I’m building a way for makers to monetize their "bio link" traffic. Thoughts? 📈

by
Makers Page

Hey everyone!

Most of us have a link in our Twitter/X bio that goes to a personal site or a Linktree. But for founders, that "prime real estate" is actually a massive distribution channel.

I’m working on makers.page a link-in-bio designed specifically for the startup ecosystem.

The twist: You can treat your profile like an ad network. Set a price, and let other makers bid to be "Featured" on your page. It’s basically "Sponsor-a-Maker."

I just launched the landing page and waitlist today.

Quick question for the makers here: What’s the one feature a "Link-in-bio" for founders is currently missing? (Analytics? Portfolio integration? Stripe payouts?)

Let's discuss!

This is actually a really interesting angle on link-in-bio - treating it like distribution real estate instead of just a profile page. What I’m especially curious about is how you’re thinking about signal vs noise here. If I’m a founder with a decent following, I wouldn’t just want the highest bidder - I’d want to feature products that make me look smart to my audience. A bad sponsor could damage trust fast. Are you planning any relevance, curation, or reputation layer on top of the bidding? Also, one thing I feel link-in-bio tools still miss is true intent analytics - not just clicks, but what kind of founder is landing (builder, investor, recruiter, customer). If you’re turning profiles into micro-ad networks, that kind of audience intelligence could make pricing way more meaningful. Love the “Sponsor-a-Maker” framing though - feels like something that could evolve into a whole creator economy for founders. Curious where you take it.

@dushyant_khinchi This is incredible feedback. You hit the nail on the head regarding Trust.

On the signal vs. noise: I’m envisioning a 'Right of First Refusal' for the maker. It shouldn't be a blind ad network; it’s a partnership. You only lease to people you’d actually vouch for.

On the analytics: This is the 'holy grail.' Moving past raw clicks to 'Audience Intelligence' is exactly where the value is. Knowing a recruiter vs. a fellow builder landed on your page changes how you price that real estate.

Thanks for the 'Sponsor-a-Maker' phrasing definitely stealing that! 🤝
