Benable is more than just a place to drop product links; it’s a platform where the right mix of strategy, your personality, and consistency can turn you into the go-to name in your niche. If you’ve ever scrolled through trending lists and wondered how those creators keep showing up, it’s not luck. They’ve built systems for visibility, engagement, and trust. With the right approach, you can do the same, and in this guide, we’ll break down exactly how to rise through the ranks and become one of the most-followed creators on Benable.

Define Yourself

It all begins with your profile. Use a High-Quality image of yourself so people can relate to the person making the recommendations. Build trust!

Your Bio should be short and focused. Quickly introduce yourself and make an impression.

Build Authority with Strategic Lists

You do not need a million different lists; you need high-demand, evergreen topics with SEO and viral potential. You can use Google Trends to see what people are searching for. Look for spikes, but also look at trends over time. Search the past year to find what people are interested in. Below are a couple of list types.

List Types That Work on Benable:

1. Trend Chasers – Seasonal or viral TikTok/Instagram products (fast traffic boosts).
2. Evergreen Essentials – Year-round problem-solvers (“Best Gifts for Fishermen” or “Small Kitchen Appliances That Make Life Easier”).
3. Niche Deep Dives – Ultra-specific, loyal audience grabbers (“Coloring Books by Age,” “Astronomy Gear for Backyard Stargazing”).

Just like a blog, your list format should:

• Have SEO-friendly titles that people search for.
• Use strong, personal comments on each item.
• Include a mix of affiliate & non-affiliate links for trust.

Non-affiliate links can be to an article that provides value to your suggestions, whether it is a how-to use it, or further information. Not everything should be something you intend to sell. Providing helpful information helps your list gain authority.

Master the Traffic Game

Benable list do get indexed by Google and Bing, but to be effective, you need to send traffic there as well! This is where your marketing skills, which you learn here at WA, come into play. Some examples:

Daily Traffic Sources:

• Pinterest – Your #1 friend for visual lists. Create vertical pins linking directly to your lists.
• TikTok/Instagram Reels – 20–30 second product spotlights with the Benable link in your bio.
• YouTube Shorts – Quick demos or “top 3” product videos that push to your Benable page.
• Facebook Groups – Share your lists in niche communities (no spam, offer genuine value first).
• Reddit – Answer questions in relevant subs, link to your list as a resource.

Turn Visitors into Followers

Beyond your blog, I have not yet found a way to get subscribers for your email list. However, there are other ways to convert visitors into loyal followers.

• Use one master Benable link in all your bios, so people see all your lists.
• End each list with “Follow me for new finds every week” to build repeat visits.
• Update lists regularly so followers keep coming back.

Scale Fast

Like any other content you create, you need baseline content. You also need to be consistent in creation to stay on top.

• Aim for 2–3 new lists per week for the first 60 days.
• Each list = 15–50 products.
• Use a trending and evergreen mix so you don’t have traffic dips.
• Collaborate with other Benable users to cross-promote your content.

Track & Optimize

You need to keep an eye on your list. Make improvements as needed and remove things that are not working. I have removed an entire optimized list after rethinking my strategy. This will help me in the future because even though they were optimized, they did not conform to the way I currently create lists.

• Watch your most-clicked product, move it higher up on your list.
• Duplicate high-performing formats for different niches (“Best Gifts for… [Audience]”).
• Replace underperforming products with more effective alternatives.

Play the Long Game

Popularity isn’t just traffic spikes; it’s consistent relevance. Utilize your marketing skills to promote and maintain your list, ensuring it remains relevant in the future.

• Using your Blog, build an email list of followers who want updates.
• Create a recognizable style so people spot your lists instantly. (See Track & Optimize for why I removed lists.)
• Keep your niches tight enough that people know exactly what to expect from you.

Like any other form of affiliate marketing, Benable is not rocket science, but the steps you take in the beginning and in the future can either make or break you. Please take my advice: focus on providing valuable and practical recommendations that offer value to people seeking solutions.
