Selling

Sell exclusive content straight from your link.

You don't need another platform, another algorithm, or another cut of your income. You need one page where fans can pay you directly — and unlock instantly.

The biggest shift in the creator economy isn’t a new platform — it’s creators selling directly. No middleman feed, no discovery lottery: a fan taps your bio link, sees your locked content, pays, and unlocks it on the spot. Here’s how to set that up properly.

Step 1: Make your page the destination

Claim your page (yours is xli.ink/yourname) and treat it like a storefront window, not a filing cabinet. Your locked content belongs at the top — above your social links, above everything. Fans who tap your bio link are your highest-intent visitors; show them the thing they can buy first.

Step 2: Price with a ladder, not a guess

Single-price pages leave money on both ends. A simple ladder works better:

  • Entry unlock — a low-priced set that turns a follower into a buyer for the first time. The first purchase is the hardest; make it easy.
  • Core drop — your main content at your standard price. This is most of your volume.
  • Premium set — a bigger bundle at a higher price for your most engaged fans.

You set every price on XLiink — the platform never dictates what your work is worth. Creators keep 80% of every sale, and there are no fees until you actually sell something.

Step 3: Let the preview do the selling

A locked card with a blurred preview, a clear title, and a price outperforms a wall of text every time. Fans should understand in one glance what they get and what it costs. Keep titles specific — “Exclusive drop · 12 photos” beats “New content!!” because it sets an exact expectation.

Step 4: Kill the checkout friction

Content stays protected until payment confirms, then buyers unlock instantly — no “I’ll send it later,” no DM logistics, no chasing. And because most fans arrive through Instagram or TikTok’s in-app browser (where saved payment methods don’t exist), XLiink’s Deeplink Technology routes them into their real browser first. That one step is why sellers on XLiink see an average +40% conversion lift.

Step 5: Promote the page, not the product

Your posts and stories have one job: drive taps to the bio link. Tease the drop, show the preview, say the words — “link in bio.” Then let the page close the sale. When your analytics show which post drove the most unlocks, make more of that post.

Quick math: 100 bio-link taps a day × a 5% unlock rate × a $14.99 drop = about $75/day — roughly $2,250 a month, of which you keep 80%. Small percentages on consistent traffic add up fast. See the full earnings math →
