Linktree, a leading platform for consolidating online presence, has unveiled a suite of monetization features designed to empower creators in generating income directly through their Linktree profiles. These enhancements include the ability to sell courses, offer digital products, earn from brand-sponsored links, and establish shoppable storefronts.
Selling Courses with Kajabi Integration
In collaboration with Kajabi, Linktree now enables creators to develop and sell courses directly from their profiles. This integration allows experts across various fields—such as fitness trainers, musicians, and educators—to monetize their knowledge by offering structured learning experiences. Creators can set their own pricing and manage transactions seamlessly through Stripe integration.
Direct Sales of Digital Products
Previously, creators could sell digital products like e-books and templates via a partnership with SendOwl. Now, Linktree has streamlined this process by allowing direct sales of digital goods without third-party involvement. This update not only simplifies the sales process but also introduces a platform fee based on the creator’s Linktree subscription plan. This move positions Linktree as a competitor to platforms like Patreon, which introduced similar capabilities for one-off digital goods sales in 2024.
Shoppable Storefronts and Affiliate Earnings
U.S.-based creators can now build shoppable storefronts within their Linktree profiles, earning commissions from sales of products from brands such as Target, Amazon, Lululemon, and Revolve. Additionally, creators have the option to incorporate affiliate links directly into their profiles, further diversifying their income streams.
Sponsored Links for Direct Brand Collaborations
Linktree has introduced a Sponsored Links feature, allowing brands to pay creators for prominent placement on their Linktree profiles. For example, a creator could receive compensation when a follower subscribes to a service like Hulu through their Linktree link. These sponsored links are clearly labeled to maintain transparency with audiences.
Rewards Program and Unified Wallet
To incentivize engagement, Linktree has launched a Rewards program offering perks such as bonus commissions when creators achieve specific milestones. All earnings from these new monetization features are consolidated into a unified wallet, providing creators with a clear overview of their income streams.
These developments underscore Linktree’s commitment to evolving beyond a simple link aggregator into a robust platform that supports creators in monetizing their content and expertise effectively.
