require when a customer signs up, such as their email address, full name or location.

Amber Lewis AKA Social N the City, a founder + Chief Creative Officer based in Detriot, says one of the biggest challenges for creators is building sustainable, diversified revenue streams without overwhelming themselves across too many platforms. She’s excited that Linktree’s new products — Courses, Digital Products, and Shops — allow her to simplify how she monetizes her brand directly through one space.

Amber loves that Linktree’s creator-first approach is not just making sales but also packaging her knowledge into actionable, lightweight products. With tools like her course Influence 101, she can turn her influence into income while staying authentic and accessible to her community. "It’s not just about making sales; it's about deepening my relationship with my community."

For Amber, Courses specifically represent a powerful shift from creators simply inspiring others to actually educating and empowering them — all without needing to build a whole new platform.

2. Sell Digital Products

Creating digital products is a one-and-done source of passive income. There are so many different digital product types to explore, including ebooks, printables and templates.

First, figure out where your niche or expertise lies, then find an angle that’ll speak to your online community and make you sales. For example, instead of developing an e-book about healthy eating, you could drill down even further and offer macro-friendly recipes that cost less than $20 to make.


How to set up Linktree’s Digital Products

When the time comes to sell your digital wares, Linktree’s Digital Products make things super simple.

Here’s how to set it up

  1. From My Linktree, click ‘Add’, then search for and select ‘Digital Products’.
  2. Build out your product details, adding a product name, description and cover image. 
  3. Upload your digital product file.
  4. Add your customer settings to determine what data you’ll receive when people purchase your product, such as their email address, name or location. Include a support email for customer queries and add optional terms and conditions.
  5. Price your digital product and connect your Stripe to Linktree if you haven’t already to start monetizing ASAP.
  6. Tap ‘Done’, then switch on your digital product so it appears on your Linktree. 

With one-click checkout and global payment options, Linktree’s Digital Products is rewriting the playbook for online entrepreneurs.


3. Monetize with Sponsored Links (US only)

Linktree has launched a first-of-its-kind advertising marketplace, allowing brands to pay creators directly for space on their Linktree. This means Linkers can now earn money by featuring brands and services they genuinely support—ones they believe will truly resonate with their audience. For instance, a creator can get paid when a follower subscribes to Hulu through their Linktree.

As part of Linktree Earn, you’ll find Sponsored Links right within the Earn tab. This feature lets you showcase paid brand offers front and center on your Linktree with a clear ‘Sponsored’ label. It’s a simple, effective way to turn your traffic into real income—earning cash every time someone redeems an offer from a partner brand.

Maximize your earnings by selecting sponsored links that your audience will find useful.

My followers have told me they love the convenience of hitting one link to go straight to the product, and it’s been super easy to associate entire collections of products with the actual video they’re mentioned in!”

Popular cleaning TikToker My Dose of Home curates all her must-have products into easy-to-navigate categories on her Linktree Shop, which makes the path to purchase for her followers smooth and quick.
