On store.fan you sell downloads, courses and memberships; on hello.fan fans pay by the minute to talk with you. Link the two with a paid store.fan plan and you keep 70% of calls instead of 60%. **The Best Platform** · Premiums Only LLC October 20, 2026 5 min read Key takeaways - A link page only points elsewhere; a link-in-bio store can take payments itself. - Products earn without you; live calls earn with you. Together they cover both kinds of demand. - A paid store.fan plan linked to your hello.fan page lifts your share of calls from 60% to 70%. - Run the numbers: Starter pays for itself once your calls and sales pass the break-even in the examples. ### On this page - [What does link in bio monetization actually mean?](#what-does-link-in-bio-monetization-actually-mean) - [Why pair products with paid live calls?](#why-pair-products-with-paid-live-calls) - [How does the 60% to 70% share work?](#how-does-the-60-to-70-share-work) - [Which store.fan plan makes sense for you?](#which-store-fan-plan-makes-sense-for-you) - [How do you set up one link that earns two ways?](#how-do-you-set-up-one-link-that-earns-two-ways) - [What should go on the page, and in what order?](#what-should-go-on-the-page-and-in-what-order) - [How do you know if your link in bio is working?](#how-do-you-know-if-your-link-in-bio-is-working) - [What mistakes should you avoid?](#what-mistakes-should-you-avoid) - [Frequently asked questions](#faq) ## What does link in bio monetization actually mean? Most social profiles give you one clickable link. Link in bio monetization means making that click lead to something people can pay for, not just to a list of other places to find you. There are two broad kinds of page you can put behind it: - **A link page** lists buttons that send people elsewhere: your channel, a shop on another site, your newsletter. - **A link-in-bio store** sells directly on the page: downloads, courses, sessions, memberships. A link page is a signpost; a store is a checkout. If you want the link itself to earn, it needs to be able to take a payment. We compare the two in detail in [link-in-bio store vs link page](https://thebestplatform.com/blog/link-in-bio-store-vs-link-page/). ## Why pair products with paid live calls? People who tap your link usually want one of two things. Some want an answer they can use right now without talking to anyone: a guide, a template, a recorded lesson. Others want you, live: a question about their own situation, feedback on their work, a conversation. A link that serves only one of them leaves the other with nothing to buy. The two also feed each other. Someone who buys your guide may want help applying it, which is a call. And the questions you hear on calls again and again are the best possible list of products to make next. There's a timing benefit too: products sell while you're offline, and calls earn while you're online. This is the setup our two platforms are built for. To be upfront: we make both **store.fan**, the link-in-bio store, and **hello.fan**, where fans pay by the minute for live video, voice and chat. The arithmetic below works the same whatever you decide. ## How does the 60% to 70% share work? On hello.fan, creators keep 60% of what fans pay. If your store.fan shop is on a paid plan, Starter or Pro, and links to your hello.fan page, you keep 70% instead. Free Plus is a good way to start a shop, but it doesn't count as a paid plan for this. **Example:** a fan spends 3,000 credits ($30) on a call with you. You keep $18 at 60%, or $21 at 70%. Every $100 of fan spending on your calls is worth an extra $10 to you at the higher share. That gives a simple break-even. Starter costs $24 a month at the launch price, so the extra 10% on calls covers it on its own once fans spend $240 a month with you, because 10% of $240 is $24. Below that, your store sales can make up the difference, as the next section shows. Try your own numbers in the [earnings calculator](https://thebestplatform.com/hello-fan/creators/#calculator). ## Which store.fan plan makes sense for you? Plan | Monthly price | store.fan fee per sale | Your hello.fan share when linked | Free Plus | $0 | 30% | 60% | Starter | $24 at the launch price (regular $29) | 0% | 70% | Pro | $49 at the launch price (regular $99) | 0% | 70% | Free Plus has every Starter feature; the difference is the 30% fee. Starter comes with a 14-day free trial. Pro adds hosted course videos, flash campaigns, discount codes, AI e-mail marketing and your own affiliate program. Stripe's own card processing fees apply on every plan. **Example:** in one month, fans spend $100 on calls with you and you sell $50 of products. On Free Plus you keep $35 of the sales and $60 of the calls, $95 in total. On Starter you keep all $50 of the sales and $70 of the calls, $120, minus the $24 plan: $96. Starter comes out $1 ahead, and the gap widens as either number grows. For sales alone, Starter beats Free Plus once you sell more than $80 a month, because 30% of $80 is $24. If you're just starting and sales are small, Free Plus costs nothing until you sell. Every plan is listed on [store.fan pricing](https://store.fan/pricing?utm_source=thebestplatform.