Benable: The Low-Pressure Way to Start Sharing, Experimenting, and Maybe Even Earning a Little Spark Money

When “playing online” actually helps you grow

If you’ve spent years living inside rules, responsibilities, or survival mode, the idea of “putting yourself out there” might sound like a foreign language. You’re not trying to become an influencer or launch a business. You just want to do something different—something that feels playful, creative, and a little bit daring in the smallest possible way.

That’s where Benable comes in.

Benable is a simple (and surprisingly fun) place to make and share lists. Lists of cozy favorites, books that changed something in you, tools that help you calm down, or places you dream about visiting. There’s no pressure, no algorithm to please—just a colorful little corner of the internet where you can practice expressing what you love.

And yes, you could eventually earn a bit from affiliate links (more on how to do that below)—but the real value is in the practice of showing up and playing again.
It’s about curiosity, not conversion. Spark, not strategy.

Why join Benable?

Here’s the honest version, not the “make six figures in your sleep” one.
A lot of people are talking about making tons of affiliate income from Benable. So far, I haven’t seen anyone actually doing that at scale—but I have seen it spark creativity and confidence in ways that matter even more.

Benable helps you:

• Learn to create publicly without pressure. It’s like training wheels for content creation. You can play, experiment, and share ideas without worrying about algorithms or “building a brand.”

• Discover what lights you up. You’ll quickly see which topics make you excited to gather links for—and which ones feel like pulling teeth (that’s data, by the way!).

• Start building your online comfort zone. Writing a list description, uploading a photo, sharing it on social media—it’s all gentle practice for showing up creatively.

• Get tiny visibility sparks. Benable lists can appear on Google, which means your recommendations (or products) could pop up in search results.

• Use it as a soft-launch pad. If you already have a website, Etsy shop, or digital product, Benable is an easy way to share your links and test what kind of collections people actually click on.

It’s kind of like digital mood boarding meets micro-marketing—with a sprinkle of “oh hey, I actually had fun doing this.”

A bonus perk: Benable gives instant access to 40,000 affiliate brands

Another fun thing about Benable is that it automatically connects you with over 40,000 brands through its built-in affiliate system. You don’t have to apply or get approved for individual programs—Benable handles that part for you. When you share a product from one of their connected brands, the platform automatically adds your affiliate link in the background. If someone clicks through your list and makes a purchase, you earn a small percentage of the sale.

It’s not a get-rich-quick setup (you might earn coffee money, not rent money), but it’s a simple, zero-stress way to learn how affiliate marketing works while you play.

How to join and set up your Benable account

1. Go to benable.com and click “Join.” Skip the waitlist by using my code YF1J7

2. You’ll be asked for a profile name (what people see publicly) and a username (your unique handle, like @sparkfinder).

   • ✨Tip: Keep your profile name friendly and recognizable—your name, brand, or vibe.

   • ✨✨ Super Spark Tip: Don’t spend all day (or week) stressing about chosing the one, perfect name. Pick one that you are ok with and know that it is easy to change it down the road.

3. Add a short bio—something real, not robotic. A simple line like “Curious creator sharing sparks of inspiration and comfort” works beautifully.

4. Add a profile photo—your face, your logo, or a visual that fits your brand colors. (I have heard some people say that Benable prefers real people in the profile photo, but I can’t say if this is true or not.)

5. That’s it! You’re ready to start making lists.

How to create your first Benable list

1. Click “Create a List.”

2. Give it a fun, descriptive title—something like:

   • “Self-Care for Rough Days”

   • “Books That Helped Me Find My Spark Again”

   • “Cozy Winter Essentials”

3. Add a personal description. Benable recommends writing from the heart, not in sales-speak. For example:

   “These are the things that helped me rebuild tiny pockets of calm when life felt like too much. I still reach for most of them weekly.”

4. Add your links—they can be affiliate products, regular links, YouTube videos, blog posts, restaurants, or anything that fits your theme. Often the images that come up with the links are not the right images so you may need to upload your own.

5. Use sections if you want to organize things (like “Books,” “Tools,” “Little Luxuries”).

6. Choose a cover image that feels like your vibe. Benable will automatically create a cover with images from your lists. You can add or delete images, change their size, or create a unique image using Canva.

7. That’s it! Your list will automatically go live. If you want to see it click on “my profile” in the top right corner. You’ll see a notice that your post is optimized or almost optimized. I can explain this later, but for now, just have fun and play in your sandbox.

Psst! At the end of this post, I share a bunch of Benable list ideas to get you started!

Sharing your Benable lists

• You can share directly to Pinterest, Facebook, or anywhere you hang out online.

• If you have a website, embed your lists or link to them in blog posts or emails.

• Try adding your list link to your Instagram bio or a “Resources” page.

• Or, don’t worry about it and just have fun creating lists!

Sharing lists helps you see what resonates. Maybe people click on your journaling tools but scroll past the tea collection. Or maybe your random “Books that made me cry (in a good way)” list gets all the love. These tiny insights are gold. Even if you don’t need the insights to grow a business, if you have been living in survival mode or like too many women, living with a man whose hobby it is to bring you down, it is HUGE to show up as yourself and see how people resond to you.

Best practices & gentle advice

🌟 Start wide, then notice what feels fun.
Create lists in different categories—personal growth, travel, home, whatever pulls you in. Over time, you’ll spot patterns. Don’t filter your ideas. Have really weird hobbies or interests? Make a list and put it out there.

🌟 Keep it real.
People love honest recommendations more than polished influencer vibes. Share what actually helped or inspired you.

🌟 Mix affiliate and non-affiliate links.
Benable encourages variety—and you’ll learn more by mixing things up.

🌟 Let curiosity lead.
Don’t chase trends (unless they genuinely light you up). The spark comes from sharing what feels like you.

Final thoughts: Tiny sparks, not grand plans

Benable might not make you rich—but it could make you curious.
And curiosity is where everything starts.

Whether you’re testing affiliate ideas, sharing tools you love, or just learning how to “be seen” online, each list is a small act of creative bravery.

Think of it as a sandbox project: no deadlines, no pressure, just the joy of seeing what happens when you follow a spark.
