Get paid by sponsors on your link in bio

Turn the one link everyone opens into weekly income. Brands book a clearly labelled slot on your page, you approve every ad, and they pay you directly. featurd takes nothing.

Your link in bio is ad space you already own

Every follower, client and recruiter who opens your link sees the same page. One sponsor slot on it can pay you every week without a single extra post. You don't need a huge audience: brands pay for reaching exactly the people who follow you.

Marketplace-style "sponsored links" usually let you pick from brand offers and pay you per sale or sign-up. featurd works the other way round: you set the price, brands come to you, and you're paid for the week, straight into your own account.

A sponsor on a featurd page: labelled, one line, one button.

How it works

1. Set a weekly price

Pick where the slot sits (a card under your intro, a featured link, or a footer line), which weeks are open and your rules. featurd suggests a price from your real traffic.

2. Brands book and write the ad

They see your rate card with your live 30-day stats, pick weeks and write a headline, a line and a button, with a preview of your page.

3. You approve, they pay you

Approve, ask for changes or decline. On approval the brand pays you directly through your own Stripe or Razorpay, or your invoice. The ad goes live on the first day by itself.

4. Results, then repeat

Clicks are counted once per person per day, bots ignored. The brand gets a report when the run ends, with a link to book again.

What to charge

Most pages price per week: weekly views ÷ 1,000 × CPM, where weekly views are your monthly visits ÷ 30 × 7. Software and AI audiences sit around a $40 CPM, finance around $35, lifestyle around $20 and local audiences around $15, inside the $10–75 range newsletter platforms publish. A page with 10,000 visits a month and a tech audience would list about $90 a week. Small pages start at a flat $10–25.

Questions

Can I sell sponsored slots on my link in bio?

Yes. On featurd you set a weekly price and brands book one clearly labelled slot on your page: a card under your intro, a featured link or a footer line.

Does featurd take a commission on sponsorships?

No. Brands pay you directly through your own Stripe or Razorpay account, or your own invoice. featurd takes 0%; only the payment processor's fee applies.

How much should I charge a sponsor?

Most pages price per week: weekly views ÷ 1,000 × a CPM of roughly $15–40 depending on niche, with a $10–25 minimum for small pages. The free sponsorship rate calculator does the maths.

Do I approve every ad?

Yes. Nothing shows until you approve the exact headline, line, button and link. You can ask for changes, decline, pause or remove an ad at any time.

Is the sponsored slot disclosed?

Always. It carries an "Ad" label with the brand's name and the link uses rel="sponsored", in line with FTC, ASA and ASCI disclosure rules and Google's guidance on paid links.

Which brands can't book?

Gambling, crypto trading, adult, weight-loss, political, tobacco and weapons brands are blocked for everyone. You can also block any domain yourself, such as a competitor.

Do I need a big audience?

No. Brands pay for the right audience. Your rate card shows your real 30-day views, people and click rate, so a small, focused page can still sell weeks.

How do brands find my rate card?

Share your rate card link with brands you like, and leave the "Sponsor this page" link in your page footer on. Requests arrive in your Sponsors inbox.