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=blog-one-link-two-incomes&utm_content=body). ## How do you set up one link that earns two ways? - **Claim your page.** Sign up to [store.fan](https://thebestplatform.com/store-fan/) for free, pick your address (store.fan/yourname) and choose from 28 themes and 11 layouts. - **Create your hello.fan creator page.** It's free, with no monthly fee. Set per-minute prices for video, voice and chat; video is priced at or above voice, voice at or above chat, and chat can be free. The [creator guide](https://thebestplatform.com/hello-fan/creators/) walks through it. - **Set your working hours** so hello.fan switches you online and offline automatically. - **Link the two.** Add your hello.fan page near the top of your store with a plain label such as “Talk with me live.” - **Add one product** that answers a question people ask you often. If you'd rather not make one, browse the Ready-to-Sell catalog. - **Put the store link in every bio** you have, and use the same one everywhere. - **Decide on a plan** with the examples above, and revisit the choice after a month of sales and calls. ### Sell it from your link in bio store.fan is a free link-in-bio store for downloads, courses, coaching and memberships — 216 Ready-to-Sell products if you have nothing to sell yet.

A page that tries to show everything ends up selling nothing. Lead with one option for each kind of visitor and order them by what people ask for most. - **A live option** for people who want you: your hello.fan link, with your hours in the label if they're regular. - **One main product** for people who want an answer now, with its price visible. - **An ongoing option**, such as a membership, if you have something to offer every month. - **Your main channel** last, for people who simply want more of your content. **Example:** a language tutor's page could read “Practice speaking with me live” (hello.fan), “Pronunciation guide, PDF” (a download), “Weekly conversation club” (a membership), then a link to her video channel. Four lines, each with a clear next step. Our roundup of the [best link-in-bio stores](https://thebestplatform.com/best/link-in-bio-store/) explains what else to look for in the page itself. ## How do you know if your link in bio is working? Look at it monthly, not daily. store.fan includes analytics, so you can see which items people open and buy. On hello.fan, watch whether calls follow the days you mention your hours, and whether people heart your page. Fans who heart a creator get an alert when that creator comes online, so a heart is a useful sign of interest. - Note which item gets the most clicks and which gets the fewest. - Move the strongest item up, and rewrite or remove the weakest. - Change one thing at a time so you can tell what made the difference. A good page still needs visitors. Our guide on [how to promote your link in bio](https://thebestplatform.com/blog/promote-your-link-in-bio/) covers that half of the job, and [how creator payouts work](https://thebestplatform.com/blog/creator-payouts-explained/) explains when the money from each platform reaches you. ## What mistakes should you avoid? - **Too many links.** Ten equal buttons make every one of them easier to ignore. - **Hidden prices.** People hesitate to tap when they can't see what something costs. - **A call link with no hours.** If you're never online, the live option disappoints. Set working hours first. - **Changing the link itself.** Keep one address and change what's on the page instead. - **Ignoring the plan math.** Revisit Free Plus versus Starter as your sales and calls grow. ## Frequently asked questions ### Do I need a paid store.fan plan to sell from my link in bio? No. Free Plus costs $0 a month and has every Starter feature; store.fan keeps 30% of each sale. A paid plan removes that fee and, when your shop links to your hello.fan page, raises your share of calls to 70%. ### Does the 70% share apply on the Free Plus plan? No. The 70% share on hello.fan applies when your store.fan shop is on a paid plan, Starter or Pro, and links to your hello.fan page. On Free Plus, or without a linked shop, creators keep 60% of what fans pay. ### When does the Starter plan pay for itself? Example: at the $24 launch price, Starter covers its cost from store sales alone at $80 a month of sales, or from the extra 10% on calls alone at $240 a month of fan spending. A mix of both, such as $100 of calls and $50 of sales, also gets there. ### Where does the money from each platform go? store.fan sales go straight to your own Stripe account; store.fan never holds the money. hello.fan earnings are paid to your bank through Stripe from $100, after a quick ID check, and each earning is ready 14 days after it is made. link in bio monetization monetize your link in bio link in bio store sell from your link in bio paid calls from link in bio Published by Premiums Only LLC, the company behind hello.fan and store.fan.
