You've built an audience. People tap your link in bio every day. So why send them off to a separate store — losing half of them on the way — when you could sell right there on the page they already trust?
Selling digital products from your link in bio is one of the fastest ways to turn attention into income. Here's how to do it well, and how to keep more of what you make.
What to sell (start with what you already know)
Digital products are ideal for creators because there's no inventory, no shipping, and near-100% margin. The best first product is usually something you can make from knowledge you already have:
- Templates — Notion setups, spreadsheets, design files, presets
- Guides & ebooks — the thing people always ask you how to do
- Presets & assets — Lightroom presets, LUTs, sound packs, icon sets
- Mini-courses — a short, focused video or PDF walkthrough
- 1:1 access — a paid call, audit, or review
You don't need a big catalog. One good product that solves a real problem beats ten half-finished ones.
How selling from your bio should work
The mechanics matter more than people think. A good setup looks like this:
- A product block sits on your bio page, next to your links.
- A buyer taps Buy, pays with card or Apple Pay in a couple of taps.
- They get the download or access immediately — automatically.
- You get paid directly, and you capture the buyer's email so you can sell to them again.
That last point is the quiet superpower: every sale is also a new subscriber. A buyer is worth far more than a follower, and now they're on your list.
The fee problem nobody talks about
Here's where a lot of creators lose money without noticing. Many all-in-one creator platforms take a percentage of every sale — often around 5–9% on their free plans, on top of the normal payment-processing fee. Sell $2,000 in a month and that's up to ~$180 gone, every month, forever.
A 9% platform fee doesn't sound like much until you multiply it by every sale you'll ever make.
Look closely at any tool before you commit:
- What's the platform fee on the free plan vs. paid?
- Who's the merchant of record — you or them? (It affects taxes and refunds.)
- How fast do payouts land in your bank?
- Do you capture the buyer's email, or does the platform keep it?
How Lynq handles it
Lynq uses Stripe Connect, so payments go directly to your own Stripe account — you're paid like a real business, and payouts hit your bank on Stripe's normal schedule. You stay the merchant of record, which means you own the customer relationship.
On fees: Lynq charges 0% on Pro ("keep 100%") and just a small platform fee on the free plan. Compared to ~9% elsewhere, keeping 100% of a growing product income adds up fast — often paying for Pro many times over in a single month.
And because it's all on your Lynq page, every purchase also captures the buyer's email and can add a tip option, so a single page grows your list, your income, and your repeat sales at once.
A 30-minute launch plan
- Pick one product you can deliver as a file or link.
- Write a one-line promise — the result the buyer gets.
- Price it simply — round numbers convert; you can always test.
- Add it to your Lynq page and connect payouts.
- Tell your audience in a post and a story, and pin the product.
Don't wait for the perfect product. Ship the useful one, watch what sells, and improve from there.
