So, you may recall from a few days ago that I mentioned an affiliate platform that paid you for making lists.

I did wonder if it was too good to be true, as it was so quick and easy, but I am happy to report that I have got my first commission!
[attach]2350[/attach]Only another $77 to go, then I can cash out, lol.
I’ve been using Benable for a few months now. It’s fun and easy to build the lists. I have 7 optimized lists and the blue verification checkmark. I’m only at $22.00 but I also don’t spend a lot of time on it either. I do know others who have cashed out like 4 times already. It definitely works!
The Benable staff are really friendly and go out of their way to help.
Thanks for the updates both. This does seem like a tight little business model.
Steve ... how are you optimising your lists? Are you focusing on search rankings?
[edit] Now that I've signed up (thanks for the link Diane) and created my first list I can see the optimisation happens naturally ;-)
Yeah, sometimes getting them optimized is a bit of a fight. They have a good support team and they’re pretty good answering questions in the chat and email.
I get daily emails saying that people from all over the world are looking at my lists. I just wish they would all be buyers. lol
I've added 20 items to my first list now. A decent length paragraph description for every item and still not quite fully optimised yet. Still says "near optimised".
How do I break that barrier?
@rohanm I don't really know how it works; all of my lists were "optimized" almost as soon as I created them. I wonder if it's commenting in the first person that helps? Nearly all of my recommendations are written as "I love this because" or "this is my favorite," etc.
Here's the guide from Benable https://benable.com/list-optimization-tips?group_id=199aafad-5516-4dfd-b2a8-8b7283cae961
@rohanm Benable support team has always told me to rewrite the section and note descriptions for better optimization. Make them more personal, like your talking to a friend. I have 7 optimized lists so far and the blue verification checkmark. The support is really good at answering any questions you might have too.
Excellent, thanks both! I will try rewriting :-)
Boom! Spent 30 minutes rewriting all 20 list items and now have an optimised list.
Thank you Diane and Steve. That's why I love this forum :-)
A quick update ... I got my 2nd list online last night. Optimised first time :-)
I noticed that you can add an affiliate link to the item description which shows up and is clickable from the list index page. So now, when someone visits my list page (not the individual item page) they can click through directly to the product from there.
Pretty cool and that should increase clicks through to the affiliate partner. The more I use Benable, the more I like it!
@rohanm I got my second sale yesterday, such fun!
[attach]2360[/attach]@diane nearly there! lol
